What industry do you work in?

[Pondlife]

My clients generally make things.

Sometimes it's big expensive things that people use to tell the world they've made it big. Sometimes it's little things that are only used once a year but give people pleasure.

Current one makes things out of that black stuff people go to war over.

I haven't done the things people smoke yet though.

I once did things for people that use clams in a thing for other people to drink

I like .net.

[MarillionFan]

is there a definitive listing of industries?

There are different categorizations. I just used the ones of the BBC website for shares.

A standard is to use sic code standardisation from something like D&B.

You know you can consult across different verticals don't you?

Crap poll...

If I work in Banking Software, what do I tick?

[HairyArsedBloke]

What about financial information or speckulators? Can't really call that banking.

Also on the list of missing, but important, categories: mining, farming and fishing, transport and distribution, construction, leisure and hospitality.

Maybe 'other' would cover it!

And publishing!

And public sector. Though that would have required a multiple choice poll.
