My main task of the moment is finding work. A job. A living. I am confident I have options. I’m
just struggling to convince others. To date, I have already applied for
what seems like hundreds of jobs. Normal run-of-the-mill administration work.
Organising, coordinating. Administrating. In French, Russian, and/or Welsh.
And applications take up so much time. If you've been there, you know. If you've not been there, you really don't want to know.
Yet changing circumstances also mean change. The chance to widen out horizons. Try new options, opportunities, offers. Have
some fun imagining other paths.
So I've been offering myself in different spheres. I
applied to be an Assistant (Landscape) Gardener. Thus far, I’ve been
ignored. Of course, I have no experience. Beyond a long-time desire. And books galore on the subject. Not to mention years of
cultivating house plants. Which have now been eaten by my cats.
My application for the role of an Assistant Ranger has also been
ignored. That one hurt. I could really see
myself as an Assistant Ranger. Bouncing about the site in a jeep. And wellies. Performing Assistant Ranger duties with aplomb. Yellowstone Park-like. Outside. Drinking in the surroundings. Exorcising years of indoor office work.
I would truly like this to be a turning point. To finally get round to
concentrating on more creative tasks.
Tasks which have more meaning to me. And greater impact on others. To write,
take photos. To have more contact with people. I feel I’ve been locked away in
offices for too long. I want to breathe the sea air as part of my everyday
life. Not just in my spare time. I’m
hoping this will be my chance.
But as I’ve said before, selling is not my forte. Selling myself even
less so. I will need all the help and
encouragement I can get...
