Im already in full time employment and wish to work part time as a self employed courier. I havent done this type of work before and also have never been self employed so im not sure wether it is worth it. I have phoned a company and im told that i would be paid 65p per parcel delivered, considering petrol costs and the fact that it doesnt matter how many times you try to deliver to someone, you only get paid once it is delivered and also whatever tax i need to pay myself, whats the average take home pay?

I’m a 33 year old male living in Scotland, I worked in IT for around 7 years supporting users, building systems and finding solutions to software requirements,

I got a job setting up a Document Management dept at a multinational company, I did everything they asked of me from sourcing hardware and software within budget, set up ISO procedures, meeting customers and securing large contracts, but when things started taking off I was pushed to the side in order for the MD's secretary to take the management role and reaped the rewards of large salary, car, laptop mobile etc.

I got really disillusioned with it all and eventually they asked me to resign.

To cut a long story short I took a manual job and done my back in pretty badly, so now I want to get back into IT but I don’t know where to start.

Any suggestions or is it too late.

Ok I am updating my resume to try to find another receptionist position somewhere (that pays more!) & for the Objective I am completely clueless on what I should write there that sounds professional enough. I want to include something about me being a very easy-going person who gets along w/ just about everyone & that I am willing to learn anything. Anyone have any suggestions on something I could insert?

Why is someone who questions authourity if they are in the right seen as dangerous?

Example Dell computers...

They sell based on a reputation or reliability

You should be employed as you know your stuff or as a trainee learning your stuff.

What use is it if the boss won't listen to you as considers you beneath them?

Its like a fool boss who refuses to listen to the cleaner saying not to mix industrial bleach and an acid based cleaner resutling in possible death from chlorine gas releasing.

Or how about the hundreds killed say when a boat gets sent out to see despite the engineer saying its not safe yet?

Like a disaster is good for business.

or how about Dell. If the techs & geeky wizz kids are not taken seriouly & the bosses expect yes men then you can get things like laptops catching fire which costs millions.


So then why not always employ those who point out faults & would complain about what was wrong with their last company providing they backed it up.

How young were you when you did? What gave you the courage to do so? Did you have doubts? I'm 37 without a college degree, and I really hate my job. I'm really burned out on customer service, I'm to the point of to tell everyone one of the people I help, "Kiss my @ss, and I don't care who you snitch to!" Sorry, but it's very early Monday morning and I have to go back to a job which I really loathe. Did anyone here change careers without a college degree? What did you do? How did you do it? I feel like I'm too old to change careers, but for my own mental health, I have to find other employment.

Why is a suit seen as smart and professional, neat trainers, neat combats & a short sleve shirt not?

Firstly in practical terms

Suits are useless in keeping you warm, cool, comfortable, allowing freedom of movement and agility.

The shoes risk injured ankles with no support or bounce and dangerously slippery no grip soles.

They are overly expensive and easily damaged, hard to wash requiring time and money in dry cleners.

Ties were invented to get in the way, land in food and machinery.

What reason have they to be seen as smart compared with other neat, ironed, clean clothes? let alone whats professional about them... Any tramp with no brains can be cleaned up and put in one.

Short sleeves are more practical and comfortable regulating bio temperature better. Therefore making you more productive.

Likewise combats are looser and have many leg pockets for items without getting in the way like a suit jacket making you too hot.

Easy to clean cutting costs,

When typing out long sentences or phrases in your resume, such as when describing yourself, objective, or your skills, should one use periods at the end of the sentences? Or is it considered a "faux pas" to do this?

I am 53 years of age. I have been doing voice and speech training for the last 25 years.
I believe my voice is very good now. I still have a mild european accent. I would like to try voice overs and audio books reading.
Where should I start? Is it O.K if I send an audio tape to an agent? How long my demo should be?
