I’m All In!

My name is Tanisia. I’m in Alameda, CA, so “SF Bay Area” tech country. (It’s an island just next to Oakland, and 25 miles from San Francisco.) (If you’ve watched “Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home,” we’re where the “Nuclear Vessels” used to be.)

I was an Executive Assistant in the Financial Services industry until last March 2025, when the owner retired and sold his clients to a bigger firm. I’ve done temping and tax preparation since then, but I’m in a serious crunch situation now.

My whys? 1. I never wanted to work as an Administrative Assistant in the first place. 2. I have one, possibly two months before my unemployment payments fully run out and finances get dire. 3. I refuse to just rely on job hunting and not do everything else possible (and legal) to help myself. I’m still putting out resumes and looking for jobs, but the market is horrific. I’ve had about 7-10 interviews so far, but no takers.

While I still have the means to use what resources I have available, and somewhat of a runway, and all the daily time I have, I’m aiming to capitalize on this technological inflection point in order to save myself and transform my career. I’ve been entrepreneurial before, but I admit I was too comfortable and too scared to actually “sell” to people. I no longer have that luxury.

Summary: my “Why” is I see the opportunity to build a lucrative business, I have the time and motivation, and I’ll be damned if I just rely solely on job hunting to save myself!
