Seeking Advice on Transitioning to a Day Shift Job
I have a question. I am an MBA (HR & Marketing) professional working as a US IT recruiter for the past 5 years, predominantly during the night shift. Working for US staffing firms brings in good salaries and incentives. However, due to health concerns, I am unable to sustain long hours during night shifts. Besides, I am married and have a young child. I am contemplating transitioning to a day shift for a healthier lifestyle.
Can anyone offer advice on whether switching to a day shift job is advisable? If so, what kind of job should I pursue, and how should I communicate my preference for daytime roles in my job search? Whenever I upload my resume on job portals, I receive calls from US IT sourcing professionals but no responses from employers offering daytime positions.
Thank you.

Hi,
You may mention what you are seeking in your cover letter and in the resume too. Explore options for work in the UK market as the time difference might help. As you have done your MBA, see if you can explore a job in a company as an AM HR or Manager HR in recruitment. Try to get as much info about the domestic market before you go for an interview.
All the best!
