Hello
I'm 40 and have been self-employed for over 18 years, partly due to having undiagnosed ADHD. I have this under control now and do well, but I need a career change. The desired career I wanted to go into is extremely competitive with no guarantee of a job even if I pass everything required.
I am thinking I need a Plan B. I have looked into being a H&S officer/advisor. I saw an advert yesterday for the NEBOSH course via the Career Uswitch website, which basically said you are guaranteed a job afterwards as they have multiple partners and their success rate is 95%. All sound wonderful BUT I need to know more about what is required for this career.
I am good with people so have a lot of the 'soft skills' I keep hearing about. I also can get people on side quickly and reason with them. I am quite observant and particular with details. My weaknesses are I don't want to see the same faces every day and would need variety. Also don't enjoy being micromanaged so need some level of anatomy.
The people at Iswitch are quite pushy and keep saying they have limited spaces but don't want to make any hasty decisions.
Would love to hear from people in this industry and your thoughts on that is needed/required.
