I am a University student at the University of Bedfordshire. Natural progression from 6th form, doing something I've always had a flair for, Marketing & Media Practice.
I also work at Spar (convenience store).
I am a Supervisor.
It was the only job going at the time. The pay isn't great, but the work is easy and they fit it around Uni.
I also work at The Storage Equipment Centre.
I am a Marketing Assistant/work experience position.
It was advertised on the University job website. I was the first to call, first & only to be interviewed and I got the job.

Dimension Data. We work onsite at Airbus managing their networks.
Call manager. Manage any incidents or requests for changes to the network. Not a lot to do but gives me exposure to the technical side of things and they encourage me to study.
Got a phone call from an agency who had found my CV on the net and wanted to put me forward for the job.
Currently looking for something else as I need a permanent position

Deal with itboxes, but now onto more advanced things, where the job title "networking engineer" actually makes sense.
Got the job through reed.co.uk.
I'm pleased with it, as its very good pay for my age.
