Career advice

[onlychengy]

Hi all,

Just wanted to some advice on career options please. Graduated Law and Business in 2015 and been in car sales ever since; won several awards and also had some experience in management. Was responsible for FCA compliance and various reports (made easier most likely due to my uni background). My passion for cars meant I had a strong work ethic and performed well (main reason why I didn’t pursue Law as I couldn’t see myself working in something I did not have a strong interest in). Now looking to find a better work life balance, perhaps something different to sales. Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, may look into HR. Were you tempted to work in the automotive industry at all? Very impressive car history by the way.

obvious answer is to look at associated companies within the auto industry, eg finance, or auctions or maybe try to get a job with a manufacturer which will generally see you working normal hours - certainly no weekends.

Working in the automotive industry would have been nice and in some respects still would be. But I wouldn't do any old job just to be in it. In my line of work I have been able to change industry pretty much every job move. For a few years now pretty much all the HR jobs I have viewed or applied for pay relatively crap money. Employment law was where my interest lay but when push came to shove I simply lost interest in the law and employment law as a full time job and career.
