Just graduated but ive been a catering assistant for the past... 5 years or so?! Sucks. Easy money though. As most people can imagine I wanna get into TV and stuff - had my first bit of work experience on Monday, went up to Lotus in Norwich and spent all day filming an Exige S on their track, was amazing!

Jack of all trades...

Can't say much really, last summer I was doing the same kind of thing, fences, patios, decks. Good fun, might do the same when the weather picks up.

At the moment I'm doing bugger all really.

Im a T.O (Technical Operator) for BBC Oxford. Ive been in TV for just over 3 years now, daily I do studio cameras, sound and operations. At least once a week Im out on the road filming and often providing live camera into the programme. Very occasionally I get to film the fun stuff, rigging Giovanrdi's BTCC winning car and filming him ragging the life out of it at Thruxton (He also took me out and I almost filled my pants at 135mph aquaplaining into a bend, in the rain). Rigging a Radical SR8 and puking after four laps round Silverstone. Hondas F1 Launch....blah blah blah.

Its all good fun.

Before that and during Uni I was a freelance music photographer, I was sick of chasing money round Bristol, London, Bournemouth and Southampton so I decided I would rather have a regular monthly wage and began working at BBC South in Southampton.

I'm still working for BT, 7 years in now.

Changed things quite a bit really. I now sit on my arse in my office and play on computers all day. I work on a LLU team, which is a team that controls the Broadband side of BT, and also every other Broadband provider, like Carphone warehouse, Orange, Tiscali, Pipex, bulldog etc etc.

The majority of people who apply for Broadband in the UK, regardless of who it's with, have the job's that need to be done to get them online, completed by Contractors for BT. I decide which jobs are done when, and by who, then i issure the work out to the Contract managers who deploy their engineers. I also carry out Quality checks on the engineers, on their working practices and work quality.

I (not JUST me, but I as in, the team i work on) deal with faults that come in from the previous night's work, on a conference call i have each morning.

It pays the wages, plus i enjoy it, which is a bonus. Nobody wants to go to work dreading the day. I've done jobs like that and it's no good.

what are the perks? free phone/net?

Free 8mb Broadband, Free BT vision, discounts on loans, insurance, holidays, flights, shops, cars, food etc etc. Free shares, discounted share prices to buy them out of your wages BEFORE tax, great pension plans. Van, with fuel card, Mobile phone with £25 per month on it, depending on your job, a laptop of varying quality. (Mine's a beast lol) Too many things to mention really. If you can get into BT, do it....
