I was a bartender. I was good at my job. I knew and understood the community by name history and what chapter of Life there in. I quit the job stupidly. Because of my new manager, she was horrible to me. Go to the point where I got harassed and bullied for hours and hours straight my head Manager wouldn’t do anything about it? She said. Oh she’s just pushy. Sometimes she doesn’t mean to be like that. It went on for months.

I’m a 21 year old male who has very mild autism. I would say socially I’m not always the best but am always willing to help customers. I work at Coles doing various things and the last 6-7 months has been mainly working by myself which I do like but the work itself is a massive overload. I just don’t know what to do and what else I’d even be interested in. I don’t fully believe in myself due to having autism and it makes me feel down sometimes.

Not sure if this is the right place to post as I've never really had a 'career'? Ive hopped from temp job to casual job and part time since leaving school. Had kids so spent time raising them and now they're in school, Im 35 and feel like I want to do something more serious but where do I start? I feel old and behind the 8 ball. Aside from applying for entry level jobs what else can I do? Is it worth getting a certificate or training at my age?

Hi everyone, I've been a qualified chef for 23 years, but lately I've been feeling completely burnt out and have lost the passion I once had for cooking. At 38, the idea of starting over in a new career feels pretty overwhelming—especially with financial responsibilities like a mortgage. I'm considering a mature-age apprenticeship to make a career change, but I'm concerned about the income side of things. Are mature-age apprenticeships generally low-paying. Thx

I have a question for those working a four-day work week. I keep reading about how companies in New Zealand are adopting the 4-day model, but how do you fit everything into four days? Secondary question: do you think this would work in Australia and would you do longer hours over the 4 days?

To be honest, I am an ordinary person. I want to live my life in a very simple way, with dignity and respect. I want a good job with a supportive and respectful work environment, like a family.

I have worked in the Justice and Forensic sector for past 7 years and previously this to this lead teams in the fitness sector. I’m also an ex police officer (prior to moving to Australia). I gave up work just over a year ago. I am looking to return to a part time role maybe in councils or the age care sector. I am at a time in my life where part time and a rewarding job is all I want. I am applying for roles and tailoring my cover letter to be applicable but having no luck. Any tips welcomed.
