My pizza is in the oven,
its got great stuff all over it, and i'm really looking forward, i only ate an apple for breakfast so i'm starving.
I've also downloaded some music on recommendation from a friend, looking forward to listening to that too.

What i'd really like is some sort of idea of what i can do if i'm actually going to leave the pub trade.

What are you good at?

(PsychoChomp, Fri 19 Apr 2013, 13:43, Reply)

i dunno, people is all I've ever done, i am good a what i do, but I can't deal with these hours any more.
I'll be honest, it's starting to effect things with me and Ladypig.
I'm good with my hands, cars, and DIY and gardening etc.

How much money will you need?

(PsychoChomp, Fri 19 Apr 2013, 13:50, Reply)

not a huge amount,
as long as i'm getting around 20k i can pay mortgage and stuff, might have to cut back a couple of luxuries, but that would be sustainable for a new start somewhere. Maybe even a little less if Ladypig is willing to help support while i retrain
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 19 Apr 2013, 13:51, Reply)

Retail managment?
Can be pretty great money and the big chains have good prospects. Not great hours, but better than a pub.
(PsychoChomp, Fri 19 Apr 2013, 13:53, Reply)

yeah, i thought about that, would at least get some of my evenings back,
but weekends are the big thing.

Most the places I know that aren't 24 hours
will do one on one off. Which is much better than you're getting now I assume.
(PsychoChomp, Fri 19 Apr 2013, 13:55, Reply)

yeah.
i will look in to that.

Get an old UPS type delivery van
Using your impressive DIY and Car fixing skills make it into a Catering van, only trade during lunch times, doing nommy pulled pork and the like at some swanky high flyer type spot

Arrange for Monty to mug you on the way to the bank
£30K+ would get you started and Monty would think the Fiver you paid him was a kings ransom

Is there any scope for staying in 'the trade' but moving up the ladder, so you don't have to deal with the daily shite?

Someone in Weston is looking for a pub manager.
I saw it yesterday when I was searching. Of course, the only downside to that is that you'd have to live in Weston...
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 19 Apr 2013, 13:59, Reply)

That's what he already does.
He's looking to move jobs, not move somewhere shit.

Sorry, I read 'if I'm going to leave the pub trade'
and assumed it wasn't a done deal yet.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 19 Apr 2013, 14:02, Reply)

This is the problem I've been having
Things I'm good at and things I'd like to do - not always the same.
On the plus side, though, at least you've got some employment history behind you. I've been self-employed for so long I might as well have just written "Do not employ this person" all over my CVs.
And you're under thirty, which is another bonus.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Fri 19 Apr 2013, 13:58, Reply)

The under 30 thing doesn't matter.
Oh wait, I forgot you were a woman
(PsychoChomp, Fri 19 Apr 2013, 13:59, Reply)

Thing is, if I'd been off raising children, that would be fine.
But working for myself? Not even getting a foot in the door :-(

Your refusal to work anywhere else apart from Weston super Mare probably doesn't help you.

Unofficially most employers want their female employees to be past child-bearing age.
But they really prefer male employees, to be on the safe side.

I keep pointing out that I have no home ties
no kids likely to be ill, can work antisocial hours as needed, all that nonsense.
I know the situation is dire these days, and there's anything up to 200 applicants for some jobs, but I'm not even getting the courtesy of a 'fuck off' email any more. in fact, a lot of them ask you not to contact them either, so asking for feedback is out, too.
