First Job?

[_FLIP_]

So I was just wondering what was your first job? Or maybe you've only had one job and thats the job you have now. I'm talking about actual jobs, no online stuff.

Im 16, and just got my first job in mid July this year. I work at Chuck E Cheese, lol. :D Minimum wage of $7.50 - Cali. It will be $8 in 2008. :lala:

My first job was doing house repossessions. Not the best of jobs but someone has to do it.

1 time there was a flat we were repossessing and we looked through the letter box and it seemed the flat had been emptied so we went around the side and I climbed in a window so that we did not have to drill the locks. Only thing is we did not realize that the flat we were repossessing was the upstairs flat (they had 1 room downstairs which is the room we saw was emptied). As soon as I was in this woman came running towards me with a carving knife. She as screaming at me to get out, when I tried to get out she was screaming at me to stay were I was (which I somewhat ignored I thought getting out would be the better option). The woman called the police but they refused to do anything under the circumstances as it was an honest mistake.

First part time job was at Kentucky Fried Chicken when I was 15.

First full time job after college was Steelmet in Illinois. We bought and sold scrap steel and hi-grade metals.

I worked in a grocery store (Giant Food Stores) from May 2006 til the end of May 2007. I was a cashier. They really liked me there, and I was very enthusiastic and loyal for my $6.60/hour job.

My first job was for a builder. It was a summer job before I started college and I earnt £2/hr which at the time was somewhere between $3-4/hr.

My first full time job was working in a nucleur power station doing IT technical support, I earnt $18/hr. Our jobs all got outsourced to another firm and we had to re-apply for our jobs. Me and one other person didnt get our jobs back because we refused to take a pay cut. Instead I got a job elsewhere for more money.

My mom got a job fixing the accounting problems of a buy-sell-trade video games-music-movies-books store that was right next door to a movie theater. She ended up getting me a job as a cashier, except this place was really low budget so I was the only one working there on Fri. and Sat. nights (huge movie theater crowds). I was only 16

Being a cashier was alright, but when it came to helping people find anything other than books or video games, I was clueless. "Hey dude, you got the new Metallica CD?" "Um...I dunno."

The worst part though was that people knew I was clueless about music and movie values, so they would wait until I was working to bring in their stuff to sell. I had huge lines, so was nervous and had to hurry, and just used the rarely-up-to-date price guide the manager made. People definitely made money off of me.

Then I got a job working for discover card, which paid well but sucked.

The ultimate job was UPS, where I got to throw boxes around, get a workout, and get paid $11.00 an hour. If you've got a UPS hub around you, I would definitely check it out. Great job with huge career potential.

First job, off the books, was of course babysitting.

First job, on the books, was working at an Italian Deli. Was short term though. Because there were only 3 of us + the owners that worked. It closed down for about 3 months after about 2 months of me working there. The owners family was from Italy. And her husband, son and sister(all were vacationing/visiting family) were driving in Northern Italy and got in a car accident. All died except her son. So she had to go back home to tie up things and for the burial.

So back to babysitting I went.

First job was at a glass factory putting vinyl on the back of mirrors. They told me on my first day to count all the mirrors I broke and tell them at the end of the day. It was over 200 broken (most were already broken by the time they reached me) and when I told the supervisor he said with a straight face - "Uh oh, at $10 per sheet you owe use $2000 minus your daily wage!" He had me going for about fifteen minutes before everyone started laughing at me.

Let's just say that job gave me a gajillion years worth of bad luck.
