Working in the Funeral Trade
When I was fifteen I was offered my first job. It wasn't necessarily a job I had been seeking or studying towards, but it was an opportunity to earn some extra cash, and help me get off my arse each morning after I finished school. Exactly what every teenage kid needs when they're offered six weeks of immortality; a reason to wake up each morning.

The Funeral Trade - Q & A
I've seen tonnes of horror films. Would I be suited for a job as an undertaker? You'd be surprised at just how many CV's are laughed at because of this. And whilst you may think being a horror fanatic is a good thing when searching for a job in the funeral trade, it really does NOT assist you in the selection process. Trust me. Having a keen interest in the horror genre literally has NOTHING to do with the funeral trade, so keep that off your credentials.

Tamp This! Pros + Cons of Living the Life of a Coffee Wizard
As a former barista, I can say that I have learned a lot about people in general. There’s a lot of people-watching, unpleasant interactions, and every now and then, surprising friendships. I’ve learned to take the good with the bad and have lots of ridiculous stories, but here are just a few problems I’ve encountered being a coffee wizard:

Dear Customers, You Suck
Dear Customers, You truly suck the life out of the workers at the grocery store, market, or whatever else you call one of the hugest parts of the service industry. You may think "I'm always nice, it's the employee causing the problem." But the truth is if you've ever complained, we remember you. If you've ever gone to one of the departmental service counters and gotten a dozen little scoops or pieces or samples of whatever it is, we make note of you. So many people when they are shopping have to put items back... If we figure out it was you... we'll remember. If you ask us to make or bring out fresh of anything just because you're being picky, then only get a small amount... WE REMEMBER IT. Yes, we also remember the nice ones and the ones who talk too much and the ones who make it impossible to get caught up.

Hitting the Target
You might see us pushing wheelchairs, walking with clients through your local YMCA or community centre. Sometimes you don't see us at all. We are always behind the scenes and rarely thought about when it comes to mental health.

So Why Don't You Make One?
As a bit of a film and television critic, one could rightfully, some might think, ask if I could do any better. After all, making a film is not easy. As the saying goes, if it was, everyone would do it. Maybe that's true. But as technology has advanced and many professions that were the preserve of the few, become accessible to all, increasing numbers of people are doing exactly that; making films.

Earning My Writer's Stripes
It isn't what I thought it would be. It is so much more. I wrote proposals for 20 years. Automatically—amost robotically. By the time I stopped, I could practically write one in my sleep.

The Routine Job Type
It’s very easy to get very overwhelmed when you are a cashier. The environment in which you work is often the same and the people you come in contact with on a daily basis are almost always the same as well. It’s very easy to get caught up in the motions and stuck in routine while on the job day in and day out. Which makes it easier to get caught up in where you once were in life, how you got to where you are and also places a very heavy focus on where you would like to be. The impact that the environment, the people, customers, and co-workers that you work around all have a very strong impact on your mood while you’re on the job.

What is so special about all the museum exhibitions you remember seeing as a kid?
