Just wondering what everybody does for a living, and did you do the same back in the UK xx

I'm at uni part time and work part time as an Executive Assistant to a Venture Capitalist who specialises in raising equity globally for sustainable energy companies.

Back in the UK I worked for Mirror Group (newspapers) as a Promotions Coordinator (basically all the back end stuff of the competitions in the paper) and also a Group PA at Pricewaterhouse Coopers, London.

Since I've been in Bris (8 yrs) I've worked a Marketing Coordinator for a fine wine company (Cristal champagne and the like), Client Service Manager for a Management Consultant and as the EA to the Consul-General at the British Consulate.

All very different roles! How about you?

I did the same thing (web and graphic design, not rhinosaroo hunting) many years ago back in Wales but took time out to be a 'stay at home dad'.
