quote: 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). | |

quote: if you know your computer shite and know alot about broadband etc etc then apply for technical support in a ISP near you. 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 :) | |

yer massive inland rev offices near me. 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? | |

quote: 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 [Edited on 16-06-2004 by liam_nufc] | |
