Again question is how doyou work yourr way up to get these jobs? There is nothing lower than a Trainee to start from.

The bottom Phil - my brother started as a telephone support person - not doing anything technical at all. But, he did it well - he worked and worked, was helpful and polite, and spoke to everyone.

Heres a song for you phil

The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread
Oh, woe is me
My life is a misery
Oh, can't you see
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer
I woke up this morning with a start when I fell out of bed

Rocky Horror! Fab!

What The flipping trainee post is where you could start from. In another company it might be general admin, secretary, whatever the type of place it is. It depends on what the job spec is. Read that, see if you can match your skills on paper and apply. Try applying for a variety of roles, not just higher paid ones and see what happens. Go into an agency. Explain what qualifications you have, skills etc and they will be able to match you to something suitable.

or just sit here, start a thread that continues for up to and beyond 20 pages, on what qualifications you have, which is best.. agency or applying straight out to a company, and then ignore every single bit of advice you get given, pretty much a norm with all your threads phil!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
