my job hunting..

[pocahontas]

Same here friend, although I got another job that soon to start, I'm still hoping I can find the job that I will really enjoy. But I know it's not that easy in Britain.
There are some factories here but all seafood factories and they all seasonal because only few fishing boat during winter. You can work 6-10 months in a year but will not make you permanent. So if you are not picky, there's always job here. I am not picky but I don't want to work standing the rest of my life.
I grabbed the opportunity to study during my recovery days. I hope this will help me find better job someday.
Studying ECDL here, but really hard as it's fast tract and I feel the pressure.
Also studying in another training school in Edinburgh about Dreamweaver 8 Web Design, I love it and no pressure and soon I will have my Carer training.
Very interesting 3 courses, and hoping to inherit some intelligency about computer from Joeblogs, Somebody and the boss Keith.

no one can stop you mam..as somebody say...i salute you having manage to get 3courses. apply ako sayo ha in your future business carer... when you have dreams it really drive you there. and i want all the best to you friend.. stay dreamer as you are.. BTW nice pic san to? what you doing this moment and though to take pictures? how boutmore??

Penny again any employer would look at your CV seeing you are willing to work hard and study hard. That you also have a broad range skills,experience and qualfications

Sounds as if you are gaining some very useful skills and qualfications Your doing all three courses at once maam Blimey that really shows dedication

Thanks Somebody! I started my ECDL course 5 weeks ago and it is hard. As a matter of fact, I failed my preliminary exam. The exam has 6 categories. Using application, Document creation, Formatting etc. But I got only 70% because the time runs out and I had no answer with the last two categories. The office said it might be the language barrier that's why I got failing grade because I was too slow. But my teacher said, I might just need practice because Office 2007 is different from what I've leaned. (1997,2003) But in my opinion, I tried to understand well the question before I put my answer, and I'm always lost in finding all the function tabs that I need to click. It takes ages for me to locate the exact location of the functions. It's hard because it's fastract and teacher will not teach you the whole functions. So I study hard the CD about ECDL.

I enrolled my Dreamweaver in a private Training school in Edinburgh. It is great because we have 3 teachers in the room and you can ask everything you want to know if you are stuck!. It's far but there's bus and train so go for it!

I applied as volunteer 6 weeks ago. They will provide and pay my caregiving course. It is interesting because they need to check my background. I got my ENHANCED Disclosure certificate yesterday and thanks God! I have no record in Pinas. It took 6 weeks before I got my certificate and next week, I may start my course.

I am determined to learn I have my Dreamweaver 8 in my laptop but I don't know how to use it. That's why I enrolled.

HI Penny with regards the running out of time, it can happen to us all sometimes but worth investigating if you can have a little extra time? Some exams allow those with dyslexia or reading difficulties to have some extra time. Worth investigating you never know.

Dreamweaver 8 a great application and plenty of info on line from users of all levels and many like to make websites (as you would expect )


http://www.teacherclick.com/dreamweaver8/index.htm

Always worth having a google around years ago many companies and colleges course work appeared on google but most have wised up to that


Do you have office 2007 at home, does your courses qualify you to get a student version which is far cheaper? You can of course download a free trial
many people keep a spare pc or HD which they keep flattening so can load on the trial versions microsoft provide for there training at home

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/pr...741481033.aspx


Dont forget to use the help on office 2007 and online microsoft web help they spend millions making sure people understand how to use as best they can. As do many other sites, google or bing really is your best friend/s

simply type guide to office 2007 in to your search engine have a mug of your favourite drink and start reading and watching.

Thats how most people in offices have to learn and loads of material out there

Good luck with the Caregiving course

Thank you very much Somebody.
I think I have no dyslexia as I can read very fast. But without understanding what I read. If I need to understand the test questions, it will take a bit slow for me. I got two 100% among the 6 categories. But because I had no answers with the last two, it made me failed my exam. I also use the help button even during our exams. I cheat myself.

I have all my CD as my husband provided. I have also my Tutorial CD for Dreamweaver 8, ECDL, and Adobe Photoshop. But sometimes, I'm stuck with my Dreamweaver tutorial CD. I need someone to ask that's why I prefered to enrol in a private training school. I love it and found out that I like my Dreamweaver course than ECDL.

I can't imagine that I can make 2 webpages now. I am now focusing with cascading and html. Thanks for the assistance of the school for having long patience with me.

I am looking forward for my caregiving course. My volunteering job will be 2 hours per week only.

Thank you for the helpful links! It will add my knowledge and will visit the site often.

Hi Penny I very much doubt you have dyslexia or reading difficulties but always worth seeing if as English is offcialing your second language if you can use it to your advantage

Im sure you will pick up 2007 very quickly

ECDL is just your run of the mill programs which everyone has to use and I doubt many find exciting use well maybe Joe Bloggs does

Maybe i have dyslexia when it comes to English. But with Tagalog, I'm sure I have not.

I have lots of practice last week. But still there's some topics that I need to do more exercises. Mail Merge, IF functions, and Graph. Power point is the easiest.

To be honest, Web Design is more interesting than ECDL. BUt you can use ECDL outside UK.

I very much doubt half the people who claim to have Dyslexia do but even when i was at uni many used it as an excuse for extra reading time cough ahem

Very true Powerpoint is far more fun if you like web design compared to word and excel and lets talk about access now thewrs a big yawn inducer

ECDL like the title says is just to say you have everyday computer skills and many schools and unis get the pupils to take. As its showing that for most Jobs which involve a PC as a tool you will be fine

A very useful course for many moving to the UK from Phill, where 5 years ago anyhow i remeber seeing many offices/workplaces which had very few Computers and very few where each worker had a PC.
