Jamie Dodd, a 30-year-old unemployed father of three from Lancashire, begins today what will be a very strange year for him.
Jamie is attempting a record breaking challenge - to work 365 different jobs, one each day, for an entire year. Project-365 kicks off today and, unlike the rest of the malingering UK workforce, Jamie will not take any sickies.
In fact, he will not have any days off, not even at weekends. There will be no holidays, no bank holidays, inset days, charity days or mufti days.
Project-365 will involve Jamie turning his hand to a whole range of jobs and he will receive the daily rate of pay for each industry, regardless of position.
What the point of all this is, Guru is struggling to work out. One of Jamie's first jobs could be to redesign his website because it's awful and a lot of the links don't work.
Yours Truly wonders whether Jamie will spend a day working in HR and what his impressions might be. Any suggestions?
