Just curious...


I'm currently looking for a job. I stayed at home with the kids until now. I don't know if it's just where I live, but it's really hard to find a job here.

Home commitments, but I think I would like a job.

[lily.]

haha.. staff privileges .. seeing threads before polls are up.

[swinearefine]

mooching

[lily.]

I made the poll private cos not everyone wants to disclose, and I figure if people want to disclose, they'll also post in the thread.

I'm only retraining so I can make more money, obviously. But hey, once I've finished my training, if you're ever in need of my professional services don't hesitate to contact me so I can tell you to **** off :-)

What do you currently do... and what are you planning to do... ? [if you don't mind me asking... and feel free to tell me to piss off and stop being nosey if you like lol].

I'm having trouble finding work. I can't get into administration, because I took so many years out to be home with the kids. I can't get into unskilled work because of my qualifications. Employers say I'm 'over qualified'.. which I think is bull. At the moment I'm volunteering in a charity shop so I can say that I have 'retail experience'. There's usually loads of retail jobs but they always want experience, so I figure this might be the way to go.

I could probably make more money in an office, but I'd need to go to college and essentially do the same stuff I've already done just so it's up to date. :/

I'd possibly get college paid for me at the moment, because my husband doesn't earn that much, so our family income would qualify us for fee waivers or whatever, but I don't know if that's the right road to take either.

Piss off and stop being nosey. Just kidding...

I'm a political agent right now, but it wasn't what I saw myself doing. I have a law degree so I'm going to take my bar qualification to be a barrister, which is what I wanted to do initially.

Maybe it's a perfect time for you to have a change of direction, and if you can do it without saddling yourself with tuition fees, even better. You know what they say... find a job you love and never work again. Hope you work it out and find a job or a course that's perfect for you.
