Jobs that aren't sales

Pontificating what other jobs I could do that aren't sales related.

I like writing, working with spreadsheets, solving problems and have average to good people skills.

I’m not sure you mean pontificating

Gizlotsmum · 18/03/2022 14:14

Receptionist? Accounting?

Interesting use of pontificate there OP

I’m a Quantity surveyor, lots of spreadsheets and problem solving, a surprisingly large amount of writing reports.
Not loads of interaction with people involved but that’s fine by me…

I have to look up what pontificate means now. I though it was like to reflect or procrastinate.

Sigh.

Obvs not what I meant.

Oh your job sounds genuinely interesting! I don't mind about people interaction.

@Lastqueenofscotland What are salary prospects at middle level? I have no huge desire to go to the top but middle level with a salary that is just above average would be fine.

An office manager seems a good one for all the above, Spread sheets, letters, problem solving, being around people etc!

Have you got any qualifications? You're not just going to walk into a QS position...

emmathedilemma · 18/03/2022 15:11

Are you willing to do training or want something you can walk straight into? If the later, what qualifications do you have already e.g. degree?

Project management or communications?
