Floods on the roads out of Luton = no one except me shows up for work. So here I am.

 

Where is here?

 

This virtual realm we hang out in. Also work.

 

How you finding work, Joe?

 

Not particularly fantastic but that's mainly because it's a boring job. The whole getting up at 7 thing was easier to get used to than I expected, and I just sleep a lot less now. About 6 hours a night, opposed to the 10-12 that it was during uni. Just need a job that's more interesting and I'm good.

 

As long as it hasn't completely drained your soul yet, you're fiiiiine.

 

ok now he's realized he can post on here... slacker!

 

I have had good jobs in medical research, but you still have periods of boredom. I have also worked in retail which had its good points...lots of interaction with people...and its bad points...lots of interaction with people Knowing what I know now...I wish I had found a job which was also an interest...wouldn't feel like work at all. Depends on your interests of course, but I think (if I had talent for it) I would have liked art restoration, working for something like the National Trust, or gardening. If I stick with my scientific background, I would have liked forensics (closed to women when I started).

My point is that although money helps the world go round...never just work for the money.

 

Just remember, it's all about the dolla.

Sorry Fran

Bit of advice Joe . It is FAR easier to go from a job to a job , Whatever you do , don't jack it in , until you have something else .

 

I haven't worked for nearly fifteen years and I didn't like it much when I did as it seemed to get in the way of all the other things I wanted to do.

 

How would anyone think that was a good idea? Most women would surely be put off by it...and how is it empowering??

 

Spot on. Only resign when you have another job secured.

 

Being employed generally suggests you are employable...never let a gap appear in your CV...even an unskilled job suggests you can get up in the morning.

 

Prrfff, ignore them Joe. Sitting around getting ****ed up and playing Playstation IS a job, and I suggest you get to work!

 

You do know you don't have to put when you start and finish a job on your CV? All you do have to put is what your job was.

 

Don't really have much of a choice unless I want to end up on Jobseekers/falling back on my parents. And I intend to support myself.

That's pretty much it.

Football Manager is sort of a job.

 

It does help if you do put dates, because potential employers will want to know one way or another. They'll likely ask you in the interview.
