Hey Jennifer
Well I look at predominantly administrative-type roles, as that's where I've had the most working experience in and I also have done a diploma with Pitman Training in admin too. So it seems like I ought to stick to this really, otherwise my CV/work experience will look like I'm jumping into too many different sectors

(I've done charity work, catering and warehouse work, but sticking to admin as it doesn't look too good to an employer, and at my age (24 next year), to change or keep doing different roles).
The only issue is, a LOT of admin roles nowadays tend to mix heavy socialising with work

During my last role the radio was on, ALL. DAY. I don't understand how people can concentrate with music playing, and pretty loudly as well, 24/7. I find it so distracting!
I did try to cope by having time outside work yes, but I didn't get a lot of time to with the hours I was doing and the location I was at. When I stayed there I started to realise how miserable I'd gotten, pretty much every day, and how much I dreaded going in to work...I always felt far too overstimulated all the time, those people I was working with were like party animals!
I'm still looking for admin work, or indeed, at this stage, any work I can do, but will have to consider the environment more this time perhaps.
