Started off as an apprentice Screen Printer but company went bust 2 months after I joined. Should have realised that they were in fact just after some cheap labor.
Joined an Electrical Wholesaler and started off as a Junior Administrator before moving onto Sales. Didn't enjoy sales too much so transfered into the warehouse where I soon became Warehouse Manager before moving onto the courier side of things. The couriers were earning alot more money than me, even though I transformed the way the warehouse worked, which they still use the same system today, 11 years after leaving them.
Done more courier work before entering the world of fibreoptics. Nowadays, I'm a full time mug :(

Head Housekeeper in hotels for 13 years (really exciting!), moved around hotels, London twice, Chester, Shropshire, Tewkesbury, Stratford Upon Avon. Nanny for a wonderful little girl (who will be 20 this year), also in a hotel, in Wales. Programme Manager / NVQ Assessor at a college delivering Business Admin, Customer Service, Maths, English, IT at present. I have done courses on manicure, pedicure and depilation and hope to try and fit in more beauty courses in the next 12 months in preparation for moving to Cyprus next year, I would like to do something a little different when I move, and hopefully the more skills I have the easier it will be to find work!
