Figuring out what sort of jobs you're eligible for?

    I have been in the same job for the last six or seven years,
    it is a fairly niche sort of job and if I quit my current position I would
    not be able to get a similiar position somewhere else, well at least not in Ireland as they are few and far between. I am thinking of moving on and doing something else but I really have no clue what else I would go at having only really done the same kind of work since leaving school.
    I have very good senior managerial experience with pretty decent computer and people skills.
    I would like to do something different but I really dont have an ideal job in mind. Nothing really appeals to me when I scroll through the job sites.

    I am just wondering are there any websites whether recruitment agency or cv related out there that you can fill in your work experience and find out what jobs you could apply for? Or that you might be suitable for.

    Anyone else out there who has found themselves in the same situation?

    See golden pages for full list
    My daughter got a full report on what she would be good at and what uni course to pursue so at least she is doing something that will appeal to her.
    Many make the mistake of looking only at the money or at the points required but should look at what are their strong points and play to them.
    Look at your hobbies and what type of people you are attracted to.
    Look at people you admire at work and elsewhere and try to copy their style, ask them how they got their jobs etc.
    Look at what you enjoy doing at work and try and maximise that in your next role. Trouble is there is crap work nobody like to do so don't be surprised if 30% of any job is doing stuff you don't like, that is typical.
    The trouble begins when you are doing a job where you hate 100% of it, the time spent, the people, the management style, the pay freezes and threatened pay cuts etc. etc.
    Once personal problems start to occur, such as drinking, family rows, relationship difficulties in and out of work, then it is time to take stock and change.
    Do not do anything in a temper or to get back at employers but do plan for change.
