Until 8 weeks ago I'd have said my dream job was the one I had as a retail manager for a mobile retailer, that was until I was told I was being made redundant.
I was very lucky (right place at the right time) that an ex employee wandered into my store 4 days after I had been told I was being given the elbow and told me they were looking for staff where he worked and I should email my CV, within 10 days of being told I was to be made redundant I managed to land a job as a service advisor/manager working for Audi.
I've swapped the noisey high street for a quiet showroom, where instead of phones to look at I have an R8 next to my desk, plus I earn more money and my role is easier and less stressful.
plus (when I can get contact order sorted) I have weekends off to see my son, so all round I wouldn't swap my job.
and the silver lining was i'd been in my last job for 8 years so got a nice pay out!!!

Great story - really pleased that you found something so quickly and easily.
Did you even have to update your CV?
Now do I need to talk to you when I decide to buy my next A5 - obviously for a hefty discount!!!
I did have to up-date my CV but did this in the work time of my last employer 😆
I can discount service cost but not sales i'm afraid.

Looks like I got one of the dream jobs - I now work for a Chocolate company, not as a taster, but constantly have chocolate on hand 😀
I'd be the size of a house if I had constant access to chocolate 😳
I probably will be 😆
I am a qualified Electrical engineer, currently doing nothing of the sort, working in an office role, for a central heating firm, Im actually good at it, and I enjoy the work, I would say my boss's job, purely because, there is nowhere to go but up.
I wouldnt say this is my dream job, but its not bad, I think my dream job would be to have my own paintball/airsoft field. or perhaps to own the New Orleans Saints!
I would like to turn back the clock and then I would want to be a stay at home mum, and have a veg patch and, live by the sea
...Can you guess?...I'd like to be an agony aunt!! 😆
...Or a celebrant. 🙂
i second that having your own airsoft site would be so cool.
i would love to be a fighter jet pilot!
or a deep sea treasure hunter like that programme on that quest channel or if i could go back in time a wild west cowboy or a pirate.
I applied to the RAF to be a fighter pilot when I was 24, unfortunately the cut-off age was 23 1/2 so I missed it by a few months, and didn't want to be a navigator (which I was still young enough for) - would have been a lot of fun.
