I'm also feeling like a career change. I'm so bored of govt work

Come and sit by me. I need to upskill and refresh my CV, tbh. I can see myself in this job for one more year before I burn out.

Have you considered some form of client servicing job? I was in client servicing in PR and if you've got good clients, it's very challenging and rewarding!

(Of course bad clients are a nightmare)

Hmmm. How do I get into that? As in, would I need to do courses in PR or logistics or what? I think my problem with my job is, I'm pretty much the clearing desk of problems. As in, I get a problem, I send it to the department where it's measured up and resolved. But... more times than not, there's no time frame, and then, the blame comes back to the front line staff. Yeah, business to business would be a bit easier, even if the bad clients are a nightmare. I think I just want to work in a backroom role going forward, tbh.

You could do courses, but honestly, I got into PR without studying communications. Just look into applying at local PR firms, they're always hiring. And you have journalism experience, right? That's a big plus!
