I've not had much really.

  • Bookkeeper (during my teens).
  • Sales Assistant.
  • Kitchen Assistant.
  • Charity Pusher on the streets (I morally quit this job within 3 weeks. It was hellish).
  • Claims Administrator at an Insurance Call Center.
  • Technical Support within that Call Center.
  • Content Co-ordinator. This weird title was actually my first proper coding title.
  • Oracle APEX Developer at my previous job. A title which has stuck through.

That's unless you want to take into account volunteer stuff at University.

  • Radio Host of multiple shows for 3 years.
  • DJ for club and charity events.
  • Vice-President of the Musicians Society.
  • Co-Founder of the Gentlemen's Society.
  • Assist Events Co-ordinator for the Student Radio Service.
