so what do you do for a living?

[softscoop]

My official title is IT administrator & Reports Writer. Basically means that I look after all of the IT, phones and cctv systems. I also write excel reports to get data out of our software for customers. I also seem to get lumbered with all of the odd jobs around the office too.

My job title is Senior Storage Consultant, but basically I'm an IT consultant specialising in Data Backup and Disaster Recovery for a large reseller based in Birmingham. I'm classed as a storage consultant because that's the team the backup guys got shoved into...

For 30 years I have writen news about capital projects/project management/programme management/architects, engineers etc. Worked for Construction News and The Engineer and then started my own newsletter. Totally impossible to cover it all. Not one sector I have not covered from Aldermaston to Faslane, oil platforms and gas terminals, aluminium rolling mills/steel sector, Maxwell's penthouse (remember him?) and pharmaceutical companies/research labs, airport/public sector consultants frameworks, logisitics/retail health sector and so on and so forth. Last ten years spent a lot of effort on the education sector. Just interviewed University of Westminster about its £150 million capital programe.

I'm an Audio Restoration Engineer at the minute (Think Re-Release of by gone music where Record and bad tape is the only copy... I fix it all up so it can go on CD with out sounding like someone just slapped a Dictaphone in front of it)..

But.. some would say stupidly, I'm throwing it in in Feb, for.... nothing!

Truth is I've got bored of London and the jobs getting slow... So, time for a change! I'm moving back to my hometown (Nottingham) I've been a few different AV / IT things over the years so hopefully I'll find something... I'm thinking Events PA and sound reinforcement might be fun to get into!

Have been working as onsite IT-Supporter for some large companies - one being Carlsberg.

I`m currently unemployed.

Luckily i`m in a...(what is that called in English?) - I am "stationed" with funding from the government on a public school.

I help out with IT-support etc., very nice job actually.

I`m 26 and not really used to kids, so a public school is a challenge.
