Paperboy when I was 15 for nearly 2 years

Cleaner at the hospital for 2 years (one of the best jobs I ever had! Whoever thought of leaving 4 18-20 year old lads to clean the physiotherapy department at the hospital was insane! Had so much fun, racing electric wheel chairs, making hurdles with the reception seats, running accross the pool with the cover on, football with the medicine balls in the gym (until we wiped the clock out ), making wax sculptures with the hot wax. They were funny funny times and the amount of trouble we got into was unbelievable plus 4.50 an hour at 18 when your mates on 3quid is a bonus )

Safeway pharmacy assistant (please take note thats not a checkout monkey )

Couple of cleaning contracts while at uni during the semesters

Software developer for uni placement

IT Manager straight out of uni for 2 years

Just about to start as at a public company in the city doing development and network management

Most of my jobs been Admin based


Started off on a YTS and had a couple of placements

Then got a job in a local Magistrates Court's (was intresting in there, i used to deal with the Fixed Penalties and speeding fines )

Then worked in a solicitors and after that tried hotel receptionist ( had a right laugh on late shift when the hotel was quiet, we used to get up to allsorts, i used to always be nearly half cut as the duty manager would bring me glasses of wine down to reception )

Went and did a stint at Orange, wasent bad but the shifts were naff !

Then went into College Admin, what i'm doing now and hate it, want to go back
