New type of job ideas please
Hi all,
I'm looking for a new job, but really can't decide what to look at Confused

I'm 48 years young, relatively fit and active,
Hold a car driving licence
Held two different fork lift licences in the past,
A1 assessors certificate
Trainers certificate
Currently a Customer service trainer for a Major train company
Mechanically minded, ability to tig and mig weld
Worked in a stores and dispatch environment
Worked for Aston Martin in an after sales / service advisor
Like being busy and a challenge

DONT like purely office based jobs


I'm not advertising for a job offer on here, just looking for a direction

Thanks for any pointers in advance

Richy

Hello,

48 isn't such a bad age, at the current retirement age you have 20 years before you hang up your tools. That gives you plenty of time re-train and still get a decent career from it. To get some ideas try doing an online personality test. That'll give you a personality type and some (can't find the link at the moment but I'll look later and post it up) give you jobs and careers that your personality are suited to. You might not like all of them but it is a list and many of them won't be thing you've thought about before.

I'm 48 and gave up printing last Christmas, the career I've done since school. I was on the road to becoming a miserable sod (and probably an early death of I kept that level of drinking up) so got out and I feel 100 times better for it. While I retrain I have a part time job delivering flowers which is good fun and a breath of fresh air to work with a different type of person. I'm optimistic about the future, for the first time in many years.

Good luck,
Andy.
