WOMEN IN UNUSUAL JOBS
A. Dina Dorsel is a disc jockey in a night-club in London. A few years ago she thought net future was in
tennis. 'For a while I trained promising young players on a fulftime basis, but one day a neighbour who
was a radio producer took me down to his radio station and I became Involved in the music scene,' she
says. There are lots of late nights for Dina but surprisingly the job doesn't offer her much in the way of a
social life. 'I don't have any real contact with the large numbers of people I meet,’ she says. She
particularly likes the fact that she now only works four hours a day. 'The one thing I resent is having to
appear cheerful all the time even when I feel down,’ she says. She hopes to be able to produce her own
records one day but she has given up her ambition of going to college. 'You can't do everything in life,'
she says.

B. Angela Bell is a clown, she paints her bee white and wears funny clothes to entertain people. She
decided downing was the job she wanted after seeing a clown snow. 'I said that was it. It involved no
talking, and that suited me down to the ground,' she says. She soon realised that women only introduced
the act and were on stage for a few minutes because it was considered a job for men. That is changing
now’ she says. 'But from the beginning I decided to call myself Chris on the programmes instead of
Angela so that the audience don't know if I'm a man or a woman.' Angela had to choose between family
and work. I liked my work too much to think of children,' she says, ‘and I have no regrets.' She says the
secret of her success is that she is a very happy person, which is what you need to be a good cbwn.

C. Claire Dorn works on a cruise liner, a floating luxury hotel which is her home for eight months of the
year. She is the ship's secretary and has responsibility for all information customers may need while on
board, as well as acting as secretary to the captain. 'He is very demanding but I have no complaints from
him,' she says. Losing touch with the real world for so long is no problem because the ship's officers can
take advantage of the activities provided for the entertainment of passengers. I've made many lasting
friendships here,' she says, 'we get customers of all ages and backgrounds.' Her previous work
experience as a Personal Assistant to a manager prepored her for the demands of this job. It was better
paid than her present job, but she gave it up because she had always liked the idea of working on a ship.
'The only disadvantage is that there are constant time changes when you go round the world and it
makes you feel physically unwell,' she says.

D. Dolly Masons has worked in a chocolate factory for the past twenty years. I was nearly sixteen when I
joined,' she says. 'My parents both worked here at the time, so it had become a kind of family tradition.
My first job was as an assistant and I've since climbed the ladder to become customer relations
manager.’ Her present job involves a number of responsibilities, from performing taste tests for all
chocolates to ensure their flavour is the same, to organising events for retired employees, including
parties and excursions to the seaside. ‘I like to have variety in my job,' she says, 'any comments from
customers will be forwarded to me to deal with. Of course, I'll never meet them personally, but they will
all gel a written response from me.' She admits that at the moment she is finding it difficult to
concentrate on the degree course in marketing she started last year, but is confident she will finish it by
June.
