I've been working for this particular MP since Jan 2008, but I've worked for various politicians since leaving uni ten years ago.
How did you get into it?
I got involved in student politics when at University. I made a heap of contacts in the Labor Party through volunteering on election campaigns and then the work offers came from there.
If you could do any job in the world would you still do it?
Yep. I get the ability to work with amazing people that are committed to changing the world.
What do you do? I'm a Registered Nurse and a Midwife
How long have you been doing it? I have been a Registered Nurse for 5 years and a Midwife for 18months
How did you get into it? I never put any effort into school until year 12 - when I realised I wanted to do nursing/midwifery in a rural hosptial, maybe even one day join the flying doctors- (I wanted to do midwifery and in order to do it you had to be a nurse, so I did nursing), and then I worked my butt off. But was too late and still didn't get a high enough UAI to get in. So I went through a back door route, was like a bridging course but one that gave me credit towards my course. It did take me an extra year to complete though (4 1/2). I then worked in nursing, mainly emergency and at rural hopsitals and then did my post grad to do midi - which I actually applied a year earlier but didnt get in then, so applied again the next year, and go in then.
If you could do any job in the world would you still do it? My dream would be to make a living off my artwork. I do love the work I do in this job, but the last place I worked ate my soul. it destroyed it for me. and I am only now just seeing the beauty in it again...and it might actually take a while to get my real passion for this job back.. but atleast there is no more soul eating going on.
I have often thought about being an undertaker...

If you could do any job in the world would you still do it? Well with my current talents I would but if you magically bestowed exceptional talents on me then I'm sure there are others I would prefer.
