Guest Spargo Report post Posted March 29, 2005 Professional Beer Tester / Stunt Cock. These two jobs are closely related, I can assure you. I also act as Rusty McAlpine's agent. Pity I haven't been able to get him anything other than roles in gay midget porn, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do in this business, eh Rusty?

*RJ* 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 Supply Chain Co-ordinator at a large Logistics company. Started nearly 3 years ago in the Uni holidays when we were small. Uni was going back and they asked me to stay part time in between my lectures. I made the decision to work their full time and study part time as I wasn't in any hurry to finish my degree and was enjoying the income. Managed to move into an office position after a year and I've now been in the office for 2 years. Really enjoy the company of the people I work with and *most* the customers I deal with. The company has grown from 10 people to about 40 over the 3 years and we've moved from a 20,000 square foot warehouse into a 45,000 square foot warehouse, soon to be 80,000... It's a great industry to be in at the moment with huge growth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaM 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 I work in parts, at one of the flasher workshops in palmerston north, servicing the workshop and retail blah blah blah used to work at transport wholesale just down the road, came to what i percieved was the highest I could move within the group...... was there for 18months when I was headhunted for here and a couple other places, didn't wanna leave the area. previous to that I worked after school, then full time with my old man, truck workshop while I decided what I "wanted to do" uni didn't appeal to me, although I had ample qualification to jump in there. secured my job at twl through mocking the rep, NEVER listen to anybody that says being a smartarse gets you nowhere, it's blatantly obvious that that's untrue, for me anyway munts: that debt collecting sounds like ALOT of fun, lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant 4 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 I work as a Visual Information System (VIS) Consultant with software that we have been developing (quite a new thing for me, and a product we are still very much getting off the ground) http://www.infinitysolutions.co.nz/Product...Systems%20(VIS) Prior to this I worked as a Business Consultant for RDT Pacific (and then subsequently Infinity Solutions, after they bought out RDT Pacific) for 7 years. I started at RDT Pacific straight after leaving University (I did a Bachelor of Management Study with hons - majoring in Strategic Management and Marketing, and also have completed a PGrad in Communication). I got the job while drinking booze with the ex CEO. He asked when I was finishing Uni, I said 8 weeks, and I started straight after that. Hence I have never had a job interview in my life, neither do I have a CV. While going through Uni (5 1/2 years for what I did) I worked about 30 - 40 hours a week in a video store, and also coached junior squash.
