Getting back to work

I knew that I had to find work because after a couple of years unemployed I was getting fed up going down to sign my name once a week and receive my unemployment check every two weeks.  Each meet I had to go down there to the unemployment I had to explain what I had done to help me get a job and even that was getting boring because it was basically the same bullshit each time.  It was very easy money though when you are unemployed but it was a hassle of going down there and sign your name.  It was different than the US.  I think the US was that you call up a number and push in a your client number or something and that was it.  So it was time to take control with my life.

So I looked at places where there were training courses and found one and did that for about 8 months or so. The training course was fun but there were some parts of the course that I couldn't get and the instructor was getting very frustrated and impatient with me. I started to cry and she asked why I was crying. It wasn't that she was getting frustrated that was upsetting me, it was the fact that I couldn't get a particular part of the course correct.

North West Training Services (that was their name) got me a job for photography assistant and I think that lasted for a few weeks. I then landed with a job at a homeless organization as an Administrative Assistant. It was perfect because the training involved with office skills. I even had the opportunity to take part to go on I believe it was Radio Foyle and discuss to the public my experience with North West Training.  It was really fun.
