This is something you probably wouldn't see many 23 year olds write.
I'm still on my first job.
I left school aged 17 in February 2009 and literally spent 9 months giving CVs out to various places, even places where I really did not want to work. I'm one of those people who never knew what I wanted to do when I completed my education.
The big break came when my mum went to a doctors appointment, which happened to be with the boss who my mum knew pretty well. She explained how hard I'd been trying to get a job and he actually offered to give me a 6 month contract to see how I got on! This was 2 days after my 18th Birthday. I didn't even need an interview which was handy as I suck at them, I really physically cannot promote myself.
So yep, here I am 5 and a half years on, still a doctor's receptionist, admin assistant and occasionally a website and newsletter editor. I do like my job, I like talking to our regular older patients who come in often, and meeting all the new little babies joining the practice. I see myself being a receptionist now, it might not be at the GP Practice forever but it's okay right now :)
