Sounds better than 'Project Manager for the refurbishment of Council offices'. Forget building anything, more like PR representative / whiping boy :whip:/ nanny to 800 odd members of existing council staff who'll moan when the temperature varies more than half a degree away from the 22 deg norm. Look out if we drill a hole and make a noise!

The refurb is simple (bar the excitment of no records of which electric circuit goes where - keeps the sparkies on their toes), the politics requires the patience of a saint..............and I've got six months to go...............and it's wearing thin.:judge:

Can think of many worse jobs to be doing though...........and a few better ones:D

self employed

gas fitter (and a bluddy good one)

Started out as a decorator in 1994 then joined the Army (Royal Engineers) in 1996. Got medicaly discharged (shattered ankle) and got into doorman work at some local pubs and clubs whilst still doing a bit of decorating to top the wages up ! Then in 2005 after the July bombings in London i was asked to work at the BBC television centre as a close protection guard (bodyguard basicly). Was a good job but a restless one so i have now returned to decorating full time ! Not quite as exciting as being a CP guard but it's steady money, good hours and easy-ish ! :)

At the moment i am a print finisher working for Nevisprint in Fort William, have been for near 10 years now, 9 of them night shift:sheep: Redundancy's looming but reckon i will be ok as i am about the hardest working ******* in my department and know my machines inside and out - one of the few who will try and fix em when they break down. Also been training to be a driving instructor, past first two test no bother but failed the final one in november and the first test has lapsed so have to do all three again:axe:

dnt think av answred this one lol. here goes anyway am a full time student studying business computing at cov uni and work as a sales consultant at Phones 4 u part time.

Fully trained Gardener to hnc level, work for a local authority which is crap, started in recent months to get into the training side of it so now helping out delivering vq's in horticulture to school kids which is pretty cool but have to go back to my normal crap after it recently applied to become a train driver less hassle twice the wages so fingers crossed

I can't believe that I've missed this one. Well, most of you know what I do...

I run an XPart AutoService Centre in Kent (between Sittingbourne and Rainham). I am the Managing Director and major share holder ;)

Prior to running this garage I used to be in IT. My last job was suporting a programming language. I also, at times, made changes to it, particularly in the area of the database interface.


BTW Halski is the guy in the bright coloured rubber gloves in the two photos.

I work for EDS on Oracle HRMS and Payroll System. Its good fun and I am currently on the biggest Oracle enterprise in the world.

currently in a similar role..dept leader in Norwich Union working in partnership with Barclays Bank......sounds grand but just means ..you phone them and get us!!!!!!

Looking to sit my final interview to become a RICS Chartered Quantity Surveyor. Currently employed by Urban Vision, public private partnership between Salford City Council, Capita Symons and Morrison Construction (although I handed in my notice just over a week) Going back to private practice, money and work exp. too inviting (who knows maybe purchase a 180)

Jim

Take it out Jim. Only adds weight!

wot we do for jobs , well im an HGV class 1 driver and i sort of enjoy it not a bad job.

im an ict director and its soooooooo boring :)

I am a Networking and Network Security Manager for a Large ISP, I Build servers for people to host large websites on and maintain the network behind them :D

Some of the forums are on my network ;)

Started as kitchen porter and then a short stint on a production line ( seriously boring) and then into bar work but sacked that as the pay is **** poor. Joined the forestry commission and put myself through a forestry management HND but found i didn't fancy being an office Jockey so went back to real forestry and a light stint in tree surgery. Ten year later and many a fallen tree ( many more planted so all you Eco folk are kept happy ) I quit my position of ground care and forestry foreman for the Marques of linlithgow in Hopetoun estate and I'm now a logistics specialist. AKA white van man for UPS. This wont last tho, boring as hell and no chainsaws!

how did you get into the forestry stuff? I quite fancy it

Try any private tree surgery company or go on to the forestry commission but you'll start as a basic labourer dragging stuff about and tidying up after folk then you may get put through the first saw course which is a good laugh. I got my commission job through a uni placement and the wage was mince to start with.

When I left school I went into airfreight as an export clerk and worked up to sales before I got feed up with being made redundant.

Then while training as a driving instructor I did some driving for a local agency in white vans and 7.5 tonners.

Then after 8 years as an instructor I got bored and went to work for a VW/Audi dealers as a valater, it is really hard to get back into normal employment after being self employed and this was the first job I was offered, eventually I got fed up with the company as although they knew I could do more and often got me to do parts sales, servicing, customer reception and even demonstrating they wouldn't let me move up as they couldn't get hard working valaters.

After a bit of agency driving I ended up at a courier company for 18 months that led to an offer of a 7.5t driving job with a special event furniture hire company, www.spaceworks.co.uk , great job for the single man as we were at the heart of the entertainment business doing most major sporting and media events, F1, american champcar, superbikes, international rallying, wimbledon, chealse flower show, the brits (did that 5 years on the trot). I put myself through LGV2 and LGV1 while here. Unfortunatly durring while working here I became unmarried and when I remarried I walked out a week later.

9 months of driving Royal Mail artics for manpower got very boring so I took a job with a local civils plastic merchant as a 7.5 driver and when we got taken over I progressed to rigid crane lorries (including releif driver for our wagon and drag - a cab length longer than an artic!), unfortunatly the area we covered got smaller so the furthest one would drive is about 30 miles, 2 hours driving and 6 hours loading unloading, even with a remote control crane is not my idea of fun. I got myself transfered into the yard with the intention of working up to distrabution manager, it is slow progress but I might get there before I retire.

Currently my job consists of running an inter depot trunker (from load planning through admin to driving the fork lift to laod it), I am also a releif driver and jack of all trades in the yard and try to get my finger into as many aspects of the depot and company as possible, today I spent 2 hours sweeping up before spending some time in my capacity as a member of the companies directors/employees commitee (20 of us from 1100 staff).

Officially my job title is "LGV relief driver", my employer is www.burdens.co.uk

In my spare time I am doing an open university BSc.

Didnt realise you were at Cov uni, never seen you around

I went to Cov uni (finished in 1999 though!) had a great time despite most Cov being a right dump!

Well i'm a paperboy :p

No really I am

I am a production engineer at Ingenico in Dalgety Bay.
We do secure payment terminals. Chip and pin machines at checkouts and in the banking industry etc

Yeah I'd like to see you deliver all those ******* papers on a bike John :laugh: by the time you'd finished your round the paper would be about 6 months out of date :rofl:

I know what you are........no not a ****** ;)

I like trucking! I like trucking! I like trucking because I love to truck! *parp parp* :D

Jim

Im in the Music Industry,
im self employed and involved in Producing and Remixing (mainly Dance music) but I have worked with many different styles of music, different people and record labels, been doing it for roughly 8 years, since I left school (im 24 now)
I have a studio built at home were I mainly work from,
its not really a job that has demanding and set hours, so over the years I have managed to fit a couple of different things in along side it,

In the early days of leaving school I also worked as a DJ, and trained as a Sound & Light Engineer, and then worked as a Sound and Light installer/Engineer for a year or so,

I then got very deep in to the Production/Remixing and Mastering and put a lot more time in to doing that,

to simply tie me over when I had quiet times I decided to start an online cd/vinyl store, which sadly due to the current state of music sales I recently decided to stop trading and get out before things go wrong,

im still involved in Producing, Remixing and Mastering and im currently in the process of setting up a new business with my Farther, an Audio/Visual Installation service combined with Testing and inspection, and were doing our own one off custom installs that can pretty much be tailored to whatever the customer wants :cool2:
