I'm 25 and have 6 years experience in car sales. I quit my job 6 months ago to do some travelling. Asia, OZ, NZ etc.

I'm back in the UK in a few weeks to save up some more money... My previous employers said they'd happily have me back BUT I want my weekends back - I was working 3 in 4! I want to do some more travelling and maybe work a ski season also. I know it's a bit of a vague stab in the dark question but what temp job can I do that pays more than minimum wage?! Something a bit more interesting than the norm and pays well...

Why not look at a summer season job? Neilson, etc.

Where in the UK are you?

And not weekends and not the summer?

Are you serious?

You want a professional temp job ideally.

Something office based, 9-5 and during the week. Not a huge amount out their without being specialised, but Admin work could be an option. Other than that, maybe a driver job if you have a clean license.

I suggest dropping into a few temp agencies that specialise in office based jobs. Make sure you look smart and show you have some brains; there is usually a standard to office based work (clean cut, smart dress ect).
