Resting jobs

Teaching if possible. Generally better money than you get temping and most people are good about you being an actor first - i.e. if you gotta go, you gotta go!

Like Gilda I also do corperate role and
the occasional voice over job but my main job is as an advocate. I work with families affected by autism and work with them to ensure they get their rights and entitlements in health, education and social care.

I also run an evening group every Tuesday for teenagers with Asperger's Syndrome. This weekend I took them paintballing and am still counting the bruises!

Gilda, I noticed you say Medical role play, can you tell me how you get work please? I know some of it is at exam time when hospitals need role play patients for student doctors.

I'm a sexual health researcher for a University, this all came from a temp job as a data-imputer!!! I get to have complete flexi-hours, I can take a whole week off and catch up another week, plus they know I will leave if I get my break can't say fairer than that, plus look after the Sexual Health of the nation. I've worked for universities before and they are pretty flexible. It means I also have time to work on my own projects.

I do webdesign and work for an insurance company 3 days a week. They allow me to be really flexible and take time off as I need it which is excellent! Trying to get into corporate role-play work too.
