I've been working in the building industry in some form or in different areas of this industry for 40 odd years now and I'm looking for something completely different to do now.

I'm getting nowhere! I'm 48 years old and I've been unemployed for at least 9 months. Security is my profession. I am looking to get out of the security industry and try something different. I've been applying for entry level jobs such as night fill supermarket roles, and I've even applied for work at TWG. All of my applications have been unsuccessful and i am usually sending out 5-6 job applications a month, some may think that it isn't much but it's easier for me to stay on top and manage.

I’ve been an office worker my entire life (now in my late 40s) and I’m tired of it, really just unmotivated to sit at a desk for 8 hours a day, plus I don’t really get any sense of purpose from my job. I want a radical change and to study environmental science and work outdoors/do something that benefits the environment. Does anyone have any advice or personal stories of making this kind of career jump at this age? Were you successful? Any regrets? I need hope...

I'm in my early 50s and have experience as a facilitator, administrator, Office Manager/ Operations Manager to ......to where I am now. It's not my ideal job, there's no job satisfaction; it just pays the bills. I'd really like to move into something that would encompass all if not most of the skills and experience I've gained over the years. I guess the fear is being re-employed at my age.... any suggestions on what route to take?

Hey all I'm really struggling to find a new career path. I have a bulge in my lower back (between L4-L5) that runs down my leg. Have been a concrete worker specifically in the Kerb and Channel for over 12 years, 7 of those as a forman. I built relationships with clients and staff along with all forman roles. I'm not qualified for anything, and anything I can get into requires physical work. If any one can guide me into a new path or offer an opportunity I would greatly appreciate it 🙏.

I'm seeking some insights from people in supply chain logistics. I’m a part-time inventory coordinator at a big company and have the chance to move into a full-time operations role for way more pay. BUT there's weekend work involved. I do want to move up the ranks and I don’t mind the grind, but I’m keen to hear stories from people already working in similar logistics roles. Do you enjoy it? Is it worth it? Are there any roles where you can move to a more structured 9-5?

Hey - just wondering if anyone has successfully changed careers in their early 50s? I've been in admin for 20+ years but interior design brings me joy. I've been studying and doing really well - but I know things are different outside the classroom. If anyone has any tips or advice, I'd be really grateful. Thank you! Nicky
