My daughter is about to graduate from university. (Non drama but she has had the lead role in a few uni productions). She is planning on having a break then possible doing a masters in drama next year. Given she has no plans before then, what is the shortest course that would make her eligible for spotlight?
Also any suggestions on where she might get extra work while off?
I have an idea to replace facebook with physical locations where people can gather in groups and discuss topics face to face. You can meet friends or make new ones. These locations would also sell food and drink and maybe play some music, have games you can play. Maybe make the drinks alcoholic and have a min age. It would be like facebook but real life.
I've been working in financial markets since 1993 (now aged 55). I've worked in pretty much every role in futures and options flow. From floor runner, trader, broker. To Back office clearing, fund management middle office, then since 2001 moved into IT supporting the clearing systems. Ended up promoted to vp lead in last 2 roles which spanned 15 years then 13 in my last one. Managing on and offshore teams and vendors. I was laid off last year after 13 years at the age of 55 and struggled to get interviews for a new role. Pretty sure age is the issue or the old 'over qualified' reason.
So I sat a few exams thinking that might help, passed AWS and AZURE fundamentals, Prince 2 practitioner and already had ITIL v3 foundation. I then took a 6 month contract in IT Governance as an ex colleague was head and asked me to work on a regulatory project. That ended and still no interviews until i took a perm role back doing hands on app support. Took it rather than having nothing else, but im basically back where i started in 2001 and same grade and money as when i started my last role 13 years ago.
Earning 40k less than i was in my manager role but at least earning. It didnt help that i found out im earning 10k less than others in my role.
Anyway, I want out and dont want to do Hands on support anymore. I want to move into a more management/project role but wondering if taking a few more exams will help or not. Personally I dont think they make me compete with someone with experience in the role. Is it too late to change roles? Contemplating taking a ITIL specialist exam or something like ITAM or IAM. The other side of me is thinking to learn something unrelated that AI cant take such as Boiler servicing!
