Find out more about working as a facilities manager in a local council. Go to www.LGjobs.com for vacancies. My name is Fresia Campbell and my job title is facility manager. I look after the corporate cleaning contract and also the corporate security contract and added on to that I also look after the common parts within a building to ensure that its safe for staff to use and it covers all the heath and safety regulations. I stayed in school until I was 16 then I had to start thinking about career options. So I went to the careers office and we had some advice what was the best route I could take, an admin assistant was one of the route they suggested, and I got 6 jobs. So I looked at the 6 and decided which one pays the most and thats the job I went for, and that was the cabinet office, at Whitehall. Along the way I had some really inspiring and influential managers that have encouraged me, where I started as an admin assistant they saw more in me, and they were able to pour that more out, by either for advising to go for a particular job or just training me up, so Ive been very fortune while Ive been in Lewisham to be trained up and to be encourage to try other areas of work. Outside my work Im a foster carer, so I look after young people. My passion is to go work in a community. I believe you can do anything you want to do, you may necessarily have the qualifications, but you can find a way round it and get the qualifications, Ive had to go back to learning to get me …

Question by Dan S: Which military Branch and Job is right for me?
I’ve been wanting to join the military sense I was a teenager but i simply had too many obligations to make the commitment. Now I’m 24, have an associates degree and am free of all responsibilities binding me down. I’ve spoken to a few recruiters but it seems to me that they are all so biased toward their respective branches (“join mine its the best!”) that i can’t seem to get some good solid unbiased input.

I know I’ll have to retake the ASVAB but assume that i score at least as well as I did when i took it in high school – i was told i scored high enough on all parts that i would be able to take any job i wanted. For the sake of this discussion lets assume that the suggest job is also available.

Im very tech inclined (I’ve worked doing pc repair/custom building and networking) I’ve also worked doing construction (mostly carpentry) my last job was as a wedding photographer. I’m an avid outdoorsmen and i often kayak and rock climb. Physically, I’m in excellent athletic shape and have strong endurance. I’m a hands-on kind of guy, thus the only thing i know i don’t want is a desk job.

I have no fear danger, or hard work, and i openly embrace even the most difficult of challenges head on. Ill admit I’m a bit nervous about taking a military position that will leave me offering nothing to the civilian work force once my service is over. Assault rifle marksmanship offers little to the civilian life, or so they say.

thanks in advance.
my understanding was that to be an officer 120 credit hours are required. I have only 70, so unless i’m missing something or misunderstand something, then i can not be an officer nor pilot. i think my 70 credits will only get me as far as E-2
I guess i want a job with some action, but also has some sort of reasonable transition into the real world once my service is over.

I’m going back to the army recruiter this week, maybe ill have come up with something.

Answer by william m
find out if you can start as an officer since you have a degree, back in 2000 you needed 60 credit hours to become an officer but that was the Army, either way don’t just take the jobs that they say are open, if you want a specific job tell recruiter you will wait till it’s open and I bet in a week they will can and say you got it, but all – n – all I think the Air Force is the best branch I worked with them the last 3 yrs I was in and they where all nice and laid back.
