My main focus in recent time has been teaching. Firstly as a TA, then cover teacher and lastly a PGCE. Although I didn't  finish the PGCE, I am more than certain that jobs that involve improving the lives/education of people is what drives me the most. I learnt this from my experience in teaching, however I believe that being involved in recruitment would provide the same, if not more satisfaction, due to it being involved with improving the lives of those in and outside of my community in getting meaningful responsibility, as well as adding to the success of companies looking to hire well abled citizens.

Post achieving my Philosophy I stumbled across a few labour style jobs still trying to find out what direction is best suited for me. I decided teaching after much deliberation and found it extremel fulfilling. I started as a TA and also cover teacher for Arabic/Geography. 

I have received education in Philosophy BA level which has most significantl provided me with analytical and writing skills which have without doubt aided me greatly in my time as a TA and cover teacher.
