Slug YOUR QUESTIONS Hayley’s move into the TV limelight means she’s regularly contacted by members of the public asking for advice – or simply wanting to get her opinions. We o ered readers of our sister magazine, www. athomemagazine.co.uk, the chance to put their own queries direct to the Fairy Jobmother: here are some of the best, along with Hayley’s responses. DEAR HAYLEY, I am widowed for the last ten years and haven’t worked since then, having bought my two sons up and suffered from breast cancer in 2003. It feels so scary going out in the world again but I have no choice: my allowance ceases in September. I have some knowledge of medical terminology, have worked in hospitals, have a little computer experience but would like to do shop work, as am interested in working with people, I have lost my confidence somewhat and am not sure where to start. It won’t be easy I know. Karen, 55, Walthamstow Hi Karen, Wow, you have had so much to contend with and I would like you to know that I admire you for wanting to get yourself back out there. The first thing I would say is that when you feel low in confidence it is a huge challenge to enter a field in which you have no previous experience; in order to start feeling better about yourself it is wise to utilise the experience and skills that you already possess. Have you thought of working in a Health Centre or GP’s surgery? You would have all the skills that are required for such a role and you would feel comfortable knowing that you had the required knowledge to meet the needs and demands of such a position. Should you still want to work in a retail environment then why not volunteer? This is a great way to try something new and build up your confidence and can lead to paid employment. Why not try Cancer UK? You would then be able to gain experience, whilst being able to relate to the cause - which in turn would help raise your confidence and self-esteem.
