LOL.

What I've worked in since I quit education. I'd love an office job too!

aren't necessarily secretarial and a lot only ask for GCSEs and sometimes A Levels.

Also see customer service.

background reading about the post you're applying for.

That's what my girlfriend did when she applied for the tax office and she doesn't have a degree.

and i won't have a degree for another year.

to the wonderful world of administration. head straight for local government, collect a bigger paycheque.

then find something good and go permanent? Then apply for internal vacancies? Then start feeling sick and a bit dizzy?

I'd guess that 99% of jobs in Britain don't involve needing a degree or having to do difficult vocational training.

it's who you know & experience that matters...

That's what I did for a few years before Uni. Awful it was.

you get to lift heavy stuff and fix things that make you look manly. even tho they are fucking easy to fix. and you look manly.

also works if you work in an office full of girls

Have you considered filing. It sounds like you have what were looking for.

Only kidding! Don't get down. there's loads of jobs out there that dont require a degree or training. You just need to make the first tentative steps.

Often doesn't need anything other than the gift of the gab and a strong desire to earn shitloads(depending on what you're selling). If you can talk your way into the job you'd probably do well.

considering that I scraped through my GCSE's and failed my A levels miserably. I started as a temp at the place I work now on the helpdesk, then slowly made my way up.

a degree or training as long as you are knowledgable.

What you meant to ask is "what jobs will people allow you to have?"

The ability to do a job has little bearing on whether you will be offered a job....of course in theory they are meant to match up.

Have you considered becoming a policeman? They get paid good dosh....or even better a binman, they geet paid excellant dosh and you dont have to risk getting attacked or abused

I'm in a PA role now, and didn't finish my degree. I did have to start off with crap, boring admin stuff though.

start at the bottom and work your way up or sideways into the job you want.

music critic, stanidng at the back on your own, smoking and looking smug?
:(

it pays pretty well but it leaves my legs wanting exercise, my mind numb and my eyes hurting from staring at computer screens all day.

Good job I'm leaving in less than two weeks and going on holiday to Amsterdam, goodbye mothafuckas! (directed at fellow workers who, probably won't be reading this)

65k Basic plus up to 150K to spunk away on iPods, first class travel, fitted kitchens and M&S ready meals.

Are you in?
