I was a residential care manager and<br />
after a while I found that it is okay to<br />
move on.<br />
Having to promote Frontline fur spray<br />
for cats in a healthcare PR agency. I<br />
learnt that you have to believe in what<br />
you do in order to gain people’s trust.<br />
I washed very smelly football kits in<br />
the laundrette at aged 13.5 and learnt<br />
the value <strong>of</strong> work, as well as the<br />
enthusiasm <strong>of</strong> earning my own money.<br />
I was a production assistant and I learnt<br />
a lot about people skills — that I should<br />
“work hard and be nice to people”.<br />
I stuffed envelopes for estate agents<br />
for two weeks. I learned that the<br />
environment I’m in needs to inspire<br />
or connect with me. It wasn’t the task<br />
but the working environment I hated.<br />
