What do you do for a living?

[Harry Monk]

Was just wondering if our work streams crossed.

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.

I'm after a change too. Not seen anything where no degree is a barrier mind.

All the best.
