Careers

You —

Salaam

I will very soon need to find a new job.

I want out of sales.

The only other things I have done are dead end. (security was rilliant, but its a dead end.. and warehouses are also the same)

I am a lazy person as most of you know. So I will try to get you to think of decent careers for me! :twisted:

So call this suggest admin a job topic.

And no I will never go into teaching. (I like explaining things once, and only once. I do not want to be in the dock for strangling someone...)

so.. erm... please?

Look atmy face >>> 😛

how can you say no to that?

Have you thought about retail management?

It increasingly seems to be becoming the young Asian's career of choice.

from experience i can tell you dont go into the mobile phone game its dead and too much competition

if you got lots of money invest , you cant go wrong with properties and restaurants/ take aways

look at your qaulifications and see what best suits you or take the career test.

You — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 - 19:00

MuslimSisLilSis — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 - 19:08

Cabbing :twisted:

btw lazy ppl with no ambition dont get very far in life

You — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 - 19:16

They end up bitter in their later lives. :twisted:

is that cos u get ur kicks outta travelling on unreliable, slow, cold public transport where u witness on a daily basis people making fools outta themselves and causing trouble in public?

also do you LIKE carrying heavy bags of shopping?

You — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 - 19:28

I do not mind carrying heavy nags of shopping. unless its raining.

Not many people casue trouble on public transport.

besides just seeing people going about thir lives doing random things can be strangely amusing.

ayesha d — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 - 20:19

yep! that's so true,i alwayz find myself laughing at other ppl bcoz there are some very strange ppl in the world innit??

khan — Thu, 30 Mar 2006 - 13:22

tell u what id like to do if i ever changed careers,
electronics and home/commercial security.

do a bit of work experience, learn the essentials of circuitry and stuff, and then start up ur own business.

there always gna be a market for home and commercial security as there always gonna be burglers, pessimistic.. nah realistic imo.

knowing how to put together cctv, pinhole camera's, eletronic grilled gates, security systems, showers, wireless networking, putting up plasma's, even in car entertainment and security.

its not just a stand around, sit in one place sorta job as well, as u'll get different clients with each job, and can be phyisical and fun as well. keeps u upto date with technology..

u charge for ur time, and u make a bit on top of supplying wholesale goods. guaranteed earner. 8)

Admin, you need to know your skills and intrests...its important to work somewhere that you actually enjoy...esp since you'll be spending 90% of your time in work for the rest of your life.

I could never ask another what they think I should be doing...only I know my strengths and weakness's.

madiha — Thu, 30 Mar 2006 - 22:32

i haven't got a clue, go to a careers advisor
i haven't even got my life sorted out yet, im just doing my gcse's this may, so im really not the one to be giving careers advice
but cabbing is good. how about an office job? get into some training.

what kind of stuff do u like to do?

u can be a typical asian and work in a restaurant...

Beast — Thu, 30 Mar 2006 - 23:07

News of the World will be looking for a new undercover reporter soon Admin.

Maybe you could fill that vaccancy.

You — Thu, 30 Mar 2006 - 23:13

I like the thinking by Khan.

The thing is I have never to my knowledge known what I really want to do.

lol @ Beast. I think I better apply.

I want to do something technical in some way. No idea what thing and technical in what way though...

You — Fri, 31 Mar 2006 - 05:10

your careers do seem more 'girly'.

Probably coz you're female.

and an extrovert? That is surprising.

iRazor — Fri, 31 Mar 2006 - 14:13

What in the world do the following terms mean?:

Extroversion, Altruism, Inquisitiveness

LOL, Beast a counsellor

In the quiz, many questions were repetitive, which is stupid

Also, they asked whether u want to do certain proffesions, which i didnt even understand what they mean?

*DUST* — Fri, 31 Mar 2006 - 18:21

[quote="Admin"]your careers do seem more 'girly'.

Probably coz you're female.[/quote]yea but they're totally inaccurate, i mean i would never consider doing half those things. the only thing mentioned which i had considered was veterinary.

[quote="Admin"]and an extrovert? That is surprising.[/quote]why?

*DUST* — Fri, 31 Mar 2006 - 18:24

[quote="razor"]What in the world do the following terms mean?:

being an extrovert means being outgoing, getting along with random people.
altruism refers to selflessness, being ready to help people.
inquisitiveness is an eagerness to question things.
check out dictionary.com if that doesnt make sense.
