  IMHO the most important thing is to always have positive reasons for your desire for a new job. Always present it as moving toward something you want, not as running away from something you don’t want.

  You can say that you’ve been working with patients for however many years, and need a change. Everyone gets tired of things after a while, they can’t take anything negative from that. You can also say that you are in the right spot in your career for a transition into a more regular office environment.

  You can say that you are detail oriented and like working with data and feel that your nursing background can help you put all that data into context.

  As long as you are focused during the interview on how you can use your experience to help that group, you’ll be fine. Good luck!

    Yeah, saying “I left because I didn’t like it” makes prospective employers wonder what will stop you from leaving your new position when its downsides reach you. It sounds like you’ll just bounce around until you find the job you hate the least.

    If it’s framed as “I want to leave because this job has things that I want”, then there’s no reason to believe that something new will push you out.

    … though I do find myself wondering why OP believes it’s unrealistic to value a well-maintained database… especially in Germany, given the stereotypes! Lol

      Yeah, it makes me wonder if OP would actually enjoy the new position if they got it, considering that would be the job. There are definitely people that enjoy that kind of work. So yeah, definitely don’t write that on the application.

  But writing that I’m a nerd for figures and love assigning numbers to cases and also love large and properly formatted data files sounds ridiculous.

  Welcome to job searching, it’s all bullshitting anyway

  I’m an accountant and like it. It’s funny, we have the most fun at work, the whole finance team is great.

  I think saying you want to move away from clinical and towards the business side is not at all silly, nor does it sound like you are a quitter. Moving from operations to administration is often viewed as moving up, maybe you can just say you want the job as a step in a different direction?
