Don’t miss out before this closes. Top tips to candidates - when it asks you to describe how you meet the role, it’s looking for more then a paragraph. You need to look at the person spec and give authentic examples of how you demonstrate those skills and qualities. Otherwise you can’t ever be shortlisted, even if you currently do a similar job.

That's awesome! Transitioning from being an NSS student to landing an admin job is a significant achievement. Here are some interesting facts about NSS students who move into administrative roles: 1. Leadership Skills: NSS (National Service Scheme) students often develop strong leadership skills through their community service activities. These skills can be highly valuable in administrative positions where decision-making and team management are crucial. 2. Communication Abilities: NSS students typically enhance their communication skills by interacting with diverse groups of people during their service projects. Effective communication is a key trait for administrators to convey information clearly and maintain good relationships. 3. Problem-Solving Skills: NSS activities often involve addressing community needs and finding solutions. These problem-solving abilities can be directly applicable to administrative roles where handling challenges and making strategic decisions are common. 4. Time Management: NSS students learn to balance their academic commitments with service work, honing their time management skills. This skill is essential for administrators who need to juggle multiple tasks and prioritize effectively. 5. Networking Opportunities: NSS participation can provide students with valuable networking opportunities, which can be beneficial when seeking administrative positions. Building a strong network can open doors to job opportunities and professional growth. Overall, the experiences and skills gained as an NSS student can contribute significantly to success in an administrative job. It's a great example of how community service can shape individuals and their career paths.

Today’s Thursday tales is one from the archives: --- Dead Man’s Walk --- When I was applying for my first job fresh out of university, I discovered that my prospects were very limited, as a shy 21-year-old English Literature graduate … I must have applied for 100 jobs, and eventually found myself working for a private prison company. And so, I ended up spending my first day on the job, at the Old Bailey (London’s most infamous crown court), taking a tour of the prison cells. I was scared; very scared. And dressed in entirely the wrong outfit (think Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs), walking around very closely to the court supervisor. He made me walk through the famous “Dead Man’s Walk”, where the condemned took their last steps before being sent to the gallows. Supposedly the arches get smaller and smaller so that the “dead man” would be forced to focus on his one-way journey. Needless to say, this did not ease my fears! And what did I learn from all this? Thankfully, my job turned out to be based in a boring fluoro-lit office, where I would spend my days writing reports for the Home Office. I’ve come to think very fondly of my first two years of paid employment, in that unusual job. I believe that having a “first career”, before working in technology, has given me a different perspective. It’s so important to think about the people who will be using any new system, and what their working environment and daily routine involves. Work environments such as prisons and hospitals will never work in the same way that an office works, and technology needs to be massively adapted. This goes right from the type of devices (think rugged and mobile) to the login processes (such as thumbprints for shared devices) to the applications which are used (not your average Office 365). I’m curious to know about unusual jobs you have had, and what interesting lessons you learnt from them…

Positions of the elderly are not easily found. I have found that it is almost a test in futility to send a resume and get an interview invitation. Once they realize you are in mid 70s it is, "We'll be in touch." I understand that each company, business and enterprise need those with skills and energy to last for the long haul. It is indeed a fast paced and very technological world. When the suggestion is given to me to just work from home, remotely, I frown. Because I have done that up to and after my wife passed away. It places me right back into the solitude I am not wanting to live in day after day. I have even applied for teaching opportunities, but my degrees and credits are not acceptable because they are primarily ministry and theological in nature. I am indeed a part of a hidden group of experienced and knowledgeable folks, but it may be necessary to take a much lesser position at minimum wage. The best is to get another degree, and I have a few, but at an enormous tuition cost. Maybe seek a college or university that can give credit for the over 50 years of life experience, in addition to my Bachelors, Master and Doctoral degrees (including Paralegal).
