Hello, I have just joined Horses Mouth and hope to gain some good advice. I am 43 years old and recently returned to UK after living abroad for 8 years. Am finding it difficult to find work, I think because I have been out of the system for so long. I am applying for Admin jobs and hardly ever get any response, presumably because there are so many applicants.
Would like to do some voluntary work to enhance my CV and have an interview at Citizens Advice Bureau to see if I can train to be an adviser. Will this improve my chances at getting a paid job?
Seeking any career advice or ideas, am getting quite down about it all.

I am very lucky to have found your website. Recently I wrote about a problem which I face very often.... There were 10 responses from 10 mentors. They have really explained to me and made me understand that I do not have any problem. Your services are wonderful and I am very much thankful to all of you.
I have been mentoring on HM for 18 months. I really enjoy it & hopefully I am helping other people. Recently I posted my my first 'request for a mentor'. I have been completely bowled over by the response. So many people taking their time & making the effort to offer constructive advice in a friendly polite manner. For me it completely validates the intent behind HM. It reminds me how many good, helpful people there are out there. Thanks for providing such a great service.
