I am not sure how I feel about being placed into a government program to obtain a Certificate II in Business. It appears to consist of basic customer service and word processing - both of which one would hope I had the hang of by now considering I have been working for twenty years - and then entrance into an apprenticeship or traineeship?
Ladies at the last permanent job I worked at used to come to me for assistance when they got stuck taking their Certificate IV.
Still ... it will be something for me to do during the day - which is a good thing because I go nuts sitting about at home. 9 till 3 Monday to Thursday.
Should I try and become an hairdresser?
The last hairdresser said I had no talent for it when I went in for a tidy up after chopping off my split ends one frustrated evening when they kept knotting up when I was brushing my hair.
I can't help but think I am taking the place of somebody more deserving and who would appreciate it more. I worry I shall be disruptive in class. The lady at the last place of work who was training us banned me from answering anymore questions. I was the 'Martin' of the group.
Hey Maddie, just apply for recognition of prior learning for everything and spend the next how ever months at home reading. Noice.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned that I already rated advanced at word processing and she responded with "Well you'll find it very easy then". I don't think they do recognition of prior learning.
ReplyDeleteI can see it now ... my next four weeks will be spent arsekissing the instructor and helping other students.
The lady placed 15 of the 16/17 of the last group into work after the course - so I shall do my best to get on her good side.
