I thought I had no clue for this question and then a thought popped into my head: perhaps the tropy wives (and husband's) of the attendees at the World Economic Forum in Davos might need a ski/snowboard guide to entertain them whilst their partners were busy running the world.....

Oh no. No. Trying to manage a large group of children is my idea of a living hell!

Individually, I can handle them briefly. Small children seem to like me since I went blonde! From when I was a little girl, I wanted to own a shoe shop with a funky fitting machine and sell shoes to children.

What would you lot choose to be doing for a living if you weren't doing what you do?

A nurse..or a special needs teacher.

Or a return to my old line of work, working for a shipping line in imports doing customer services, shipping law and private accounts.

I'd like to do some thing creative. My creative talents are limited however.

Eit...it would be fun to be part of an artistic moment, a zeitgeist. I'd be happy just to make the tea or pour the champagne really.

I would have a book and stationery shop.
Not sure that I'd let anyone in to buy, though - and I would restrict the categories of books as well!

I do wish I had known when I was young and slim that it's possible tomake a living as a bellydancer. Bit late now.

When I look back I'm actually really lucky. I've made money in a couple of things I genuinely liked aspects of.

I don't think I would ever be happy with just one main interest or job. Its just not me. I get restless now.

I came across this. Any thoughts on what the recruitment policy might be for:

1. Senior management
2. Everyone else

They've taken it off their site, and it now reads….

14 Nov 2013
You may have noticed that we no longer have a ”meet the staff” page. Following a rise in visits to our website and mentions of the company through certain media channels in relation to our recruitment policy, we have chosen to remove it from the website indefinitely.

We took this decision in consultation with our staff who are rightly concerned about being posted around the internet by people making inaccurate and inappropriate comments about our staff and our recruitment policies. The “meet the staff” page was designed for our clients to put a face to the name of the people they deal with here and now that page has been taken out of context we feel it is no longer appropriate.

We are an equal opportunities employer and will remain so. We are proud of our team and remain committed to their individual development.

Hmmmmmmm

I bet that's not the first time the MD's asked them which one would like a fork

The bloke at the back looks a bit dodgy too. Not quite sure what he's going to do with that spade :eek:
