In the past I have done security and van driving jobs.

I am now fed up of dead end minimum wage jobs, with no prospect of promotion.

So even though I am looking for any work a.t.m. Just so I have a wage, my long term goal is to better myself, and get a better job.

Now I'm not sure what I want to do, but I know I need qualifications, in the last 6 months, I have taken and passed Maths and English qualifications, I am now thinking about an I.T. Qualification, as even though I can use word and exel, I feel a qualification that proves it would help.

But what other qualifications would help me? And would a company be willing to take a chance on a 35 year old that wants a new direction in life?

Regrettably I am out of work a.t.m, I am having trouble finding someone to give me a chance.

They don't seam to understand that I was caring full time for my wife, in two interviews now, all the interviewer could focus on, is the fact I haven't had a wage paying job for 3 years, I try and explain that caring for my wife was a full time job, but they just don't get it.
