I've worked for the same company on and off for 7 years. Basically Part Time Office Administrator for a Trade Services company. We do all the maintenance work plumbing, electrical, painting, building) for property managers, landlords and commercial businesses. I did payroll, quotes, booking of jobs, invoicing, all sorts. I'm supposed to go back in August.
Before that job I was a Recruitment Consultant specialising in placing people in call centres. Before that I worked for Trust Bank/Westpactrust/Westpac as a CSR for four years.

I am/was a physiotherapist (spent the last 18months working just weekends, but 2 years full time before that). I mainly work in respiratory, so that is surgical ward and intensive care unit. Undecided as to whether I will go back later this year.

Primary school teacher, New Entrants/ Year 1. I went straight from High School to Uni to teaching.
I'm not planning on going back full time until Cooper is school aged, but I will do the odd day relieving just to keep my foot in the door.

Electrician and have been for 10 years. Worked part time when pregnant and took about 6 months maternity leave, am now working part time again from home on a very casual basis at the moment, am aiming to do 10+ hours a week so am more of a SAHM than anything else at the moment. I would gladly just be a SAHM but that little bit of extra cash helps to buy luxuries and pay for my petrol, coffee with friends etc and allows us to save a little too.
I also have a jewellery business and my long term goal is to be self employed doing that, so that is a complete change from being a sparky.

Was a student pre-kids, finished uni when Maya was a year old, wrote a book (it's not as exciting as it sounds!) then started working for OHbaby! and have been here ever since except a few months off to have the gremlins. I heart my job.
