To ask what you do for a job?

[bananabreadbatshit]

Inspired by the earlier thread about suitable work clothes...

Just generally interested in what people do for a living, no outing details required.

I'll start... IT Software Support

2 days head of comms at charity, 1 day freelance consultancy (a few similar clients), 2 days freelance writer (mostly books/magazines). It's a bit over-complicated and I think I would prefer 3 days at the charity and sack off the consultancy clients. But funding, contracts, etc

@gossipgoat this sounds amazing, what's your favourite thing you've developed?

Partner in a law firm

I'm a grant assessor for funds needed when natural disasters occur

Please stop telling me it's your dream job. No, peonies aren't my favourite flower. No I don't care about your wedding or want to see your Pinterest board.

Tax specialist HMRC (formerly known as tax inspector)

Corporate communications.

@Zhougzhoug similar here. Finance manager for 3 charities and 2 small businesses. Would like to simplify things a bit but funding is the issue!

Part-time Forensic Nurse Examiner, part-time yoga instructor. I love both my roles and I cherish being a yoga instructor, it grounds me and protects my MH

Community mental health nurse. Senior role in my team so a mix of clinical and management

I am a veterinary care assistant. I love it so much it's my username.

I clean equipment and areas, sterilise equipment, run bloods, dispense meds and take payments from clients.
I also hold animals for procedures, feed and water them, do their obs and take them out for exercise.
Plus, reception duties and restocking the items for sale.

Best job ever! Crap money though!

Wow, what does the first role entail if you don't mind me asking?

Primary School Receptionist/Admin

Forensic psychiatrist

Charity CEO

My company is the only one in UK who produces the main food product that we produce - so might be too outing! It tends to be working on products that we currently supply (to all major retailers) and reformulating (lower sugar/fat/salt) and a lot of paperwork! Before I started working in this career I had now idea the work that goes into getting a product on to the supermarket shelves
