Job Search Success - Mark Jory
About the Author
Mark Jory became a Career Practitioner who has been through his career journey.
From High School, he worked seven years as a Customs Officer then took voluntary redundancy and began working as a Branch Manager in a sea freight forwarding business, which morphed into a sales Manager role with the courier side of that business.
After arriving at work one day to be told his position was now redundant and to clean out his desk, within just one week he took on an Assistant Manager role in a retail store.
He also worked one night a week as a Kitchenhand for over a year during this time. In the three and a half years in the retail job, he found he was becoming more and more dissatisfied and disillusioned with both the work and the employer, so he took up an opportunity to become a self-employed Life Insurance Agent.
He continued in this career for 19 years without achieving any great success financially but gaining both educational and industry qualifications as a Chartered Life Underwriter, Certified Financial Planner, and Authorized Financial Adviser.
He also completed a Graduate Diploma of Business (Personal Financial Planning) via distance learning from Massey University.
In the last ten years of this job, he got involved briefly with a woman who chose to blackmail him. Threats he felt would end his marriage. The blackmail demands for money continued for more than nine years, ultimately leading to Mark running out of all his family savings and maxing out all his lines of credit.
In desperation to keep this secret from his wife and to retain his marriage, he committed fraud and forgery through his business to keep meeting his Blackmailers ongoing demands for money.
This was eventually discovered and led to him closing his business and repaying most of his debts to the insurance companies from the sale of his business.
He admitted his fraud to the Police and made a blackmail complaint. He gained two sales roles over the next 15 months before Police finally charged him.
Around this time, his Blackmailer was arrested for breaking her bail conditions and placed in prison. That afternoon she had her mother phone Mark’s wife and tell her about the blackmailing and the brief relationship eight years earlier!
Six months later Mark appeared in court to plead guilty and was remanded in custody, later being sentenced to two years and three months. He served almost 10 months in prison followed by 17 months on parole.
While in prison he worked in the prison kitchen, gaining several NZQA unit standards and completed two health papers through the Open Polytechnic of New Zealand via distance learning.
When he was released from prison, he had lost his marriage, his relationship with his adult children, his home, all his savings and investments and everything he had ever owned. He had also lost his business, career, professional status, and self-esteem.
He had however gained a criminal conviction and even though he had served his time, this conviction will follow him for the rest of his life.
Two months after his release from prison he began working a full-time night shift at a meat processing plant located 100 km south of where he lived.
A month later he also began studying a three-year full-time Bachelor of Social Services degree at Otago Polytechnic, specializing in Career Practice. In
the second year of his studies, he quit the job at the meat processing plant to take up a full-time evening factory role for a company that prints promotional products, and which was located in the city where he lived. This saved him from the significant daily travel to and from the meat processing plant.
After completing his degree, with distinction as the top student in his Career Practice speciality, he was offered the role of Careers Adviser at Otago Polytechnic and worked there from January 2019 to September 2021.
By then he had developed a long-term relationship with a British woman and her working visa to stay in New Zealand had expired. They got married then moved to the United Kingdom.
Having experienced a variety of work roles and environments, and having had to restart his life, Mark has met a wide variety of students and prospective students as a Career Adviser across a wide range of study and career fields.
After his release from prison, Mark applied for over 100 jobs but only received two interviews, as he applied for anything he felt he was capable
