Sales ‘Co-ordinator’ for Harvey Norman Commercial Division.

We are NOT a Retail store, we have an ‘appointment only’ showroom not open to the general public
We supply home builders like Masterton / Clarendon etc , architects & developers with anything they need to fit out a home / Hi rise block, townhouse developments etc etc. Its a huge business with 200+ people and a 100 million$ turnover

I am in the AV section, I don’t sell product , we have sales guys that do that, then the jobs come to me , I organise ordering & supply of gear to sites as well as a LOT of WH and administrative duties for the dept – an all-rounder I guess.

Been with em 20 years !

Maintenance Fitter and Turner on rotating 12hr shift  (((
Work at a Aluminium Smelter, we are on call, so when an operator wrecks something or machinery breaks down we go out and fix it.  There are two Shift fitters and two shift electricians on each shift.

I work in IT, building software to automate the testing of applications. Put simply, it is my job to make a computer perform tasks currently performed by a human, thereby removing the need for the human. Fortunately, I have never actually made anybody redundant, so I like to think that I just make life easier for the people I work with.

I'm a burnt out IT person... I've been maintaining Networks, SANS and imaging for too many years  :D I seldom work with PCs and notebooks, more or less I work with backend services and directories..
