angel_janeToday I spent a lot of time soul searching. Which, for the most part is what I have been doing for the past few months. Today was a lot more concerted.
I have finally worked out the sectors that interest me;
So here is the more extensive list;
Business Administration
Personal Assistant
websites: www.ocr.org.uk
www.lccieb.com
www.iqps.org
www.pitmanqualifications.com
Receptionist
website: www.people1st.co.uk
Secretary
website: mostly local papers and online at various (would have been the book)
Call/Contact Centre
General websites are;
www.ccma.com
www.cca.org.uk
www.e-skills.com
Civil Service
This is basically government and local authority jobs
www.government-skills.gov.uk
www.careers.civil-service.gov.uk
www.faststream.gov.uk
www.dti.gov.uk
www.fco.gov.uk
email - recruitment@gchq.gsi.gov.uk
www.hmrc.gov.uk
www.hm-treasury.gov.uk
www.lg.careers.com
Print Industry (especially Office Jobs and Proofreading)
www.britishprint.com
www.proskills.com
www.getintoprint.com
Publishing
www.bookcareers.com
www.booksellers.org.uk
www.publishing-school.co.uk
www.ppa.co.uk
www.publishers.org.uk
www.train4publishing.co.uk
www.scottishbooks.org
www.sfep.org.uk
www.thesyp.org.uk
www.wipub.org.uk
Welfare Advice Work
www.adviceuk.org.uk
and also to look up NACAB
Human Resources
www.cipd.co.uk
www.dfes.gov.uk
www.ento.co.uk
Writing
The above list doesn't include the writing I wish to do, and trust me on this - I have plenty to say and say it I will, I will no longer sit and allow yet another dream die because I refuse to believe in myself on the basis of what someone who never paid attention to me has said - I have alerts and connections for calls for submissions and I may be able to swing starting a portfolio together - but I really want to have a steady job going first, whilst building it, and set some money aside to start a creative writing masters course at Birkbeck university (I am certain I can get in - with a few examples of writing ) or even via the LSJ (London School of Journalism)
There are also websites for me to go look up
www.societyofauthors.net - email: info@societyofauthors.net
www.writersguild.org.uk
and to also look at the writers and artists handbook. (which looks like even more investigation. Cool)
So all in all, I have a lot more focus - a lot more direction and a lot more research and information to pick up some actual job apps and perhaps contacts. I feel a lot more confident about everything from a career in Business to a career in Writing (which has been a dream since I was 15 - It will happen)
I have finally worked out the sectors that interest me;
