9th year in IT, 2nd job (but 3rd role in this company).
Dusted off my CV last night, read through it, realised how long I've been here, wept. |
21st July 2010, 09:51 | #163 |
I felt shocked
|
In last 17yrs I've been in 6 jobs (One of them was same place twice, redundancy then rehire) As well as a 2yr break working from home.

1 year of part time professional photography (i.e. getting paid for it, but not enough to get rid of the day job) can be added to the list though

Been at my current work for 12 years & 1 month but have had approx 10 different roles here. As long as pay goes up, and I can pick and choose what to work on, it's all good.

Man I've lost track of how many place I've worked over the years but...
Vertigo Computers - Sales Meeple - bout a year and a half MFish - data entry then information officer - bout 4 years Mobil Oil - Customer Service (phone flunk) - 9 months (King of the Temps) Bar Bodega - Events organiser - on and off over a year (gig slave) MinEd - various postions (data entry / data validation) 8 - 10 months MinHealth - Data Validation - probably about 5-6 months HP - Phone flunky - various contracts, probably about 5 months in total Domainz - Customer Services whipping horse - bout 7 months MoRST - Data validation / office flunky - bout a year ERMA NZ - Contact Centre Team Leader (meh I WAS the contact centre) - 5 years Victoria University (SEFTMS)- Research Assistant - as of now 2 weeks :-) In amongst all that various short term temp contracts, probably 15 - 20 during a 2 year period. Also playing in bands - which, yes, I did actually earn some money from, enough to kinda live off. Also various jobs doing gardening, builders assistant (general labourer), house painting, survey work, theatre hand and report writing (private contracts). Had a few periods of sustained unemployment (more than 3 months at a time), drew a benefit for a bit - but also busked to support myself (which I DID declare despite the fact I probably could have gotten away with not doing so). I'd probably say maybe 40+ different jobs over a 22 year period (since 16). Pixie
