i want a new job, i sit in a crappy office all day doing payroll and i hate it now.
i have my hand in every payroll we do and i have my own payroll im responisble for - just stop me dyng from bordem
I was only hired as a Admin assistant, not Payroll assistant, i get £3500 less per year than the payroll assistants, i am experienced in 12 payrolls where as they can only do 2-3 
i have only been there for 6 months and have picked it up pretty quick by the looks of things, but it takes the piss that i get so little money in comparison
I want to do a different job where i don't sit on my arse all day in an office, i can feel myself turning into a FAT BASTARD 
n e suggestions?
I really don't want to be stuck in an office
im 21 BTW, with just A-levels ( not very good at that )

look at the website then, have a good read throught it all and see if you like the idea of it. Only live once so you dont want to be stuck in a job which you dont enjoy.

They prefer a bit of life experience first. How many policeman do you see at 20 years old? Not many. I'm gonna wait a year or so. There's always going to be a demand for Policeman. Check out the Policecouldyou website and read up. I think it'll be a great career as its different everyday, except for the first 2 years. Training, training, training...................... And think of the pension
