Transition from barista to administrative roles

I struggled to showcase my transferable skills to potential employers, fearing they'd view my barista experience as unprofessional.

What I wish I knew
"To highlight the skills I've gained in customer service, teamwork, and time management, which are valuable in many industries."
If I could tell you one thing
"Emphasize your transferable skills and create a strong narrative to showcase your capabilities to potential employers."
