: About Me

I am English, fifty-several and slightly bonkers. I have two delightful off-spring who are now making their own way in the world, leaving me to rediscover the person I was before I became "Mum". The trouble is I can't remember!
I have spent most of my working life as a teacher / tutor/lecturer - all the same thing really, except that I researched and published as a University lecturer. My main area of professional research interest is Information Systems methodologies and eLearning.
I am at a cross roads now and have decided to leave the safety net of my working experience and jump right into a new life - all or nothing! Scary but exciting.
A helpful young thing in an employment agency took one look at my CV and thoughtfully concluded that I have "no transferable skills". I laughed out loud, went home and got cross - how dare she! I e-mailed her a challenge to get me an interview - anywhere, anytime and anything, but not teaching. I'm still waiting to hear from her.
In the meantime I have applied for a number of jobs, been short-listed for several, offered one and have more interviews on the horizon.
I am in a position to choose, but I want to write. I was short-listed from over one hundred applicants for a job as a writer for a local charity, but got unlucky at interview - nearly made it but there was someone better. So here I am - I am going to practice.
Oh, and I have just started a blog -see mylinks - have a look and please leave comments if you have time and inclination. This is my first blog and it is a lonely place at the moment!

7 of 7

Unfair treatment at work takes on many forms, and indeed, can present as an indication of prejudice against several groups, such as working mothers, the elderly and homosexuals. It is a given that such practice in the work place is totally unacceptable, and there are, increasingly, recognised procedures and frameworks that enable an individual to fight back, providing the grounds of the accusation can be substantiated with good evidence. Hence there is a requirement for meticulous documentation of events and actions that illustrate the unfair treatment. However unpleasant fighting such a b...
