Matey, if youve got good typing skills and dont mind a bit of boring work try and find out about your local Inland Revenue.

Ive just got a job with them just over the summer til September. Its canny boring as its just Data Entry, fillin in peoples tax return data and stuff, but pay stars on £4.50, and depending on how fast you can type, goes up to £6.60.

Theyre doing FT or PT as well so you could be in luck if you fancy it. If youre no good with a keyboard though dont bother! Just started my training today and had to do 5 hours keyboard training with stickers over the numbers and letters! Im not looking at the keyboard now like so thats one thing ive got out of it!!

If your a student it means no tax either. ;) I should make at least 2500 by September. :D

	And, before anyone asks, the DVORAK keyboard looks like this: It's apparently faster, because the QWERTY keyboard is DESIGNED to slow people down......it was designed when mechanical typewriters were used, so someone who typed too quickly would end up tangling the mechanical arms of the keys together.

Might give them a go, i'm pretty quick on the keyboard and don't look at the letters either. How fast do you have to be for £6.60 an hour, is that stupidly fast or what? Aye proper stupidly fast to be honest like. Im doing about 5000words an hour on average and am on I think its 4.70 at the minute, but was told that it'll go up and up as I go on. £6.60 you need to average 20,000words an hour!!!! :o:lol: Its easy money like, and can bring walkmans and stuff in to keep you occupied. Will do me til September! Errm, 20,000 words per hour is the equivalent of 333wpm......the world-record is currently 212wpm, held by some American woman (Barbara Blackburn); and that was only peak speed. Highest "maintained" speed with a QWERTY keyboard was 150wpm, or 170wpm with a DVORAK keyboard. Even 5,000wph is 83wpm, which is bloody impressive. I was told my test-results a few years ago of 72wpm (1% error rate) was one of the highest the test-centre had seen (it was only an temping-agency test-centre, though, so I didn't read too much into that).

I did that two summers ago and it was the sweetest 6 weeks of my life :thumbs: had to do trainer for 3 weeks, whilst still getting paid 5.50hr for. Then for the rest of the time i just sat and answered a load of emails. Didnt really have to go on the phones because i wasnt staying there long :thumbs: came out with about 1400 quid :)
