These are for more wilder career paths though that I use to dream on.<br /><br />Other good sites are Career Shifters as they have articles on making changes. You can also Google, how to do what you love, career decisions, changing career advice etc.<br /><br />If you're not sure about CV writing and presenting yourself, or if you're thinking of going freelance then there's my own website www.career-pioneers.com <br />Urban Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11357082153916573988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-63903729367525545002012-11-22T23:26:17.931+00:002012-11-22T23:26:17.931+00:00Hello, it's good to let everything out every s...Hello, it's good to let everything out every so often, I do it on my blog every now and then. I find emptying my mind cathartic.<br />I like the quote 'a bad day does not a bad life make' ;-) <br />I've lost my motivation a bit regarding my fitness of late too. I feel bad about it but my tiredness levels really don't help.<br />I set up and chair a committee for a small charity earlier this year. It's bloody hard fitting it in, I'm often doing my charity admin at 2am . But I LOVE it. I am finally passionate about something (other than my family, oh and travel...I'm passionate about travel, I just can't afford to haha). <br />I know your post wasn't for compliments but I think you always look lovely in your photo's, I always enjoy your writing and I think your achievements are huge !<br />Hope you're feeling a bit brighter.<br />Take care, Jo xxJohttp://thoughtsfromthekitchensink.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-57759400224926706052012-11-22T17:17:04.587+00:002012-11-22T17:17:04.587+00:00Caz, Barbara and White Space ... thank you so much...Caz, Barbara and White Space ... thank you so much for your comments.This is why I love blogging. I know that I can not only spill my heart onto the screen, but that my friends from through the ether will find me and make me feel better. You know that sometimes I need sympathy, other times I need to be given a kick up the backside.You are another layer to my life and I value what you have to say very much.<br />I feel better today and my son, as is his wont, acts as if nothing happened. He did apologise.<br />Do you recommend any career websites WS ? Its not something I know about ...<br />And I am going for a run ... at some point this week...<br />Well, 2 out of 3's not bad!!<br />Sarah<br />xxxsarah at secret housewifehttp://secretworldofahousewife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-50716416975272534762012-11-22T12:26:31.187+00:002012-11-22T12:26:31.187+00:00Mate! You poor thing. I'm sure you're feel...Mate! You poor thing. I'm sure you're feeling better this morning but the thing with having a blurt out of all these emotions is that somewhere you actually mean them. <br /><br />I am in exactly the same boat size-wise. I'm lazy as hell so know it's my own fault. I should and could do something about it but I don't. It's much harder to keep the blubber at bay as we get older and we know hard work is the only answer - but it's such hard work dammit!<br /><br />Things will be ok with your son - the things I used to say to my Mum when I was 14... (shudders)in fact you should get your head round the fact that it will probably get much worse as he's only 14! <br /><br />Career-wise you're in a good position; you have a degree, experience and common sense. Go to career websites and read how to decide on what you'd like to do. Think about aspects you like about your current and past jobs and what you didn't. Think about what you're good at, what tasks you particularly love being given, what tasks people choose you over overs to do, and your motivation for working - the reason you do what you do.<br /><br />We're only human Sarah. Keep on truckin'!xUrban Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11357082153916573988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-44483796907884395402012-11-22T08:57:20.189+00:002012-11-22T08:57:20.189+00:00I, too, am a positive person going through a negat...I, too, am a positive person going through a negative phase. <br />We are both clearly dissatisfied with the course of our lives at the moment and need to sort ourselves out but we have a strong sense of commitment to others which places our own needs at the bottom of the ever-expanding list. <br />Personally, I haven't the energy to do much about it at the moment. <br />B.Barbarahttp://www.fabafterfifty.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-13195301809829341612012-11-22T01:09:02.746+00:002012-11-22T01:09:02.746+00:00Hopefully after you've had a good night's ...Hopefully after you've had a good night's sleep all will be better in the morning. I only know you, Sarah, through your blog and I've come to know that you are more positive than negative and also someone who loves a challenge. Everyone gets down every now and then and once you've made amends with your son, you'll be back on track. Most days I feel fat and frumpy but I've decided to put my health first. I'm back at the gym and after only a week, I feel so much better about myself. You're a first class honours graduate; you've run a marathon; you're an inspirational blogger/writer and from what I can tell by your profile pic, you're pretty damn hot - nothing can stop you, Sarah. Now, have a good night's sleep and go get 'em! xxxCazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753476927607441162noreply@blogger.com
