Im bored and being nosey, so ill get this thread started.

I work as a Business Administrator, Training for Level 2 Business Admin NVQ

I also teach microsoft office to learners for a course this company also does.

I went from sponging off the goverment (job seekers) to this fine little job £5.80 ph, so yeh it proves even if your at your lowest in life, you can sort it out.:thumbup2:

Nothing anymore...after 3 years of bars and restaurants I got sick of it and finally left. So now I'm doing sod all and hating it. Don't have a clue what career path to take and I can't get an interview anywhere! Sucks to be me right now...

What exactly is a business administrator? All these titles mean nothing to me :/

I did Business Admin lvl2 and 3. Basically Administration work, but more advanced than a normal Admin NVQ.
Goes down the line of management, databases, IT, administration etc.

I work as an IT Systems Technician, thinking of moving into something different though, or staying in the IT side of things but for a different company with different ways of working.

How do you get in to something like that...

If I send a company my cv they just reject it cos I have no direct experience...

Its the loop hole, Its hard to fall into something like what were doing, As you need experience to get the job however this job provides experience and training for free in thier time so its all good you just need to look out for jobs advertised where experience and traning is offered also go take your c.v to be done properly it always helps, we offer a C.V service at our company i can do you a professional C.V for the price of £5 if need be.

Get into something like what? Doing a Business Admin NVQ or the job I'm doing?

I started as an apprentice at 16 getting paid £60 a week to do an NVQ, crap money but at that age I didnt need loads. Once I passed that i got a simple admin job for the company I work at now ,which is a training company. They offered to put me through a Level3 NVQ for free.
I then just pushed my way into the IT Team at the company by constantly showing an interest and getting as much knowledge on the systems we used.
