So after a lot of thinking and pondering, even up to an hour before I was due to see the Course Tutor, I have decided NOT to go ahead with the Accounts course at Derwentside College. When I was looking at extra training back in late August it was to be a Dispenser course, but you have to be in the job to be on course, so that was a no go. Next up was Customer Service and a Level 2 qualification but that turned out to be (as I advised last Friday) not to be of benefit to me due to my experience in jobs so far. To do the Level 3 one, again I would have to be in the job to be on the course. So I looked to the above and I believed it would help me secure work with that extra accounts experience. However, the likelihood would be that I would stop doing the course (even at nights) if a job comes up and the Year long commitment would be broken as I really am prioritising being back in work and that isnt fair really to the Course Tutor. Also the course on the whole would not really be, to me, a course that revolves around those customer service skills I so like to go on about. The other thought in my head is what my last Interviewer said re: my customer service experience. I also do have decent skills with numbers and organising anyway and need to just bring this forward more in my applications and use to show knowledge that I likely have anyway (the recent college group exercise on the retail course was a blip as I was bad on that, sorry Lisa, Mandy & team). A little more selling of this knowledge I already have is what is needed. When I am back in work and I really do believe I am so so close to that, then the training can begin in earnest within the job I would be doing. I have had to put this down like this to just get it out as yesterday was an awful day which ended up being so so low as I was doubting then feeling okay then doubting my decision. A day later, I am feeling I have made the right decision. So ever forward and a job hopefully soon and then maybe I may get the courage to do that one other important more personal thing that is on my mind at the moment and also eating away at me in quite a big way. With good news comes positivity and confidence and that latter is what is needed to sort this particular thing, what life is about and especially me when you get to my core. Okay enough rambling on.... xx
