DO AN INTERNSHIP.
Although not for everyone doing, an internship can be a
great way of learning new skills and changing career fields. Don’t be put off
by age, no all interns are school leavers or graduates, many companies will
appreciate experience.
Don’t allow yourself to become slave labour, of course, but
do get the most training out of it that you can. Also, spend your time
networking with people in the office.
Have a look at the Government’s Graduate Talent Pool website
for opportunities, or think about contacting companies directly to see if they
have opportunities.
It might seem unproductive, or even a step backwards if
you’ve been in employment for some time, but it could be the crucial step to
getting paid employment – it’s a foot in the door!
