So what do you want to be when you grow up?

In truth, there are very few of us who end up being the Astronaut or a Princess. What you wanted to be when your granny asked you when you were 4 years old will probably have very little influence on what you actually end up doing.

That said, some people have very clear ambitions and stick to a career path which guides them through their school years and leads to university. Others have less definitive goals and take longer to decide on the path they wish to follow.

Whichever of these groups you fall into, or if you fall into another one altogether, it's not always easy to get the job you want. Gaining employment can feel like a job in itself and there is certainly a skill to filling in applications forms and attending interviews.

SYIS display local jobs in our drop in and can help you with the application process and help to signpost you to other organisations which may help. Please feel free to pop along for support and advice.
