I need a Job.....................

[Beetrootfultoyourself]

As some of yo know, I work in the theatre. Since leaving LOndon things have not been easy. My job does not exsist outside LOndon. I have done a few jobs up there but it does mean being away from the family for 8/10 weeks.

I trained as a Drama Teacher but have never taught. I am thinking that perhaps I need to start thinking about teaching. Even just doing some supply.

I need a job for my sanity.
I could do with the money.

I am not sure what else I coudl do.....and I am feeling rather shite and bored.

help???? Any Ideas????

bundle works in radio, could she advise?

i would love to work full time in a theatre. but i dont really know what I woudl do out of London.

career change is an option..but what???

if theatre and drama is what you love to do, then it would be a terrible shame to leave it

I have always loved the idea of radfion too sobernow, apperntly I have a good voice..(or was it face ) for radio

ok sobernow I will. I do voluntary work in Bath..once a week.

donkey I love it but it is so difficult to make it work. If I was inLondon I would be full time employed but it is not the same down here.

I have taken my photography semi seriously.

|I could train in some sort of counselling

yes, I was thinking of your voluntary work, counselling could be a sort of supplementary career ...

yes donkey...it would help...I am very interested in NLP.

sobernwo, where do you do that???

re training means more time without a job and more money spent thougth

or the local paper.

Trouble is, i might just end up thinking they are a load of wingers...like i do in my vouluntary work

CBT might be good - the govt is investing heavily in it so I hear

beety, changed my name for this because If I post this under my usual name I will "out" myself and like my anonymity.

I'd out myself because I'm going to retrain for something very specialised - completely different field to my previous career but does have some vague links with my degree (studied many moons ago).

I'm not suggesting you should go for this, but am suggesting you look at all possibilities, however off thw wall they may seem.

I'm going to do an MA in Conservation at one of the big Art Colleges in London.

After that, I hope to get a place at either the Courtauld Institute or V&A Academy of Arts to qualify as a conservator in the field of paintings or possibly frescoes.

I really would not have though it possible to make such a change, but dh encouraged me to widen my perspective. I'm really excited.

What about working on the Cheltenham Festival?

How about working in a prison? Johnny Vaughan for eg got into what he does by doing prison panto! (dh was a mate of his when he was a naughty boy)

fantastic vvexcited! good luck with your course

ooh just thought I met someone recently who runs a theatre in Bath. Wonder if I still have his no? He may have good contacts

flashingnose, what woudl I do there?

VVEX, that does sound a wonderful shange to make. I cannot think of anything that I feelmore excited about than theatre at the moment though...

directing a play in a prison would be fun...maybe I should wirte to HMP?

countess, yes pelase
