Under-employed

NAS39360

I am feeling under employed. In common with more than a few of us, I felt I was doing exactly what I was told earlier in life (hence the degrees), but am currently in a role with a lot of pressure but a low salary. The problem I find with wth roles I want is the "selection events". Any advice?

Also, as an aside, does anyone want to hire a French and Chinese speaking analyst with degrees in Law, Molecular Science, Theology and Linguistics who's currently dabbling in corporate intelligence but has worked variously as a university lecturer and technical author in the past? Ideally I want a job that uses my languages as foreigners tend to find me less "odd" (or more in line with the British people they see on TV!)

  • Define under employed?  Do you want more money?  More job satisfaction?  You picked an odd but interesting set of degrees to do.  Theology being a particularly odd choice.  The others not so much.  But none of them seem to be particularly related.  i would have thought Law or Linguistics would be the best for making money, Molecular Science for job satisfaction and Theology if you ever decide to become a priest.

    With that skill set im surprised you dont work for a government agency or maybe a think tank.

    So I can only wish you luck.  I know of no-one looking for a person with that range of experience.  You would be better concentrating on one of them and playing on the ability to speak other languages.
