questions regarding airport work

im unsure if this is the right section, but whos not better to ask than pilots who will know airports inside out!

Ok i have the funding to do all my training, (well not quite yet, still saving to make it)

I thought that working in an airport for a year or so will give me valuable experiance in an Aviation enviroment that will look nice on my CV.

What i want to know is whats a nice job at the airport to try and do? I want one that involves airplanes as much as possible! even if its washing them hell id give them a nice polish too

I was maybe thinking something along the lines of Cargo, or ramp agent? But what i want to know is how do i find these jobs? ive been monitoring the BAA.co.uk website for jobs available, ive tried contacting them but its like trying to draw blood out a stone!

Is the BAA the people i have to contact for such a thing? or is there airlines that has workers at these airports that does mostly all there aircraft handling duties?

Much advice will be totally appreciated!

Note id be giving up a well established job, so id like to find something permanent, im currently a sales administrator, whos being looked at to be moved to the head of a department in one of the uks top hosting companys. So my prospects in this job is good, but aviations the route i want to go down.
