Local Authority lower manager of a small team.
Aiming for a bigger team or commissioning or something similar in a couple of years time.
I'm on a management mentoring scheme to get there. I just need two things, my youngest child to go to secondary and to get well enough to keep up the momentum, as any move up would involve FT and I'm PT at present.🤞

I play trains- station management
I misread that as “I train PlayStation management” and i thought wow what a cool job, I bet they get all the latest games first and before they’re even released lol.

Have you tried switching it off and on again? (apologies, you must hear that all the time).

I do an admin job, something I have done for a while and comfortable with but I would love to study and train in something exciting and what I can build an actual career path in as this doesn’t really have room for advancement.

I have a degree in early years and I had jobs in that sector until I stopped for health reasons. I most recently worked in a call centre for an airline. I’m current unemployed due to mental health as I had to get out of my last job before it finished me off, but I’m currently searching for a job in admin.
I've also worked in a call centre for an airline before.

Right now all I can say is Oil & Gas, since I'm pretty sure I am the only one doing what I do in the whole of the UK.

I work in the public sector (water / drainage industry)

I still don’t know how I ended up here or in my current job. I suffer from imposter syndrome I think!!

I really like the company I work for and love the varied jobs available if you’re not afraid of change and jumping right in with minimal training/support and figuring it out on the hoof. Really good benefits and job security. However, being public sector change is never managed properly, things can take an absolute age and there is a lot of dead wood- people who are holding out for voluntary redundancy packages. Shame our business really don’t make redundancies. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Full time dole bum. This entails letting my kids do whatever the duck they want, I get my benefits on a Friday and by Monday they're all gone. Most of it up my nose, in my lips or on my face. These benefits never give me enough for nappys, milk, electric and gas though. bleeps. I miss Jezza Kyle and seeing my mates on it most days.

I have a few roles, property manager in block management, admin/finance for a property management firm and I run an Etsy shop.

I am a trained silversmith and fishmonger. I started my role in block management as a stop gap along side my part time role at a jewellers and 8 years later I still work there 🤣

Accountant/tax advisor - whenever I mention that I work in tax people seem to assume I'm helping rich people dodge tax. It's really nothing like that at all... I do regular boring tax returns for average people and no one is dodging any tax.

It was my first ever part time job, did it full time for a few years before going to uni to do silversmithing. I love it, I wanted to go back but my husband says the smell is too much 😂

I’m a bid manager for a well known British architect based in London.....landed it back in august when I got made redundant whilst on Mat leave from my job in a construction firm based in Surrey.

Turned out to be the best career move I’ve had!

Woo I’m a tax advisor too 🙋🏻‍♀️

People are always surprised when I tell them my job! It’s def not my dream job but it pays the bills and I don’t know what else I would do. Also I’ve done too many exams to do anything else!
