Twice a week we publish problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy’s own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
I am 60, I have an arts degree, an MSc in computer science and a postgraduate diploma in information management that landed me in a professional information role instead of clerk or typist after being a mature student.
Redundancy, family issues and relocation meant a four-year hiatus but this year I have found two jobs, the more recent of which – audio typing – is a return to what I did 40 years ago.
I still have several years in which I need to work and I wouldn’t necessarily stop at retirement if I was happy in a job. I did enjoy information management but libraries look a bit doomed. So I’d like part-time/flexible working and something new – all suggestions welcomed.
Do you need advice on a work issue? For Jeremy’s and readers’ help, send a brief email to dear.jeremy@theguardian.com. Please note that he is unable to answer questions of a legal nature or to reply personally.
