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,



Lorna Mills

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.

    • Well worth signing up to become a "supporter" as they send their updates and often shed light on things the council and their supporters would rather didn't get too much attention! https://www.onedulwich.uk/get-involved
    • Spot on...and they rant against "anonymous" groups like One Dulwich and then post missives from "anonymous" lobby groups like Clean Air Dulwich without any sense of hypocrisy or irony...
    • The original council proposals for the area around the Dulwich cross roads were made well before Covid - and were rejected then by locals. The council used the Covid legislation to push through the LTNs when opposition was not allowed. LTNs, as experiments were some good (reduced traffic in areas which did not push traffic elsewhere and which did meet the needs of residents - typically in places very well served by public transport and where the topology (absence e.g. of hills) allowed wide use of cycling and walking - not as it happens a good description of the Dulwich (inc ED, WD and ND) areas.)  Dulwich never met Southwark's own description of ideal LTN areas, but did happen to match Southwark Councillor ambitions dating way back. One Dulwich has been clear, I believe that it is anti this LTN but not, necessarily all LTNs per se. But as it is One Dulwich is has not stated views about LTNs in general. In the main those prepared to make a view known, in Dulwich, have not supported the Council's LTN ambitions locally - whilst some, living in the LTN area, have gained personal benefit. But it would appear not even a majority of those living in the LTN area have supported the LTN. And certainly not those living immediately outside the area where traffic has worsened. As a resident of Underhill, a remaining access route to the South Circular, I can confirm that I am suffering increased traffic and blockages in rush hours whilst living some way away from the LTN. All this - 'I want to name the guilty parties' -' is One Dulwich a secret fascists cabal whose only interest is being anti-Labour?' conspiracy theorising is frankly irrelevant - whoever they are they seem to represent feelings of a majority of actual residents either in the LTNs, or in parts of Dulwich impacted by the LTNs. And I'm beginning to find these 'Answer me this...' tirades frankly irritating.
