Tell us whereabouts you're living, the general travel-to-work area will be sufficient, eg say greater Manchester, Banbury or Bristol area or wherever you are, then we can all keep a look out for work opportunities for you.

going off the first paragraph I'm going to have a random guess he's 33 and living in London.

No I'm going to take some courses to get qualified. I was asking for advice on the route to go in looking to become an MI Analyst and taking SQL courses.

Being creative with my CV is the only way I have managed to get a job. It's not ideal but the way of the world these days. Experience is key so being creative seems to be the only way.

If I hadn't turned the bespoke finance software I have been trained on into Sage I have no doubts I would still be unemployed now.

SQL is not going to help yOu as much as Excel will as an analyst, no matter what other posters have told you. Informatica will get you the gig.
