Student admissions... I work at a school. used to work at a hospital though
Oh, yeah. Me too. Forgot that in my list. Worked as a unit clerk in the ICU's at a university hospital. Mostly Neuro, but also covered surgery, burn and thoracic as needed.
I have been a desk clerk at a hotel, did the fast food also when I was a teenager, store manager for a video company, movie 'productions' ( for about 2 years... not main stream movies ) , Auto glass installer for a year, Lab tech, er/trauma nurse, and a few other moonlighting jobs.
I am a nurse, I have been so for 9 years. I specialize in alzheimers/elderly care.
But right now, I have a more important , pressing job. Stay at home mommy. :-)

Can you get me some cigars?
In between chores at home growing up we learned how to run a saw, bang a nail and drive a screw. How to re-wire a lamp or a wall switch. How to hang wallpaper, paint a fence or the filigree running around the porches. One never said anything about being bored or having nothing to do for fear you'd find yourself in the cellar washing out the two hundred canning jars or helping to sort out the clothes donation for the "poor" families across town.
I was volunteered for my worst job: Stacking bricks, two at a time, into ten foot by five foot rectangles six foot high. No money, just helping a neighbor friend of dad's. My hands bled right through the gloves.
First job for pay: age 8, lawnmower. Not my dad's, we got fed and watered for that, this was real pay for a real job.

Just started a job search -- a few nibbles, nothing definite yet.
I'm a Civil Servent...recently transferred to a Job Centre nearer home (Didsbury, manchester). I am the manager of Jobseeker's Allowance section (unemployment)...do I qualify as having the most safe, 'penpushy-type' job?
I'm wild at heart though!
Claim to fame: at my last post I was banned from a whole floor of the building (third - managers) for being too noisy...<smorgs chest puffs with great pride> :wink:

What kind of station was it, like, an activist type thing or more a neighbourhood-sense thing?
We organised a network of minority community media here (both national and European), and those are sometimes involved in the broader community media movement ... Do you know about AMARC and
Voices Without Frontiers / Voix Sans Frontieres?
I know a bit & am now about to learn more, nimh!
Melbourne is a very community radio city!
I has been for quite a number of years now. You can take your pick about which variety to become involved in: Music (all varieties from nostalgia to the last word in cool
), local community issues, etc, etc .... I chose the political activist variety. It was was quite an experience: all varieties of trade unions, gay rights, Aboriginal rights, environmental issues, womens' issues, alternative news, international politics/rights, etc, etc ..... I learned so much from others during that time! You could find yourself making a cup of coffee next to a Central American activist, a wharfie or a Friend of the Earth, etc .... And of course, switchboard duty, cleaning & station duty were all part of the deal. That place kept me so busy! And you can just imagine the in-house debates on policy & practice! :wink:
I'm very impressed with the resumes that have been posted! Me, I've basically been working for the same company since 1974.
Anybody getting close to retirement of some sort?
That sounds really cool msolga. I've never been at one of the meetings of our community radio network - I do the other network, the minority ngo's who do monitoring research and stuff. Those generally be kind of shy, polite people my age, but the community radio network on the other hand, I gather from my colleague, is quite the collection of folks <grins>. The after-meeting dinners and drinks are apparently much more fun, but the meetings ... well les just say nobody wants to chair those ;-)
I chaired community meetings on building/land use issues and, let's just say, I'm still resting, some years later.
