Gissa Job???
|
Gissa Job??? Right I'm 57, a history of illness and disability stretching back many years, my heart is pretty dodgy, even though I've had a quad bypass I still suffer from unstable angina. I've recovered from cancer which struck back in the early 80's. Following an 'incident' whilst serving my second tour in NI my body is full of tiny shards of molten aluminium, with several larger pieces lodged in my spine which causes constant pain, though the level does vary from hour to hour and day to day. I smoke, wear glasses, have a shaved head, more than a few visible tattoos and wear an ear-ring.......so would you employ me? It's OK I know the answer lol, a few years back I was told by a delightful woman at the Jobcentre that as far as she was concerned I am unemployable in that if she passed my CV to ANY employer it would only get as far as the waste bin. Well she was WRONG!!! Last week I started work in a local Music Shop doing what I do best, talking and selling, I was fortunate that my now employer looked past all my shortcomings and saw me in what was evidently a favourable light. OK I was very lucky in that before offering me a job she had got to know J and I pretty well as we were frequent visitors and it seems she was on the lookout for someone that could talk, sell and knew a fair bit about music and musical instruments and I fitted the bill!! It's not exactly a high-flying career, nor is it highly paid but at least it gets me away from the house, meeting new people and enjoying life back in the real world. Yes it is a little hard dealing with the extra stress on my body but it's so worth it! So once again, much as what happened in my love-life, my overwhelming message to anyone that is in a similar position, never, ever give up because you truly do not know what is just around the corner  |
