Having been a fan of detective and courtroom dramas on TV, I was keen to learn more and had an ambition to become a lawyer. After my GCSEs, I didn`t know which way to turn but I suppose I really wanted to find out if I was suited to this profession.
To begin with, I left school after my GCSEs to look for work in a law firm. I put my CVtogether, made lots of copies and posted them to as many law firms as I could find. I knew that all I could do was basic office duties, such as what an office junior or a runner would do, but at least I would be getting experience and finding out if I liked this working environment. I managed to get an interview and was accepted as an office junior at a law firm only a 15-minute bus ride from my home.
Ilovedit. I was seeing for real how cases were being solved, how evidence was gathered… the whole process. I learnt it was very hard work but the rewards were worth it. I could see that this job offered me all the traditional job requirements: job satisfaction, career possibilities, good working conditions and stability. This assured me that I wanted to go into this profession.
I went back to school to do my “A” Levels. I was still able to keep a relationship with the law firm that I had been working for. They were encouraging me to study and they also offered me work during my school holiday. I completed my “A” Levels, went on to university and got my degree in law.
Now I am a successful lawyer in the same firm I worked for at 16 years old. I was lucky to know at an early age what I wanted as a career. It is only through experience that you find out what you really enjoyed and are able to do well.

Ialwayswantedtowork. I had dreams of earning my own money and I had ambitions. So after my GCSEs I left school. I didn`t think about a higher education. All I wanted was to go out into the world, feel independent and start working.
One of the valuable lessons I learned at school was how to write a CV. I dug up some examples from my old text books and compiled my CV. I must have given out about 20 copies to local supermarkets, coffee shops, offices, restaurants, bars, building companies, garden centers and clothing shops.
After two weeks of waiting, I got a positive reply and so my first job was filing documents as an office junior. I had to sort all of their files and keep them in alphabetical order. OK, so I learnt the alphabet and lots of new names, but after two weeks, I was starting to get headaches. And I was not getting any job satisfaction.
Next I got a part-time job in a coffee shop. I used to come home with burnt fingers nearly every day! Then I stocked the shelves with food products in a supermarket. My working hours were 10.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m. That didn`t last long. I must have had ten jobs in one year but I didn`t fit in. I had fun but that was about all. I needed some help… or some direction. I spoke to my parents and they asked me to think about what I wanted from a job. We decided to write down a list of jobs I thought might be most suitable for me and see which best fit the traditional requirements: job satisfaction, good working conditions, stability and career possibilities. Then I rewrote my CV with all my experience and started looking for a job again. Three weeks passed and nothing came up. This was hard on me.
Then my dad offered me a job to help him out at his bakery. He was getting very busy and needed some extra help. When I started out, I was the night baker. I had to get there by 4 a.m. I learnt quickly about the different types of bread and cakes. I got used to the hours and I realized I was enjoying the job. I was producing food for our local community, meeting new people, making friends and feeling useful. Now that`s job satisfaction!
I am now the manager of our shop, so my dad is able to rest a bit. I feel proud to be continuing in the family business. Just think that this bakery was started by my great-grandfather and it`s been selling bread in our town for over 100 years!

As you can see, it took me a while to find and understand what I really wanted for a career. For some people, choosing a career is the easiest choice they ever make. My sister knew that she wanted to be a dancer at the age of six.
