creative maverick

I was interviewed by Dave Monk on BBC Radio Essex on Tuesday about how to find work you love, even in a recession. Dave challenged me with some tough questions - have a listen to see how I answered questions like:

• Should you just fire off your CV to all the jobs you can find?
• Isn’t it just living in a dreamland to think you can get paid for doing what you love in the current economy?
• Why does someone who is very well qualified and very creative about finding work still find themselves unable to get a job?
• Aren’t some things you would love to do simply impossible - like wanting to become a rock star when you’re in your fifties?
• Surely if you have a mortgage and a family to feed, you might just have to take anything?
• What’s the alternative to job ads and recruitment consultants who don’t seem to be very helpful if you want to find a new line of work?
• Isn’t it a fact of life that some jobs are boring but pay well?
