I did some HR at uni, and the number of people I've come across in that field who excel in turning the straightforward into the incredibly complicated and drawn out amazes me.

[larrikin]

Agreed. Apparently if you attach the word 'management' to a position, it makes it more important.

Project Manager in Engineering/Construction is usually a legit term though.

Meant to reply to this thread before, but I had an unfortunate incident involving a coloured card.

You can add another to the list of accountants (recently chartered) for me.

We must have lots of spare time at work, so many of us are serial posters on here...

[OneJ]

Full-time final year accounting & corporate finance student at UWA. Part time gigolo.




Oops i mean furniture sales & deliveries.

[thefamilyguy]

I work for Biomedical Engineering in the Health Department. Glorified receptionist really.

Just about to start I.T Information systems throught the open universtity, means i can work full time and study (hopefully) about 8 hours a week. Full university degree after 4 years in I.T.

I wonder how many hours are lost due to big footy. I assume most people are on here around an hour a day? ( for some that is a conservate estimate, others its way less )

We'll assume an hour a day. Thats at least 10,000 people ???? Is that way to many? average wage 15dollars? Being very conservative.

Thats 10 thousand people times 15 dollars equals 150,000 dollars a day.

Thats 54,750,000 dollars a year big footy is costing the australian workforce.

Thats amazing........ Keep up the good work guys!!:p

[EscapeHere]

Human Resources / Org Development

Organisational Development is related to HR?

Finally... I always wondered what our "Organisational Development Manager" at work did :D

[Rids]

I work as an actuarial advisor (god I hope there is someone here that knows what that is) and nearly fully qualified as an actuary.

Probably of more interest is a weekend job doing the stats for the AFL (well for Champion Data who are the AFL statisticians).
