How many jobs have you had?

lizzy67 - think they use superglue now!

NotSpaghetti - I do believe you could be right there!

I left school in 1959, aged 16. I worked as a GPO telephonist until 1964, then no job for several years, too busy having babies! I then worked the twilight shift at a local cotton mill for a few months, as a cone winder. I did a temporary filing clerk job for a week at another local factory, then one Christmas I worked the evening shift for a week at another factory, packing cloths similar to Jaycloths into their packets. I then worked as a packer at our local Boots warehouse for a year before moving over here, where I found a job in the box shop of a local printing factory, making up cardboard boxes, but was later moved to the canteen, where I worked for over 14 years until I took voluntary redundancy aged 49. Haven`t worked since.

I've had 10 jobs & had to adapt my CV to show the most pertinent so it didn't expand over many pages! However, the changes in role were not always my fault & after the 4th redundancy in 10 years, I decided to start-up as a self-employed Virtual Assistant instead of looking for a further employed post. Now in my mid 50s, being a VA is ideal to reduce stress & regain a good work-life balance for the next 10-15 years until I can retire.
