I have a few, so if there are any HR people out there who already work for any of these companies! In no particular order:

Top Gear Presenter
Play James Bond in the next JB movie
Play a main Fast and Furious character

I don't have much of a talent for acting though, so playing James Bond probably isn't going to happen!

Locations manager for a film company
Motoring journalist
Ferrari/Lamborghini test driver

Being more realistic, a new vehicle product trainer for a large car manufacturer.

I should be pretty well qualified for the last one: Automotive Engineering degree, 5 years car sales experience and 5 years teaching experienece but having written to the HQs of several car manufacturers and having no luck, perhaps I'm not!

What is (are) your dream job(s)?

Something in construction.

Mainly due to the quality of people involved in the industry.

Professional racing driver.

Getting paid to race cars around the world, I don't think it could get any better than that.

Forgot about that one. That would be on my list too but don't fancy F1.

Didn't take long to lower the tone! My best friend at school wanted to be a breast fondler. We all told him that wasn't a proper job. I think he meant breast implant quality controller!

I'm a Motorhome salesman for a big dealer.

I'd like to own my own small dealership say 20 vans based on my own small campsite with a fishing lake and nice house on site in the countryside, that would do for me, just need a couple of million to get it rolling.

Whilst I don't have my dream job (fighter pilot, assassin, sniper, racing driver?) I do have a job that I enjoy, find immensely rewarding and means I work with a great team, so I'll live with that!

Professional racing driver is a good shout.

For sonething more realistic though, id like to be a train driver.

Just a tad too young at the moment. Hopefully in the next few years!

Software billionare. I'm basically the same age as Bill Gates etc and totally unencumbered by any kind of social skills so it really should have happened by now.

Reminds me of this -

In the Inverness Job Centre a man sees a vacancy for a Gynaecologists Assistant. He asks for details & is thrilled to learn that his duties are to prepare the ladies as follows:
1. Remove Underwear
2. Wash & shave the Ladies nether regions.
3. Rub Oil on shaved areas.
Salary is 55,000 p.a. He is told to go to Plymouth. Oh why
,'Is that wheres the job based?'he asks 'No thats where the queue starts!'

I always wanted to be a vet.

I'm not sure why I never tried hard for it, sport took over my younger years as I travelled Europe competing in canoeing events.

I'd give up my job tomorrow for an apprenticeship or trainee veterinary nurse position. I search daily for such a position in Nottinghamshire / Derbyshire.

I don't exactly have a bad job, and I've even told my fiancée of my intention and she's more than supportive

I can't complain much about my job as I work as an engineer in the automotive industry as I planned to do since I was a child, and I have also managed to come back working in Italy, my home country, for some years.

But as I much as I love cars I love traveling even more, probably my dream job would involve traveling and writing for pleasure, or even better becoming a publisher.
