Magistrate you say? Was that per chance in the Brighton area? Long shot but did you know a magistrate by the name of Derrick Stirling? Used to be my boss in a previous life and was truly obnoxious and felt sorry for anyone coming up before him

How funny would it be if happypig is Derrick Stirling.

Telecoms and retiring in 2019 tells me it isn't.

Get a copy of what colour is my parachute from the library. The only guide you need to finding work.

You can pick up copies on ebay really cheap. They refresh it regularly, so lots of previous editions are available.

Got mine for £2.50 delivered. Bargain.

Not sure if it is what you are after but given your magistrates background, maybe something like this:

Local charity and the CEO is an Albion STH.

How about volunteering? Citizens Advice always looking for support and your experience as a Magistrate could be really helpful for some people who have run into financial/ other difficulties and need help.

Don't know him I'm afraid. I was on the Sussex Eastern bench, sat in Eastbourne (and occasionally Hastings).

If you’re going to go down the LinkedIn route make sure you’ve got a good profile , good record of jobs with dates etc

The other thing to do with LinkedIn is to subtely change your profile every couple of weeks - nothing major, just small changes. There is clearly a search engine on LinkedIn that recruiters use to find the most recent changed profiles as you get far more views every time you alter your profile.

I would suggest Linkedin as well given over the past three years had numerous job offers however deleted my account from it as retired for good work wise

If you are really desperate.

I guess it depends on what your main driver is for going back to work. If it’s financial, then you probably need something aligned to your skills and experience. If it’s just that you need a purpose and something to get up for in the morning, then you have a wonderful opportunity to do something that you enjoy, maybe related to a hobby or interest.
