Hello, Owing to turning 30 this year, some new year soul searching, and generally feeling pretty unhappy at work for a while, I’ve decided I hate my job, want to pack it all in and do something new. The question is what? Owing to a complete lack of imagination on the job front, I thought a career counsel...

I’ve managed to get a part time job in a clinic that makes overpriced hearing aids, I had an interview yesterday to be a healthcare assistant but i am not over confident about that. (I find out later today). If I am not successful, does anyone have a job- full time, that I could do? I am good at computers, ...

Like, for example, I’m a damn good writer (not here, I don’t give a shit about unpaid-for grammar or content). I’m also an excellent web writer. But it’s expected that I now want to be a project manager/ editor,blah blah. BOLLOCKS. I’m good at what I do cos I’m good at it. I...

A bit like the ‘most tedious job in London’ thread, but a job that you’ve had. Tedious, bizarre, dangerous, menial, filthy, pointless, illegal, OK maybe not that one. I think mine was in a light bulb factory in Wimbledon. I had to check that newly-made light bulbs worked when they briefly passed ov...

The Devil is looking to expand his client portfolio and, with nearly a decade of designing and writing behind me, I reckon that businesses in London could benefit from working with someone as utterly reasonable – commercially and personally – as myself. I can design logos and stationery, flyers and brochures, pos...

I think this was posted a few months ago, but only saw a couple of replies and I’m getting really, really desperate. Have been in my current job for years, while I love some aspects of it am beginning to feel as if I’m in a spin-off from the film Brazil, I am in a world where I keep spotting bureaucra...

I need to wring as much cash as possible out of our fair and apparently 24 hour city. Any ideas on jobs that can be done outside normal working hours? Not bars unless in my time away from them they have started paying more than minimum wage and necessitating a minor alcohol and sanity problem. Also I’m trying...

I’m after a good headhunter who specialises in the creative field, so not your Reed Employment-type of place. Are White Door still going? How about Kendall Tarrant? I’m ready for all their bullshit, I just don’t have their names. Thank you.

I’m not a real writer because I work in advertising which doesn’t count because it only provokes people into thinking about something inconsequential for a moment or two, and it only pays tiny little fortunes and it isn’t lonely. But most people here are proper writers, or so it seems. But are the...

Not the rather fab song by theymightbegiants (they never actually were, were they) but a real question about money. I am recently back from living abroad and every time I contemplate going to an agency or returning to office work, I get a kind of nasty cold shiver and my stomach clenches. So my master plan ...

I need to look into finding a temp administrator (could be temp-to-perm depending on the applicant) to do all the usual office manager/administrator stuff for some graphic designers. I’m probably going to look to normal temp agencies, but a firm that specifically deals with graphic design might be a bonus, as...

I have a job. This job is not going too badly. This job is in Ockham, in Surrey. In fact, the office sits between the villages of Ockham and West Horsley, a billion miles from civilisation and I am thus forced to drive there. Cars are expensive and so is petrol, and so I am considering moving from Brixton to some...
