Hi guys, I’ve always struggled to find work, not sure wether it’s because of my area being very industrialised (warehouses, factories etc) but i’ve only ever worked in those places and always through an agency. I want a change of pace, my dream job is a firefighter. i’m currently 21, soon to be 22. Applications in my area open up very rarely so i just want to find a new career instead of a warehouse. Any tips/advice to stand out on my CV? Or any tips on going into a new career entirely? thanks.
