Slowly, please.

Jay Mansen has been a policeman for eight years now. "I worked here and there after leaving school, but nothing was permanent, so I applied to the police force, had the interview and got the job. I like the work very much although sometimes it's a bit of a shock. As a policeman, I see some of the worst things that happen in our society and it can change the way you look at the world. If you're not careful, it can have very negative effects. You have to remember that criminals are only a tiny part of society and that the majority of people are honest. My wife and daughters are always there to remind me that the world is actually quite a nice place."
Being a teacher of children that have learning difficulties can be very exhausting, but also incredibly rewarding," explains Sarah Tomkinson. "I have been doing voluntary work for the past seven years. I work as a schoolteacher during the week, and at the weekends I work with children at a local centre . It can be very tiring and you need to be very patient. I find it challenging work and it's incredibly rewarding to see these children develop. It makes all the hours of very hard work seem worthwhile. I love it and now I've applied for a full-time job there."
From the first day at work, Julie Cunningham knew that she was going to love it. Julie says, " It was my first job. I got on with everyone straight away and became quite close. It's very creative work because it's important to make people happy with what you do with their hair. The salon is very busy every day of the week and now that I have been working for four years, I have got to know most of the customers very well. Of course, there have been some accidents over the years, but thankfully not often! I'll never forget when one woman's hair turned green! When things like that happen it's very embarrassing and upsetting for everybody at the time, but then you look back find them quite funny!"
