    My kind of job

    Posted by KT on June 5, 2008

    I think the kind of job that appeals to me most is Front Desk or Concierge. They aren’t particularly well paid but you don’t need a vast amount of work experience to get them either (i.e. I wouldn’t have to take a year out to study for a diploma), and it’s not as though I’m making any kind of fortune in the library world. I’d probably lose $6 or $7 an hour in the first instance but if I could work my way up to supervisory or management roles the wage would go up too. If it had the right sort of benefits like this one advertised here, then I wouldn’t care so much about the money.
