Queen of Dulwich Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I work in a bank - but please don't tell anyone. Is that creative? I guess it depends on the department. ;-):-)Am bored out of my mind and am looking for a career change or at least a new job (as are all my colleagues). I am living abroad (in London). Volunteering never crossed my mind - am sceptical of established charities and haven't really found anything that would make me want to dedicate time and money on a regular basis.Strange combination of questions, Ms. What about you?

Jah Lush Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 It's no secret that I have a very unfulfilling job at MI6 and would like a change of career. I'm thinking of going into high finance. Perhaps a bank job. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11714-careers/#findComment-330950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMBJones Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I think if I changed my job I would be lynched on Goose Green, although I always fancied my own restaurant..... Lastly I did a small stint in the Romanian orphanges many many years agoBarry JonesArea Station Manager Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/11714-careers/#findComment-330925 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jah Lush Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Aaah... but I've read your file Narnia. The Chronicles Of Narnia by C.S. Lewis and very popular reading it was too. Do you have any experience of bank robbery? Or is all just a pipe dream?

So, much as I might like a bank, I wouldn't trust myself to get out. Pipe dream it is.

Marmora Man Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Husband, father, sailor, NHS manager, Company director, Interim Manager (specialising in turnaround projects). Happy in all roles - always prepared to consider something new, fulfilling and rewarding. Probably not a bank manager tho.

SteveT Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 The last forty years I have spent in business, the first 12 years as a partner in retail outlets. I then started my own thing in the medical industry which I still do but on a greatly reduced level. Along the way have helped a few people start up in business and feel that I was always better at starting businesses than running them long term.I also have a partnership in a metal company run completely by my partner and his wife, and an interest in a powder coatings company.My greatest commercial disaster was in the mid 90's starting an internet company with the wrong man, whilst being computer illiterate, and I still am to this day.

giggirl Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 My job is dull dull dull but I always wanted to be a bank robber. Not your smash and grab type robber who shoots people or hits them on the head, but someone with a really clever plan who cleans up and gets away with it. Good news that there are so many wannabe bankers in ED because I'm going to need someone on the inside. All you bankers, please PM me the plans of your vaults, I'm eager to get on with it. This evening I'm mostly drinking red wine and lusting after this:http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/95248I would lay-low between jobs so I'd have time for some volunteering then.That's the plan.

dulwichmum Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Sweet giggirl,I am wearing that dress right now! I had to wear a slip underneath it this morning as the badly finished acrylic fabric causes the most frightful chaffing. I shall be tossing it in the bin before bed time.I am a momshell (naturellement) and career mother. I have a fabulous job in PR and my darling man is a complete banker. We are literally tripping over great stacks of cash piled up and lying all around our home (sigh).
