Question: How did you find what career you liked when you were at school because I don't think I have heard of any of your jobs before?

I have experienced job titles which are very specific and others where the job the person is doing and their job title are really quite different! The business I work in we have quality engineers, and you might be put off applying for these roles if you didn’t study engineering, just from looking at the job title – but the role they do is nothing to do with engineering and none of them hold a qualification in engineering! When you are ready to start looking for a job, look at the skills required – problem solving, good with mathematics or report writing, with attention to detail. Do you want to be doing something physical or more desk bound, want to work indoors or outside. And grab any opportunity that lets you visit businesses as a open day or work experience as these will really help you decide what you do like and don’t like. Sometimes it is about finding the things you like to do, which is usually hidden in the job role description, rather than getting too stuck on specific job titles.
