fex Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) What job are you doing at present? Do you enjoy it? What is your dream job? (realistically what you would like to do) How will you get to that job? Training, moving away etc. At the minute I am working at Woolworths after finishing Uni in May. I have had a lazy summer, but now I feel its time to get my arse in gear to find a career. Ideally I would like to have a creative job within the media, something to do with design and film (not exactly sure precisely what) Having no work experience I'm struggling to find a job. I will look for work experience, but this will mean moving away as theres nothing around the Scunthorpe area. ________ LovelyWendie99 Edited April 28, 2011 by fex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raining_again Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Working in a call centre for district nurses... I know the job absolutely in and out, and know most of the phone numbers of the people that ring, without even having to ask. Its good being in that sort of comfort zone where you know what your doing, and rarely something unexpected happens ^_^ Don't have massive hopes or aims for a job...more money would be nice, but along with that comes a tonne of responsibilities and stress.

Noodleman Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I work on an IT helpdesk, I like the place its a good company to work for great co-workers etc. It's very boring though and the 50 mins travel each way is starting to fuck me off. Still its only until September. In an ideal world I would love to be a film director but that wont happen. Quite seriously looking at doing some exams and doing freelance SQL Server work in London after my friend let slip some of the people he works with get £300 a day, yes a day for maintaing company databases. Sounds like a good job tbh, if you're good enough you can work for 6 months earn 40 grand then take 6 months off. I want in on that action basicaly.

Ashley Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 My current job is definatly not my dream job; assistant manager at Game. Its alright. But not really the ideal job for a uni student as its just a lot of un-needed stress, when in fact I need funsies times. Leaving it soon...maybe. Thinking of becoming a Saturday kid again, just to earn some money. But dunno if I'd like to take orders off some newb. My dream job...I dunno. Probably showrunner but I dunno if I can, as in I have the actual ability or drive. I always say my backup job is lecturer as media comes easily to me (would wish to lecturer in TV) and I do find it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I don't have a job at the mo as i'm doing my A levels. My dream job would be to be to join the Navy/RAF as a helicopter pilot. Although this dream is abit out of reach seeing as i have both asthma and shit vision. So my new one would be to do something with the sea, i don't know what it is yet, but something on the coast.

DCK Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 My current 'job' is to convince people to come study Informatics at the University of Twente. I'm part of the promotions team, and it's real fun, and the pay is just ridicilously good. Anyway, my dream job is to develop new ways of interaction with computer systems. That sounds terribly boring, but working in that area allows for creativity, thinking out of the box (I love out of the box) and could potentially really change something. Might start my own company. Still on course to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramar Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I currently work nights at a supermarket, basically very few hours, lots of money and fits my studies. Dream job - Um... Footballer, clichéd but I love the sport. That's out the window, so now I'd like to have lead role in a major games company and be involved in making an epic game.

Will Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Currently I'm an Analyst for a games publisher. Lots of fun, get to see new games before they're out, have access to actual sales figures so can follow arguments about which machine is better and then just state quite blatantly the actual situation. Get to do a few cool promotional things and best of all free games! Dream job would be an F1 driver, haha! Not very likely and I'm sure I wouldn't be too good at it but I'd take a pay cut for a chance. Realistic aim is to move into game production. Hopefully work a little while longer in my current role and then see what comes up. Trying to learn a bit of Japanese at the moment which would help with working on Japanese titles rather than UK or US ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
