have a career

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.

...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?

i just want to have a career, anything, but i’m trying to figure out what i want to do.

I have to say that I have made progress in this area. I have been working in my field since February. However, I was laid off about a week ago. I have applied for two postions. Next week I will flood the market with my resumes!!!!!!! I will survive :)

College this Fall- soon after? Career, baby! This is definitely one my most important goals of all time (in history of my goals).

=D

Step one, I posted my resume on the Career Builder website.

I’ve had plenty of fun jobs that supported me, but I want to grow up and be passionate about what I do.

i really want to go back to school and get my cosmotology license. it is something i have really wanted to do ever since high school. i would like to have my own salon one day. honestly i would do anything to be my own boss. maybe i should get into sales…

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

I have a job that I like It dosent pay much. But I like it.
