Re entering the workforce
Hi.
I have been long term unemployed. I stopped working when we had children and then did a large renovation on our home. I don’t have a topical work history and have worked in many different industries. I have had workplace tickets that have expired.
I started working in the navy on subs.
I have worked for a few years installing stereo systems/ phones in cars.
I worked for a number of years as a concrete boom pump operator.
We purchased a bakery and I have basic baking skills. It was part of a franchise and we won sales growth, coffee sales national awards.
Then purchased a three business in one, takeaway, license cafe and catering business. Increased sales three times in four years.
I then worked as a barista trainer since our coffee sales were so strong.
I then worked in a IT company doing network and infrastructure administration.
I had a excavator for a few years but no tickets as I did work on my own property
Also forklift but no ticket
I currently have a scaffolding ticket as I needed that for our renovations.
I have had an asbestos removal licence.
I also have done enough ocean sailing miles to have done a lap around the world and have sailed most of the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean. I am close to 30k miles.
I have no clue what is the best way forward. I have a HR truck license and would prefer to work in something like that instead of heavy work on the tools.
Is there a place where you put up skills and employers look at what is there?
Regards
