I wake up everyday knowing that MAYBE today is the day that I make someones dream come true, I have the honor of making lots of people extremely HAPPY
I am a CAR Sales executive ........ I sell New and used cars ........ Not just ANY cars ....... I sell VAUXHALL and NISSAN or whatever decent Part exchanges we have taken in
Its a far cry from my previous job as I Worked in the Casino game for over 17 years in South Africa travelling the world looking after high rollers and spoiling them rotten ....... So currently on my 2nd life with the woman of my dreams enjoying being home everyday (Cardiff) and watching the CITY
I'm an IT consultant - nice hours money is good.
No sick pay, no holiday pay and no pension.
No need to be sorry, I agree with a lot of what you said, I chose Business as I was 18 straight out of school and no idea what I wanted to do.
Wanted to go to uni for the social aspect. I had a good time and don’t regret any of that, but the flip side was I never worked towards a particular career. Most people on my course ended up getting graduate roles at admiral and places like that, but I think my issue is I am not an office type person and not committed to finding these graduate roles. My previous jobs have been golf instructor in Boston (USA) and snowboard instructor in Italy.
Therefore I believe I am suffering from lack of consistency in what I studied and what I enjoy doing.
I have recently applied to be an Officer in the RAF as it seems a great bridge to match my love of travel and sport with a (half tidy) academic background.
I'm not quite sure why, but I think you will end up doing well in life . You come across as being honest and pragmatic. Don't be overly concerned by expectations - I didn't pass my driving test until I was 34 and I got married for the first time at 46. Live the life YOU want.
Portfolio Finance Director for early stage life science companies - love the work, although as most of my clients are cash strapped start ups, getting paid can be a challenge. But there is huge satisfaction in knowing you are contributing to improved medical outcomes.
Currently doing a fund raise for a company looking for £1.0-£1.5m, so if anyone is interested, DM me!
Good memory. The contract was originally awarded for 6 years, the customer has now revised this to 3+3, with the latter 3 years depending on Brexit, cost downs & exchange rates. So secured until 2021, 2022 onwards open to review.
Currently have 6 major customers.
i) German, as above
ii) different German company but same situation. Now written into contract "must be manufactured" within EU
iii) another German, contract ends in 2020, decided not to renew (after 20 years of continuos supply)
iv) French, contract ends 2020, will only renew is supplied from Lost Country Country
v) British currently sales down 50% contract until 2022
vi) Japanese current sales down 50% contract until 2021
Basically healthy until 2020 & then the business evaporates. Currently working hard to minimise losses. But to give example, customer #2 wants a €3M secured bond against a no deal Brexit!

Possibly. I'm looking for a change. Recently applied for a regulatory role in a social services setting (fitness to practice) but didn't get through the paper sift. Even with 37 years of investigative experience, mostly in serious crime, it seems that not having a degree has become a bar to moving into a new role. I managed to get my current role after 2 years as a private contractor with them, an opportunity came up, I interviewed for it and was successful. Not sure I'd have got it if I'd applied cold.
Good points here
Most organizations want a degree
The job doesn’t necessarily need one but if a degree is down as an essential criteria then if you don’t have one you get sifted regardless of experience
Too many HR people have been on a course and have overlooked the part about creeping
standards
Now an ex teacher (mainly geography). Worked my way up to Advanced Skills Teacher (now a defunct role). Went into education admin for the last year of work at the same school I taught at, organising careers/trips/activity week/enrichment days/all manner of extra curricular activities. Then took voluntary redundancy so am a gentleman of leisure until pension kicks in. State education is being privatised by the back door with a corporate ethos developing through multi academy trusts and the like. If you can avoid the politics and get a job in the right school, teaching can be a very rewarding career. You'll never have a dull moment.
Retired ex CFO/CEO in Financial Services.
This would be the best job ever.
You work off an app, you haul everything and anything . You decide if you get home or stay out , the bonus scheme means it pays to work hard. You can earn £2-300 in a day , doesnt happen every day but you will make £6-700 a week .
If you had somewhere safe to park the truck you could work from home...
I know its a bit late but did I sell i to you ?
If you did well I would buy you a new truck after 6 months , like mine with every conceivable extra on it.
Have you considered doing a TESOL (Trinity College London Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) or a CELTA (Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults). Both are widely recognised by employers and by official bodies. And working overseas not travelling but living in the country
I used to employ a lot of Aussies Americans Brits in a large English language school in Ho Chi Minh City and every single one of them thrived on the opportunity often going on to develop careers based around their experience rather than an academic qualification
