How to have a career

Hindering factor in achieving this goal. 4 months ago

Experience.

No employer is prepared to take me on in my choice of vocation because I lack commercial experience.

After working painstakingly hard to gain the necessary skills and knowledge how do you get yourself a career if no one is prepared to give you a chance? Very disheartening!

Must not lose motivation as I have done in the past. Must persist.

Doing what I always wanted... 4 months ago

...as a teenager I always found deviance interesting. I remembering discovering a book called ‘Criminal Women’ and thinking well I’m either going to be one or work with them. I chose the latter.

I fancied being a police or prison officer as a career but (at the time) the physical fitness side deterred me (it wouldn’t now) so I applied to train as a probation officer after uni.

I’ve been in my career for almost seven years now, there are aspects of it I like but the stress has been a major problem. The problem with a career in public services is that budgets are always going to be an issue, which in a practical sense means mega-high workload with little appreciation.

So do I stay or do I go?

What the? 22 months ago

I graduated in May of last year and have spent the time since working on a project to build a green building, while looking for jobs. I thought that all one needed was a college degree, but its not enough. I know I’m a hard worker but I’m having the hardest time finding something. I don’t know if I should just get a job and forget about it relevance to my long term career goals or hold out until something shows up. Does anyone have an word of advice or… anything
