First job ever?  Or first permanent job?

I temped for about 18 months after I left college so gained experience with various companies before I secured my first permanent job at one of our main Universities...I loved it.

It was more of an administrative role.  I think I had a manual typewriter on my desk which I hardly ever used but we also had a WANG computer in the office which was used to prepare our course perspective.  We produced about 2 perspectives per year - a winter one and a spring/summer one.

I didn't move into the PA world until very much later so arranging meetings was not part of my early working life.  I actually never wanted to work in an office because I thought it was boring....at times I wasn't too far off the mark!
