Like many countries, UK is currently going through a recession, and at the beginning of this year, a young lad I know very well lost his job.
It was a case of last in, first out, and he found himself at the Job Centre, where the staff were not particularly helpful.
Basically, you fill in a form and then go off and register on loads of job agency websites, apply for as many suitable jobs as you can in the hope you’ll eventually get an interview.
Like many people on line I have bought lots of courses for ALL sorts of things and am probably what’s known in UK as a Jack of all Trades – meaning I know a little about a lot.
One of the courses I was on was run by Alex Jeffreys, whom I’ve mentioned a few times on this blog, and I’ve interviewed him a couple of times. You can listen to them if you like over at www.JeanShawInterviews.com
Anyway, one of his most well known students is Dean Holland, who was, I think, on the same course as I was.
As a young child in the late 50′s, I used to enjoy Watch With Mother in black and white on our one and only home TV.
It was a combination of education and entertainment, and I watched, listened and learned.
Now, in 2011, when I’m in my late 50′s, I’ve enjoyed Learn With Sally in full colour on my computer, and again I’ve been educated and entertained.
I’ve once more watched, listened and learned.
