First time poster.
Looking for some career advice. I am a serving police officer with 5 years’ experience. To be honest I hate it. I am trying to get out, my life is just not my own. I have applied for jobs but I don’t seem to be getting anywhere. I feel like I have no transferable skills to ‘bulk-up’ my CV and sell myself.
I left school and got a degree in health studies. All I had ever wanted to do was be a nurse but I found it extremely stressful and it played havoc on my health so I took the decision to leave and joined the police whilst I decided what to do.
I have found that I have a keen interest in continuous improvement and am about to do a green belt in six sigma (self-funded) in the hope this will help me change career. I also feel when I am looking for jobs I am not qualified for anything and have no experience. I am think of doing some more further education but don’t know what level to go for, HNC, HND or degree? Was also thinking of a post grad course in something in the business field. Has anyone ever done one of these with little or no experience in the field? It is also expensive and I don’t want to be throwing money away if it’s not going to be useful.
If anyone has any advice, or knows someone who could give advice, on how I become more employable and start out in this field I would appreciate the guidance very much.
