Hey there

Hiya

What's your job?

I'm an apprentice graphic/web designer.

Are you happy with your job, is it temporary, what job/career do you aim for?

Its an apprenticeship, and yes I'm extremely happy. I think I'm one of those rare people who genuinely enjoy doing their work and love the whole aspect of it.

How much do you earn? (Personal)

I'm on apprenticeship money, which isn't fantastic. But I'm young and I don't really care right now, its the opportunity and actual work that makes it fun.

Thanks,
Carl

You're welcome.

What's your job?

Support Analyst for a large south west company.

I work in the desktop support team supporting around 1500 users, 1200 desktops, 400 laptops, 400 printers and a whole host of other stuff. Basically anything a user touches we deal with. The basic job spec is 1st and 2nd line support and also systems design and implementation.

Over the years we've also taken on more work from other teams, so as well as desktop stuff we also do all the print servers, citrix servers, apps servers, networks, telephone systems etc.

I've been sat on project work for the last 18 months and it's much better, and will be very good in helping me move to what I want to do. The two big ones I'm working on atm are part of a smallish team upgrading the desktop OS across the board, and one which is pretty much just myself designing and implementing some mobile workign solutions.

Are you happy with your job, is it temporary, what job/career do you aim for?

Kind of, permenent (been there just over 3 years).

I feel I've done all I can in this role and want to move to more of a tech architect role but I'm finding it hard as everyone always wants oodles of experiance. While my current job title doesn't really suggest it, a lot of the stuff I do would be perfect for it Still I can just keep trying, sadly if I were to move away from the place I love I could probably get the job I want. The other half is from London way so a move up there isn't out of the question.

How much do you earn? (Personal)

Not enough, but then that's the price I pay for living down in the depths of Devon I guess.

Goes up twice yearly all being well but also get discounted share options which are worth their weight in gold

Thanks,
Carl

You're welcome

btw anyone else, gizza job? (seriously!!)

How did you get into your job? What do you actually do?

As for me:

Actual job title is Surface Mount Operator, but I haven't done that for weeks as the company has no work. So I do whatever I'm told too.

Earning 13k but I'm so sick of it. But I don't want to leave til I find something I actually want to do, otherwise I'm going to have a huge list of short jobs on my CV.

 

[M0KUJ1N]

Computing Officer at a University, so mainly Windows sysadmin with a bit of UNIX admin, teaching and web development thrown in for good measure.

With it being a Higher Education post, the pay is actually an insult (Im not even going to put it down as you wont believe me) but the pension, hours and holidays are pretty good.

Im considering looking for private sector work, or possibly going back to uni to do some more post-grad or train as a teacher.
