WORK/CAREER/VOCATION

Work/Career/Vocation

“What do you do?”, is often the start to a conversation with strangers. Replies such as dusting or breathing, would not be considered pertinent, however factual in part.

Most of us are employed in some kind of money-earning activity from our teens to our senior years. It commonly dominates about half a century of our lives. Around that might circle family, homelife, hobbies, socialising, meals, and sleep. Though a version of nine-to-five can be the central point around which other factors need to orbit.

Were there elements early in childhood that inevitably led to your field of work?

Were your natural talents involved or sidelined?

Was choice, luck or duty more in play?

How much have your career dreams been fulfilled?

Have you made or wanted a major career change, and if so, why?

If you have reached or are approaching retirement age, how differently do you now view your work choices?

CUSTOMS:

You must register and be on the “Attendees - Going” list to attend.

Minimum spend of $10 at the cafe on food and/or drink. This enables us to have free use of their private room.

We meet UPSTAIRS at the Little Turkish Cafe.

Please arrive early to order food and/or drink before you join us. Several people arrive early and eat downstairs before the Meetup. You are welcome to join us.

Bring $1 to cover Meetup costs.

RSVP POLICY:

RSVPs and cancellations will be accepted up until 6 hours before the start of the meetup so that people who feel unwell on the day have time to change their RSVP and allow someone else to attend.

Being registered to attend and not attending OR cancelling your attendance after 12:30pm on Tuesday will be considered a 'No Show'.

Members with two 'No Shows' will be banned from attending further D&M Meetups. This RSVP policy has become necessary due to the high number of last minute withdrawals and non-attendance. This unfairly causes people on the Waiting List to miss out. Thanks for your cooperation.
