Clearing through old things and came across a poem I wrote in my early 20s - at a time when I was struggling to find a job. Spooky how three decades later, it is so relevant to my current work situation again. But on a more positive note - how neat is my handwriting? 😀

Currently undertaking a few industry training courses. It is all good for adding to the top of the cv until the next exciting telly job comes along. Also answers the slightly pointless ‘what have you been doing since your last role?’ question that keeps creeping into my conversations 🤷🏽‍♀️

Cleaning my bookshelf and came across this. Can’t even remember who gifted it to me but its giving off Secret Santa vibes. Apologies for the filthy language but had to share cos its funny and also a little bit true 🤣

CV revamped and also achieved getting it down to 2 pages without compromising on key details (something I’ve never managed before). I mean, there is 30 years experience to talk about so well done me! Sexy new version will be hitting some desks in 2025 if not working by then. Bring it on 😉
