The Workshop
Let’s face it.
Work can either be satisfying, fulfilling and fun or it can be a long, miserable, mind-numbing slog – it’s all a question of attitude.
What we want to do with this new series of articles is to help point Ham & High readers in the direction of the ‘satisfying, fulfilling and fun’ bit.
You might just be out of work right now, or you might be looking for a better job, or perhaps a completely new career in a brand new sector.
But whatever you are searching for in the work arena you need to be thinking about how you can work smarter to achieve your aims in 2007 and beyond.
And we can help.
Forties People has been campaigning for more than a decade on behalf of people who have faced discrimination in the jobs market – and at last things have started to improve. (It’s about time. The fact is that today over a third of the UK working population is aged 45 or over – and many of those older people who have lost jobs have struggled in the past to find new ones.)
We’ll discuss in more detail in a future column how the recently introduced Age Legislation Act could affect you. …..and we’re talking about people of ALL ages, not just older staff.
It’s fundamentally a good law and a positive step forward but it’s certainly not the end of age discrimination in the workplace. The Government will have to find ways of monitoring and policing this new Act because we know there are still large numbers of organisations out there who have still not woken up to this new dawn.
We believe that age is completely irrelevant, but whatever your ambition there are plenty of ‘Do’s’ and ‘Don’ts’ to be aware of along the road to finding a better job. We’ll help you with hints and tips on how to play the jobs market; how to present yourself in the best possible light at an interview; how to put together a meaningful CV…and much more.
Of course, as a well-known agency in London and Watford areas we deal with many companies looking for staff – and I will be keeping you up to date with all the latest news from the client side of the fence too.
The Workshop intends to be an interactive column; two way traffic.
We want to hear from you about your experiences, challenges, frustrations and triumphs in the hunt for a better way of life at work.
Have you been the victim of discrimination? Are you struggling to find the right job? Do you need some expert help?
