5 job applications, 2 cv’s, one career change.
Why? The problem solving and rewards in the social support sector aren’t enough for me! I want to work to support those who want to help themselves and for a large majority of my clients over the last few years, it is often not this case.
So, knowing my strengths, weaknesses and skills, i’m taking my stride towards a vocation that most find boring, but I love!
It means a pay cut and more training/qualifications but as I’m the right side of 30, I don’t have a problem with that! Moving for me will literally be all change and I can’t wait!
Many people I know are at the stage of finding career work fe the first time outside of higher education and ate facing a whole heap of issues.
Too much competition, badly scripted application forms, boring CV’s, interview nerves or over confidence.
Do your best.. Not the sort of best your mum would except but is really a thinly veiled sludge of “I can’t be bothered”!
Sell yourself, your skills, attitude, enthusiasm and possibly body! If you don’t sizzle then a) it’s possibly not the right job for you and b) someone else will!
Be prepared, the boy scouts give sound advice, know your industry, learn about the company and keep to key information!
Lastly, know matter how many times u get passed over, man the **** up and keep trying!
