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

I can't tell you, it's too outing ( come on someone had to). It really is though - for a long time I was the only one in the UK and even now there are less than five of us.

Indeed. Nursery workers have the hardest job I can imagine.

Data manager in a secondary school.

University administrator dealing mainly with academic integrity and ethics breaches.

Counsellor- self-employed private practice

Literary translator

Civil servant for a multinational government organisation. Not UK based

😉😉😉

Head of Ecomonic Crime and MLRO

Finance company.

But I'd probably be a good launderer 😂

Coffee shop owner so also chef, baker, barista, hr, admin, purchasing....absolutely love it!

Customer assistant at Tesco

Same

Retired University chef. Loved it for 44 years, cooking 800 meals per day.
Hard work, but we loved our students.
During the holidays we turned into a conference centre, so did experience fine dining, BBQ's Anniversary celebrations, weddings etc
Great job.

Which bit? the proof reading or the radiography?

Not going to ADC tomorrow are you?

Occupational therapist in an acute hospital

Literary translator

Ooh I'd definitely fancy that. Do you enjoy it?

I'm a secondary school teacher (MFL). One of the few happy ones these days, it seems. I'm very, very lucky to work in a lovely, supportive school.

Receptionist in a high school (I promise I'm nice)! 😉

Receptionist in a high school (I promise I'm nice)! 😉

I'm sure you are! I've liked the receptionists in every single school I've ever worked in. They are always great.

Accountant.

MI6? 😱

Used to be a civil law barrister. Now a student coordinator in a university. Much happier :-)

LOL I hope more than 5 people work at MI6!!

Nothing like that, just extremely niche and not everyone's cup of tea, though I love it

Director at a small not for profit. I do fundraising, programme design, monitoring and evaluation, bits of HR, governance.. it's manic but mostly enjoyable.

This thread is like that Simpsons episode where Lisa worries that she has her dad’s genes for intelligence. So Marge rounds up all the Simpson women on Homer’s side and they say what their jobs are. Showing that the Simpson women are high achievers and only the men drew the short straw.

Go girls.

Business Coach and Consultant (not MLM 🙈) A real one.
