Im after any good ways of describing what my tranferrable skills are, only i literally cant see straight. Unbelievably i had a tooth abcess 3 weeks ago which turned into another problem and i had emergency surgury and was very poorly. have just recovered and last night found a lump on others side of face-just had back tooth removed in the surgery with huge abcess attached ! I dont think they would believe me if i asked for an extension but its true unfortunately. Anyway im so tired i know my appliaction is not nearly as good as it would have been had i been well this week.
Im a commuity midwife and lactation consultANT. In the additional info box i need to demonstrate what my tranferrable skills are - Would appreciate any help as high on painkillers and just cannot think properly x ps not even sure i want to be a health visitor but id like to have the option of being offerred the opportunity.
