Software Development Manager for a HealthCare software company at the moment, but I have myself a new job. I'll be going back a peg as a senior software engineer for an automotive financial company. It's a good move though.

It's closer to home, less pressure, more pay!

Dude think about it... Is student an occupation?

Just put unemployed and be done with it.

And before some smartarse points out that unemployed isn't an occupation either, I know. But at least it is relevant!

I put sticker's on apples, on some occasions oranges and bannans to. Not the most exciting work in the world but it pays the bills.

Hang on, you’ve gone from “office manager” to “administration and quality control manager”. everyone knows that the office chicks do all the hard work. Don’t sell yourself short. : :
