Help 17yr olds find their career - quick 10 min questionnaire

Recommended Posts

Is your job a good fit for you? Please tell us about it.


Share your personal experience and wisdom by completing a short questionnaire at


https://www.lovemyjob.org.uk


The info will be put together into "job profiles" (without surnames or addresses) to complement careers guidance, inspire discussion and hopefully further research at one or two of our local sixth forms (where my teens are).


We need about a hundred to get a good spread - so please help out.


All paid, legal employment is relevant, as long as it's right for you.


Thank you so much for looking, and do ask if you have any questions,

Yes thank you these are really good resources - NCS I know well, and thanks for Prospects.


There's still a need for first-person perspectives, why a job is a good fit for someone personally. We're trying to get a bit more "from the horse's mouth", to add to the mix. Schools do quite well getting speakers in, this is a way to give them a much wider range (albeit much more concise).


What or who made an impression on you as a young person Help-Ma-Boab?



(And apologies all for double-posting - I thought I'd deleted the former when editing.)

Serendipity. Trying a few things then realising I wanted a 9 to 5. No weekend and a fairly easy life. Became a careers adviser.

Thank you womanofdulwich - much appreciated :)


Help-Ma-Boab, you're absolutely right - but what we're after is insights from being in a job that's a good fit for you, for your qualities. It's a personal, honest account.


Please try it and see, and if not right for you, then ask someone you know who does feel that way.


Thanks again.
