What should i do?

[flashy]

As you all know, i will be going back to work soon but i have a problem....i dont know what sort of work to go for, i had the idea of doing auxilliary work at the hospital, but i changed my mind on that, i've been looking online at jobs with BwD and came across a librarians job (dont laugh)

my past jobs consisted of care work, waitressing and a lot of voluntary work at the community centre and at school.

i dont want to go back to care work, i want something different, something that suits me

yes i know i have a gob on me, and im a bitch when i start, what sorta job do you think would suit me? all sarcastic remarks are more than welcome

[AccyLass]

Certainly not a librararian then!

Ya gotta be quiet in a library

Ya gotta be able to set examples an all that,
as ya look over the top of ya glasses and say "Shhh!" lol

[flashy]

contrary to popular beliefs Chelle, i CAN be quiet when the need arises

only my opinion obv but i do think that care assistant is a good choice for you...... teh elderly need someone that will take proper care of them and not ignore things that shoulntbe happening and wont be bullied into anything.

obviously what ever makes you happy good luck with the job hunting.

I have worked in care for many years - in nurseries with children. I have come to the conclusion that working around people that have an attitude of "i am alright jack" and will do anything to pull each other down is tiring and emotionally draining. Yes there are people who are ideal for being carers but because they are ideal they are easily affected by the attitudes of people who arent really ideal for that job. There arent many team players in the role of care maybe because there attitude makes them think the world owes them a favour for doing the job in the first place.

Flashy I have recently left childcare and will not go back to anything in that field again- dont get me wrong there is nothing more rewarding than working with people who need your care in whatever way - its the staff i cant work around anymore.

so my solution........ i went and enrolled onto a BA homours graphic design course it is something I always wanted to do and my health is rapidly improving, even though i havent even started it yet lol

Have you thought of going back to college - they take mature students on sometimes without qualifications that younger people would be asked to have - it may be worth a look then you could be heading towards doing something that really excites you

but I would say steer clear of care - yes you probably are damn good at it - but maybe it is now time for some "you time"
best of luck

How about a "Bouncer" or Door-person shaz? i know ya don't take any crap.

[flashy]

thanx for that Lisa

college really isnt an option, i have been on benefits for a long time now and HAVE to go back to work, like you say, its time for some 'me time' i want a job for me, not something that i just have to put up with to get by, yes i know life doesnt go that way and its not always that easy, but i want to pick rather than having a job i dont like
