What do you do? (1 Viewer)

[snakybus]

kind of flukey - i was working in hodges figgis trying to pay off my debts and not succeeding terribly well (doing a masters in religious history != a great way to walk into a well paid job) when a friend of mine said the company she worked for was looking for writers, and that they didn't care whether you had any experience/training as long as you could write and had technical aptitude.

got the job, discovered that i was actually really good at the technical end of things, picked up some programming languages/tech skills, and, er, several jobs and eight years later, here i am.

and i'm still procrastinating....

Hot off the presses from The Social. The Miniature is trying to encourage uptake of the scheme(s).

Hope it works out.
