[GymClassHero]

I was a Customer Service Manager for an IT & Telecoms company for over 6 years but im actually in the process of being made redundant

My plan B is to finish my PT course so i can become fully qualified and start working for myself and continue my training for the Fire Service fitness exam. The next intake is in Janury so im going to apply without a shaddow of a doubt as health wise i will be good to go by then.

Its funny how being put in a situation like redundancy can really make you re-think your goals in life. I wanted to do all of the above in a few years time but i suppose ive been given a kick up the bum to crack on with it now

 

[malaika]

I am a bookkeeper, and currently do it privately in the evenings and weekends for a few clients.

Full time, I am temping. Initially I started in the accounts department of an internet business to business directory for a couple of weeks but stayed for 14 months. I was then offered a position to cover maternity in their Client Support department.
I love it, as I get to speak to a lot of people on the phone and am learning more about helping people with their web pages.
All experience is good and it's a nice break from constant number crunching.
