Default different names for your employment

dotty posted a thread about what job you do

well this is slightly different because this is asking what other names your job has

many years ago i worked at sainsburys in the petrol station but on my cv i described myself as a fuel dispensing technician

likewise i worked in a chicken factory as well (i know great cv) i also described this as a humane resouceful post (because if you can say this the chickens were killed as humanley as possible)

ha ha many prospective employers must laugh at your job descriptions what are yours

hey as a fellow nurse i like to decribe myself as a celestial being with a glowing coloured apparatus (angel with the golden wings as my dad always called me ) but for my cv perhaps underpaid, undervalued and definitly s**t on from a great height at the moment

from a very cynical and not too happy (because of the worst shifts because i will be leaving soon) arlene

Hi Arlene,
great isn't it?

I had some fella last night who wanted me to give him a drink every 5 minutes because he couldn't find his own mouth. He'd only had abdo surgery and I might not be a surgeon but his mouth looked as though it was in the same place as it was pre-op.

I wouldn't normally mind but me other man with bleeding varices was making a mess on the nice clean floor at the same time.:scared:

Never mind at least they all still had a pulse when I left this morning.

Claire

I'm just about to go back tomorrow after 2 weeks off, to deal with an inquest!! Lovely thing to return to! What I want to know is, just when the money starts to pick up a little, why do you have to stop nursing? I've suddenly become a RESOURCE!!!!!!!
Still, better things to look forward to, eh??
