Friendly , Practical , Caring

Female , 26

Hi, I'm 25, I have a long term boyfriend, I live at home with my parents and I have a brother but we lost him in an car accident. I currently work full time and have been since leaving college in 2001. I got 8 GCSE's at school, but was never very academic. I went to college for a year to study Animal care because when I was growing up I wanted to be a vet nurse, but then decided not to go down this route. Since then I never really knew what I wanted to do career wise and then I saw a job advert for an administration apprentice, the job sounded interesting so I applied and got the job and since then have had better jobs. I like to keep my options open and develop as a person, I have recently completed a Certificate in Management and I am now thinking about studying a Business Studies/Marketing course. I also have a part time job training as a swimming teacher which is completely different to my day job. I've also travelled around Australia for 6 weeks which was great.

Apprenticeships

I have been an apprentice myself and undertook a level 2 and advanced level 3 in Business Admin. I benefited out of doing this, got paid full time and built up my confidence, experience and knowledge. I want to share my positive experience and advise those doing an apprenticeship or those that aren't sure if apprenticeships are for them.

Life Experiences

I have had good and bad experiences through life, the major one being loosing my brother which I find hard and have to deal with everyday. I have very supportive parents and they always help me.

I wanted to join Horsesmouth because the organisation I work for, wanted to nominate some people to be mentors, and I thought it was a really good idea. I never had any career mentoring from professionals in life and I attend lots of career events and I think, I wish I had that when I was at school etc, so here I am trying to advise and support people on something I never had.
