Hello world

By willow

Hi everyone, I'm Willow. Thought it was about time to try a Shiftlog! Maybe I can let people know they are not alone in looking for their career, or motivate myself to stop procrastinating...

About me: I'm a mid 20s girl and seemingly stuck in a career rut. I am a graduate (business) and am still living at home after a spell in London that left me slightly career richer but finanncially poorer. And none the wiser obviously.

I have two jobs - one is office work and temporary and the other is waitressing and also temporary. Safe to say I am sick of doing work that has absolutely no interest to me (although, to be fair, they both have their good points and I do try to be good at them). I have a dream to earn above £6 per hour...

Career interests: using words, editing, writing, proofreading, layouts, being creative, concentrating on a single task, ethical business and the third sector, the Web, entrepreneurship, doing some good while doing a good job.

My dream job would be to have a creative, publishing type role within a non-profit organisation or publishing company. And launch my own ethical online business - easy hey?!

That's me in a nutshell. Next time I'll update on my career path so far :-)

“After attending a Careershifters workshop I had the energy and drive to start researching how to get into teaching. I applied for a course, had an interview, got a place and left my old job in less than a week. It was so easy when I finally decided to go for it.”
