    But you say yourself your typing speed is slow and you have no particular specialism to offer and you swear at people.

    That's all part of the charm ;)
    In all seriousness though. My typing speed is not slow. My typing speed is probably 90th percentile and although I'm a bit of a pain in the !!!, I can write better than 95% of the population and I can apply intelligence a vast amount of people don't have. I have a lot to offer, and I don't care if my experience is limited. Considering I handled my last appointment better than the lady who did it in the morning and she's been there 6 years-- I'm gonna say I'd be worth a punt.

    Where do you live? I live in London and there are loads of temping PA type jobs around. Very often we don't get candidates with the right skills applying. NHS bank work is a good bet - can you audio type? In London, 8 Trusts have just recruited for bank admin/secretarial staff!

    Unfortunately, I don't live in London. I'm midlands based :)

    BTW, there is such a thing as number recognition - you may not give your name when you are offensive to people, but that does not mean that they don't know who you are, or that there isn't a record of your interactions with them.
