I work for Bradford Council, for a small team called Supporting People. We provide funding for housing related support for those who need it (older people, people with learning disabilities, mental health problems and a wide wide range of other services)

Erm...around £42-43K I think, I'm not too sure. Whether or not you'd get that depends on what area you work in. i.e. Signals or P-Way. Oh and of course, it wouldn't just be a job you'd be able to walk straight into.

, you can't be a shovel technician then, whats your actuall job ect?

Also anyone who works on oil rigs, whats you job and how did you get there. Looked on the bp website but looks liek you need a minium of an engineering degree.

yep S&T, so what do you have to do to get there?

Mikeyboy · 1 Mar 2006 at 17:25

I did a 4 year apprenticeship with LU and got trained that way. The only other ways I know of doing it are by joining as the lowest grade of staff and work your way up through the ranks by doing the various courses, or by getting 'fast-tracked' through which usually takes about a year. Although I'm not sure whether they are still doing that at the moment.

If you're serious, then your best bet is to have a root around either Metronets or TubeLines' websites for vacancies and contact them for more information.

We just moved into the brand new building after Christmas.

Quite suprisingly, the kids haven't wrecked everything yet.

Looks like the Northampton Academy to me, if so my girlfriend is in 6th form there.. Surprised she hasn't wrecked the joint yet!

And I work for Avon Cosmetics in Northampton... In the IT support group

I used to do that when I worked at a builders merchants.

We had a crappy system where we entered four letters of the product name, got a selection of possible products and had to scroll through them to find the right one.
I found that if you entered the product code it would find the item immediately so I started memorising the codes for popular products (e.g. Portland cement 25Kg was 10556).
My supervisor used to shake his head when he saw me helping one of the other guys out and mouth "sad *******" at me

where do you all work?
