XP from MM - Career Advice

[firelight1210]

I have been with my current company for going on 7 years, and am looking for a change. I am in the banking industry - when I started with the credit union I was hired on as a basic member service rep/teller, and have been gradually promoted up to loan officer. This is as high an I would like to go with the company, as far as being on the branch side. I have no desire to become a manager, with THIS company, which would be the next step on the ladder. Prior to this, I was in retail for 6 years; I worked for Old Navy beginning my senior year in high school as a part time sales rep, working my way up to visual merchandiser by the time I left, with a pit stop as a front end supervisor. Basically, all my experience has been in customer service. I want to get OUT of that.

In my current position, I not only process loans, but I have a lot of admin responsibilities - I created our tracking system for logging our results to keep us on pace with our goals, I do our FedEx, our supply ordering and pretty much run our (albeit tiny) office. I have created a good reputation for myself with the company as someone who can be relied on to get the job done, very organized and easy to work with.

I would like to transition into an admin role, eventually into something into accounting. I do not have a college degree. I am an introvert and a little bit socially awkward at times. How would you recommend: 1) networking/gaining confidence/getting my name out there and 2) framing my resume for a more admin, not so customer-service oriented position .

I would like to make 2014 the year I get out of this place, and I'm willing to (finally) put myself out there and try and make it happen. I just don't know where to start.

I'm sorry if this was super rambly, ask me if I need to clarify anything. I appreciate any and all help!
