As in what are your day to day activities?

I work for a consultancy as an analyst. So lots of my work is modelling in excel, and then writing up the results in a slide deck or word document.

I make lots of graphs and have to format them.

What do you do?

I join meetings, many of which are completely pointless.

I work via teams with my boss planning new initiatives and brainstorming.

I support colleagues on initiatives to help them get better informed and do their job more easily.

The ultimate goal of all of it is to improve our customers' experience of doing business with us.

I find it very difficult to describe what I do for a living.

I edit academic papers for a couple of hours. Then I work on whatever novel I'm writing or editing (being a novelist doesn't pay all of the bills...), then work on book reviews, then some work training AI models.

Freelance writer/editor is my job title.

Deal with issues regarding clients which have been escalated to me, including any safeguarding ones. Review risk assessments, write/review policies, speak to volunteers, manage operational projects, attend meetings - often run by Trussell - speak to donors, respond to emails. Sure there's more, my job is quite varied.

I run a food bank for context.

Funeral Arranger.
I meet with families to discuss their wishes for the funeral.
I liaise with third parties - churches, crems, cemeteries, coroners, GP surgeries, nursing homes, hospices, celebrants etc
I make sure all the paperwork is completed correctly and filed or sent to the relevant organisation.
Book music choices, webcasts, organise orders of service, flowers.
I do daily checks on the deceased in our care. I often talk to them 🙂
I schedule chapel visits for families to see the deceased.
I take orders for headstones (tons of paperwork for organising those).
I receive cremated remains and ensure they're stored securely until they're collected by the family.
I sell funeral plans.
It's the most rewarding job I've ever done.

I would love your job. Or something similar. I've always wanted to be a funeral director.

I actually work as a clinical nurse specialist in palliative care. I call patients who have been newly referred to the hospice, introduce the services we offer, answer questions, reassure, advise on symptom management. I also see patients in Outpatients and do home visits. Plus arranging inpatient stays for symptom control or end of life care - liaising with patients and their families, hospitals, GPs, district nurses etc. It's a great job.
