Weaknesses - Confidence, Motivation, Direction (what the F*** am I doing for example?)
Opportunities - Submitting work to galleries, making links through markets, talking to staff in shops that sell stuff similar to what I do (networking), research (LRC, internet, Magazines).
Threats - competition, confidence (what is my stuff worth?), occupational health (health and safety in the workplace), ideas going walkabout and someone else getting there first.
All jobs Ive done so far:
peeling spuds,
waxing and restoring antiques,
burger bar,
waxing new furniture,
burgerking,
cleaning student houses,
barmaid,
office administrator,
shop stock worker,
Marina office worker,
front of house,
outdoor education assistant,
volunteer worker in youth work,
youth worker,
Jobs I would like to do;
Part time artist
group co-ordinator/ therapist in art/ play/ creative healing
beach bum,
explorer and travel writer
working in a marina in a warm country
crewing a yacht
Brief summary Im not sure what I want to do next as my youth work job made me a jack of all trades but a master of none. Ive just started getting replies from job applications Ive submitted but whatever I get needs to fit around college so there are some limitations in what I can apply for as a result of this.
The above lists show what Ive done is quite close to the life Ive imagined for myself. Not the burger king work or any of the other cleaning jobs but Ive generally stuck close to work in the maritime trades and when I moved into working with young people I got a job doing that. So now to find a job that is similar to what I believe a beach bum is!!
