Where do you work ?
Tennants Auctioneers
Head Of Collectors
6.30am; Mon-Fri 8.30-17.00
Preparing items for sale by auction (sorting, valuing cataloguing)
Started out working for my uncle (an antique toy dealer) as a summer job, was still their 5 years later and then moved on into auctions
The best is the unpredictbility. Ever day if different, new things to see and people to meet; always exciting! This can also be the worst aspect as when a deadline looms it is impossible to know how much time is available to get the job done
Do what you enjoy doing
I was a carpet fitter (briefly and not a good one)
