Career -
I decided at the tender age of 17 to leave College in 2009 during six form whilst I was balancing College with evening work at Argos. This was really tough and something had to give. I decided to leave College to work more hours at Argos, seemed silly but it just felt right....And I haven't look back since.
Worked a few weeks basically full-time at Argos and got approached by D&M Sports (Cricket Clothing brand);
Jan - June 2009 - Sales Rep
June - Feb 2010 - Sales Account Manager
Feb - July 2011 - Shop Manager Of Leicestershire CCC
August 2011 - September 2011 - Sales Assistant at a local School Uniform Shop
September (School Uniform Shop) - Sales Manager
After having a breakfast meeting this morning with the local business peer group, I learnt that a lot of business can be created just by people knowing who you are and what you do. For instance ^ above with Tom's car...I just found it very interesting, if you have a small business then check for the local peer group.

I am Interim Web Development Team Leader for Cosmos Holidays / Monarch Airlines - Rock and Roll!!!!!

My job title is 'Senior Business Support Engineer' but that doesn't mean much really. I work for BAe Systems in the Military Aircraft division, more specifically in the planning department for the detail manufacturing section.
I mainly work on the reporting side of things, using Crystal Reports to extract cost & performance data from various business systems.
Over the last couple of years this has evolved into creating data warehouses using SAP Business Objects Data Integrator to enable us to manage and manipulate our reporting data more effectively.
The most recent string to my bow is creating Windows .NET applications that allow our customers to interact with information in the data warehouses.
I'm also about to complete the ISEB International Diploma in Business Analysis (just my oral exam left to sit in November)
...congratulations to anyone who understood all of that!
-
seems we have some bright sparks on the forum!!!
-
Despite my earlier post I thought you should know that I'm an entrepreneur. I invented to bible, created Gunn and Moore cricket, founded the word 'bouncebackability' as well as having a massive stake in Lucozade and investing my money into them contributing to half their profits for the last 5 year in a row.

I am building those BOBJ systems fella, and doing the configuration for Crystal reporting, Single sign on for the stores reporting systems, InfoView, etc! As well as installing, and patching the SAP Integration modules for the BOBJ and WEB servers and applying the Integration setup for the Business Warehousing system.
Business Objects seems to be a decent thing to learn so I'm glad I working on it! Next contract should be interesting considering there are no SAP BOBJ Consultants anywhere! ;)
You happy where you are Johnny, or were you thinking of increasing your salary somewhat?
-
In simple terms i work at a scrapyard. My title is 'office manager' but doesnt mean alot as i do a variety of different jobs :D

I'm just a lowly Contractor fella - but I have been told that the demand for SAP BOBJ skills is through the roof with nobody available!! So rates go through the roof too!

Nice one :)

It's really good fun actually. As you can imagine, some of the kids are pretty challenging but its much more interesting than coaching cricket to most of the public prep school kids.

Territory Manager for Travis Perkins.
We have 600+ Branches nationwide so if any of you are planning any extensions or other building work and refurbs; give me a shout.
I am sure there are many Clubs out there that will now be planning the construction of new pavilion's, scoreboxes etc or maybe just refurbing.
As a fellow cricket volunteer; I can help to keep those costs down so give me a bell if your Club is to undergo any work this winter and I will do my best for you.
