Carol Vorderman has made her last appearance on Countdown. It was a quarter of a century ago that the 21-year-old joined another unknown, Richard Whitely, to launch the show on the fledgling Channel 4.

What she and Richard shared was a poor academic record. Both had been hailed as members of Cambridge University’s Nines Club _ a derisive tag given to those who had got thirds in each of their three years. (3 plus 3 plus 3 equals 9)

The quiz show was to be her turning point. Soon her earnings, from the show, other TV appearances, books, including best selling guides to sudoku, newspaper columns and endorsements, totalled more than 1m pounds a year.

She is one of many whose TALENT were not immediately obvious.

Winston Churchill is almost as famous for his poor school reports as for his war time leadership.
A primary school report on the future PM reads, “Is a constant trouble to everybody and is always in some scrape or other.”

Sir Isaac Newton may be remembered for discovering gravity, but the method of that discovery, lying under an apple tree and being hit by one of its fruits, is an uncanny echo of his school reports which describe him as both “idle” and “inattentive.”

Dame Judi Dench has just picked up a Lifetime Achievement honour from the European Film Awards to go with her Oscar, nine Baftas and one Golden Globe awards, and is starring again as M in Quantum of Solace.

But at school hopes for her were not exactly high. “Judi would be a very good pupil if she lived in this world,” sighed her head teacher.

Richard Dawkins, controversial author of The Selfish Gene and live-wire baiter of organised religion, is constantly in demand to spice up debates on TV and radio.

Yet his school matron dismissed him saying, “Dawkins has only three speeds, slow, very slow, and stop.”
His French master identified, ” a wonderful facility in escaping work.”

After a screen test for RKO a report on Fred Astaire is said to have read, “Can’t sing. Can’t Act. Balding. Can dance a little.”

The fear has always been that such stories devalue the need for a good education.

Jade Goody was the spectacularly ignorant (and losing) contestant on Big Brother who thought East Anglia was a foreign country, and later trained for the London Marathon on a diet of curry and Chinese takeaways. But she is worth a reputed 8 million pounds.

The Learning and Skills Council surveyed 777 16-to-19 year-olds in England, and one in 10 said they would drop out of education for a shot at TV fame, citing celebrity was a great way to earn money without skills or education.

A LSC spokeswoman said research showed young people without five good GCSEs or the equivalent were more likely to earn low pay later in life.

Previous research suggests pupils who stay on at school after their GSCEs could earn up to 4,000 pounds more a year: totalling 185,000 pounds more over their careers.

And while those who gain A levels or other advanced qualifications can expect an average salary of 20,692 pounds, those without at least five GCSE passes at grades A to C will have to get by on only 16,739 pounds.

The LSC can take some comfort from the subsequent careers of the Big Brother winners.
2000: Craig Phillips, now marketed as an international home improvement and property expert.
2001: Brian Dowling, last spotted hosting Brian Dowling’s Cheesy Pop 100 on Smash Hits TV.
2002: Kate Lawler, lingerie model for Anne Summers, host on Kerrang! Radio, and DJ.
2003: Cameron Stout, writing newspaper columns in Scotland.
2004: Nadia Almada, Portuguese transsexual, last seen in Fool Around with Nadia, a four-day reality show for C4 in 2006.
2005: Anthony Hutton, last seen on Party Poker in 2007.
2006: Pete Bennett, Tourettes sufferer, still trying to launch a career as a singer.
2007: No show.
2008: Brian Belo, now back living in Essex.
Celebrity does not always bring you fortune.
Carol Vorderman is the exception.

Article Title: How to Explain Career Changes That You May Have?

If you’re worried about career changes on your resume, you don’t need to stress overmuch. While a generation ago, your parents might have held the same job for thirty or forty years, today it is almost expected that you change companies and even change careers completely at least once. The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics states that the average person changes careers more than three times in their lifetime.

Explaining Career Changes

Knowing you are one of many does not make it easier to answer questions about career changes in an interview, especially if your career change was unsuccessful. Your best bet when handling career changes in interviews are to spin your answer in a way that makes you sound especially appealing to the employer. If you’ve changed jobs frequently, you are potentially risky as a new hire as you might decide to leave again. But if you can put emphasis on the things a company would like to hear such as seeking a challenge or looking for advancement opportunities, it will be hard to hold the change against you.

Avoid Negativity

One thing to absolutely avoid is negativity about your former career or former employer. No company wants to bring in an individual with a negative attitude or who sports a substantial chip on her shoulder. Instead focus on yourself in your response, not your immature ex-boss and hateful co-workers.

Changing Companies

If you change positions within a company or field of work, pat answers such as, “I am seeking to develop new skills to broaden my abilities,” or “My former position lacked upward mobility, which is why I am so excited to see how your division is structured,” work very well. These kinds of responses are positive reflections on your drive to challenge yourself and move up in a company rather than just filling a seat behind a computer.

Changing Career Fields

If you are attempting to leave one field of work and enter another, it can be a bit trickier to cover the jump smoothly. You should be honest with yourself about why you want to make a change. This will make it easier to frame the proper response to the employer. Granted, you shouldn’t be so honest that you hurt your chances. Again, putting a positive spin on an answer will boost your chances if done well.

“I would like to enter this field because I realize that I truly want a career that is rewarding outside in and of itself.”

“I feel as though I’ve reached my potential in my former career and am ready to face a new challenge to enrich my life and my abilities.”

“I feel strongly that a career should enrich who I am, and I realize that with your flexible hours and attention to work-life balance, I’ll be able to maximize my potential in your division and at home with my growing family.”

Sometimes opportunities seem to fall into our laps, and if this is the case with a job interview, it should be embraced as an opportunity – not an obstacle to overcome. Granted, a last-minute job interview is particularly stressful as you haven’t had time to prepare as adequately as you might like, but you should never turn down an interview if the position is of interest to you. You’ve got the interview you want; now you just have to rush to be ready for it.

The Standard Attire

When starting a career search, you should have at least one outfit in your closet that is ready for a short-notice interview. A dark pants suit, or a blazer and tie are good choices for almost any situation, but you must always be sure they are clean and presentable. Don’t allow these items to sit in the laundry or dry cleaning pile as they should be ready when you need them.

Company Research

You might not have time to talk to current or former employees of a particular company, but you can scan the company’s webpage looking at the mission statement, the services the company provides, the information about the company’s background and information about products. Don’t allow yourself to get bogged down in details. Quickly review the job advertisement, if possible, to remind yourself what attributes were listed for the ideal job candidate and the company goals and services. This is enough to get you started, you gain glean more insight during the interview.

Rehearse Standard Responses

If you aren’t sure what sort of interview you’ll be having, you should rehearse some of the standard questions as well as reviewing stories of past successes and failures to have on hand in the event of behavioral interview questions. The most pressing areas to have covered mentally before sitting down for the interview are:

“Tell me about yourself.” – Give a general response with highlights of your career and items of interest to the interviewer. You do not have to mention family, former careers or anything else that could become a deterrent to a solid interview.

Strengths and Weaknesses – Know both strengths and weaknesses. Never tell an interviewer you don’t have any weaknesses. Find one and state how you’ve overcome it.

Goals – Short-time and long-term goals in your career and possibly your life outside of work.

Successes – Stories where you’ve succeeded in any area.

Failures – Stories where you learned a valuable lesson or things simply didn’t go your way.

Challenges You Overcame – This is a big question in behavioral interviews.

Why you want the current position with this particular company – Show you know something unique about the company, it’s products and it’s culture.

Most other interview questions stem from similar topics, so knowing these will give you a head start in virtually any direction.

Final Details

Finally, comb your hair, print a few copies of your resume, stick it in your portfolio along with a pen and be on your way. Practice breathing techniques and mock interview questions on the way to the interview so you arrive warmed up and calm – or at least outwardly calm.
