Starting to re-write my CV and spruce it up. Been a while since I looked at it.

Always a good move Ollie and getting a knowledgeable friend to read through it can help as well.

I would think that a well written CV would still be required for that route and perhaps a doctor, or medical practitioner, could advise on CV structure to make the best impression.

I'm just not enjoying it at the minute. I am meeting an alarming number of people who only 2 days a week/gave up on the NHS now work in academia or as an X Y or Z. That just isn't me, it doesn't appeal to me and I don't like academic environments at the best of times: there is no way I am doing a PhD or Masters or anything of the sort. I'm a practical person who wants to see a practical application for what I am learning/doing. I can't say I have enjoyed any part of the experience yet so I am sort of scratching my head and wondering, ok what else can I think about doing that will attract a reasonable salary?

Yes, I also read that but was thinking that Ollie may presently be looking for any port in a storm. Of course any CV must be fine tuned, depending on the work being applied for but there is no reason why he can't continue to seek his dream whilst doing quarry work, land work, or even warehouse work.
I once spent time delivering a free news paper and earned enough to buy my first computer, digital camera, and printer; did it part time, whilst holding down a full time shift-work job.
Delivered over a thousand papers a week, plus flyers.
Yeh
I wasn't being funny by asking. It all seemed like it was going ok - We had exchanged PMs my missus is a district nurse so I know a little bit.
Then I've caught up properly.. and sounds not so well.
I hope he finds his destination.
Over and out.

Is there any way you can shift sideways within your present career to a more satisfactory but slightly different occupation, thereby building on what you’ve learnt so far?
In my experience every career has a pain barrier or two that needs to be overcome or lived with at times. All I know is engineering and farming. Both could equally be a real pain at times.
Nope you were not being funny, you were being caring by asking.
Yeh...
Craic on.

As my old drawing office manager used to say “Life’s a sh!t” and “ it’s always darkest before dawn.” So maybe just maybe hang in there and tough it out.
This wee YouTube link might work for Ollie. My wife and myself were doing an interesting anxiety resilience course and it popped up. The relationship with being pushed for academia (right brain) and leaving behind the left (creative/practical) brain.
I was never anxious and was actually very laid back until I was about 19. Always knew it was when I was doing my ag degree I pushed myself too hard and something “went”
Anyhow this guy explains it better than myself

Sermons are no different to listening to politicians, consultants , media influencers or so called activists, it's not always about the organisation they represent but the intent of what is said or meant.
I would rather hear a good sermon that listen to a conceited,narrow minded, bigoted , racist , lying politician.
That said a sermon should be like a miniskirt, short enough to capture the attention and long enough to cover the essentials....
If this post seems different to what I normally would write either by language or motivation you'd be right as it's one of the main reasons why I have to go to Hamar one day...

Still feel like I'm circling the drain a bit here. Not comfortable or satisfied with life at present so I'm in a bit of a spin still. I'm not even sure I can point at what is making me feel ill at ease. I'm not sure it is even unhappiness that I am feeling right now.
Maybe Frustration?.... That's what I simmer my sh!t down to.
