    Hi all,

    Just wondering if there are any good resources that primarily advertise jobs that don't have you at a desk all day!?

    I've had a look around, but don't see an awful lot.

    I currently work in IT and I'd like to get away from being at a desk all day so interested in what's out there for ideas.

    Thanks.

    I don't think they'd ever go for something like that where I am! :D

    Work for an ICT support company.. someone who has many different clients in different parts of the country.. you could end up on different sites each day..

    Saying that i moved to this type set up a few months ago and i'm leaving already.. Constant driving site to site was not for me..

    I guess I wouldn't mind going to the same place each day, once I'm not just sitting down at a computer..

    Do you have any skills, qualifications that you can use to find a non office job?

    No I don't. To be honest, I'm thinking of a carer change altogether and if I have to re skill then I'll do so.

    I was just hoping to see a list of what's out there to gather some ideas.

    Changing career is a big move and trying to figure out what you want to do is the hardest part.

    Have a gander at the below link for a list of courses that might give you some idea.

    Have a look at some websites like Careers Portal - they have quizzes you can do to explore what kind of work you might be good at/ interested in. Might focus the search for you a bit.
