I am most certainly at my tether. I am a recent graduate who is currently under redundancy because the company that I am working for is out-sourcing. And I am very much lost and I am unsure of what type of career/path to pursue. I have only just come from yet another job interview to only be rejected once more. I am applying for jobs whereby I am able to mould my current status around in order to satisfy their criteria, only to sit back and ask myself, is this really what I want? And if not what do I want to do. I do believe that there is a reason for my existence and that there is a role out there for me but an arrested development has made it virtually impossible for me to focus on me without it revolving around what other people expect of me.
I am writing this today because I really do need help.
RE: My Path
Hi
This will not really help you but I thought that I just say that I understand how you feel.
I am also being made redundant and the work that I am doing is not what I really want to do but I have to do it at the moment as it pays the bills.
The most awful thing is I have been in my career for 13 years and I have realised I am in the wrong job. Rather than regret this I have taken some time out and to do some soul searching in what I would like to do.
Have you though of getting yourself a life coach? I had one about a year ago and I think they are really good. The one that I had would not give me direct advice he made me come up with my own answers to my questions.
I wanted him to answer my questions and tell me what to do and he refused and turned the question back round on me!!! Very good.
I am sorry that I cant really help but just to say understand where you are coming from. I feel like I am the only one that does not know where I want to be so I know how frustrated and unhappy you must be.
Take care and good luck
Susan
RE: My Path
Thank you for your reply.
Yes most certainly a life coach is a possibility.
How would I get in touch - through yellow pages!
Or does any know of any in the Nottingham area that they can recommend?
