After I got my masters degree I did some career re-assessing after being completely unhappy. I discovered that what I really wanted to do was work in development for various local nonprofits. What can I say in my cover letter/interview to convince the interviewer that I (truly) want to go into this new direction? I have even been volunteering for eight months in the development department of a local nonprofit and that doesn't even seem to help to prove my case.
 
Get some really good refrences. I worked at a coffee shopp that hired external supervisors and managers with degrees. When they worked with me they thought I was the manager and had a good education. I only took one semester at college and was about six years younger than them. I worked my jon with profession not because I wanted a raise fast. So get others to soread the word around about you about how serious but relaxed you are. Work your grownd!
