First Job
 

Well, I just started my first real job today, a "Sales Associate" at a local Convenience Store/Gas Station. Amazingly enough, it's more than minimum wage! Not much more...but still:)

What did everyone else do as their first taste of the workforce?

I was a fry cook at a Captain D's (a fast-food seafood place, for those who don't know.) A wretched job that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Cashier at Brookfield Zoo... it was actually a fun job. Got to go eat by the monkeys every day, sometimes they'd circle jerk... sometimes they wouldn't. It was like a beat-off roulette every day. Whaaaat a summer.

My first job was at a Wendy's burger joint. I started off as fry girl... I always went home feeling like a french fry...
Ick.

HaHa!! I was going to buy a spider monkey today and my mom warned me that they like to do that. :D

You were gonna get a spider monkey? You better keep that monkey somewhere safe when you have that baby... somethin' tells me there'd be a battle for dominance... with hilaaaaarious results.:D

I was until my mom said he might squirt me. :p

Webmaster for a CD import store. Found out that no matter what it paid I couldn't deal with computer work. 8 hours a day doing computer work and/or playing GTA (the first one) while waiting for something to do. Quit and got a more active job, no use not being happy just to make some dough right? I did double the guy's business though, he didn't even accept credit card orders on-line it was all phone and mail. Ahhhh... the good ole' days.

I've never held a regular job

Uh, making sandwiches in a deli.

Construction Laborer

Copywriter with NSD...didnt pay that much but I loved the job...then moved on to be a cashier for second shift...

My first job was a blowjob :p

On a more serious note...can't work till October. :)

My first job was a market research job...Great pay shit areas to work on haha. I ended up telling the boss I would leave ( because he threatened me with a law suit over something I had said when a client was around..either way...He was a dickhead and heard things wrong)...but yeah. Did that for just under a year.

My second job was the same shit. Much nicer place tho. Just ended up walking out on that one haha. Shit jobs were given to me while I was there..Actually cheebs and I both got up and left haha. We just said fuck it and walked out.

Well there you go.. Thats my job history haha.

That must have been some blowjob haha. What happened ...did she bite it off or something. :P

Towel/water/ball/uniform boy for the Saints.

I don't know if you can really call it a job since I didn't get paid, but that was the last thing I was worried about with an oppurtunity/expierence like that.

Worked at "The icecream factory", a shop that sold icecream, icecream cakes, and shakes.
I mixed icecream (unflavoured unfrozen icecream STINKS by the way), cleaned out fridges/freezers, and wrote stuff on cakes.

OH - I remember you - Brookfield, whoo what a place. . .


my first real job, other than my many circus and zoo gigs, was in an autoparts warehouse - we'd ship out orders to local auto parts and mechanics. i loved my job, it was like grocery shopping with an enormous cart and i could wear my walkman (back when there were walkmen) and not talk to anyone all day. i loved my job so much i would forget to take breaks and piss off all the older 'union' guys who didn't want me to go so far beyond my quota. . . then, despite being the most productive shipper in the warehouse, i was let go.

Lifeguard, stupid kisd seem to like to drown.

I was a sound engineer at a public radio station.

I used to fuck my ex gf in the sound proof control room.

Ahh i almost forgot about that..lol

cue the violins...


memoriesssss
ahh ahh memoriessss

That was so no one could hear her . . . YAWN







(just kidding - :D )

Believe it or not, my first job was a beer-boy in a liquor store. We would stock the coolers with beer and carry out cases for customers.

Stocking the coolers in the back room....away from the boss....if ya get my drift...was a fun time.

At seventeen....it was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Very first and shortest job was working as a Busser at a Buffett, until my supervisor went mad when his 15 year old girlfriend broke up with him and he started throwing trash cans around and hit me.

My grandfather owned a painting business when I was a kid, so I started painting houses at the age of 10 during the summers during the week, what fun I tell ya, nah actually it wasn't too bad a job for being a kid, and making about 250 to 300 a week, was pretty cool...

I stuffed Sunday newspapers early Saturday morning.

It was horrible.

It took hours to get the ink off my hands.

CA Masons shoes.
We made army and biker boots..
I lied on my application and said i could
use an industrial machine..
When my application was approved ..i had a week to learn how to use one of them fuckers .
Lasted there for 4 years ..became team leader ..then the competiton offered me
a better pay rate so i left to work for adamson and robertson ..who made ladies
designer shoes and army/biker boots.

My first job was waiting tables at a resturaunt my parents owned at the time. It blew, there are no labor laws when your parents were involved. I don't think I ever saw a paycheck from my dad and the tips sucked.

Just an update:

Im loving this job. I mostly work out at the gas bar, and with gas prices the way they are hardly anyone wants to pay an extra 5 cents per litre for me to pump their gas. So basically, I sit in my little booth with the radio blaring, occasionally getting up to fill a car. Easiest job EVER.

I was a text-fitter for a book bindery. Basically, people measured the spine of a book, put the title on a slip of paper & handed it to me. I entered it into a computer, decided what size the text should be, hyphenated where need be & spell checked. If the title wouldn't fit on horizontal, I put it on vertical. Dear god, was it boring.

i'm too young to get a job yet. just need a couple of months. damn the child labor laws!


anyway, the closest i've come to a real job is mowing grass. yuck.

Bussing tables at a buffet. I also filled the salad bar, did some cashiering and what-not. Pretty boring over all, so I only did it for 6 months.

Busboy/Dish washer at a food place, needless to say it was only 4 months before I got mart.

Amusement Merchandising Employee at Dutch Wonderland (local amusement Park) I ran the games and gift shop/stands. Yes holy old thread Batman but I went thread digging and this seemed interesting

My first job was packing books n' shit. My first full time job was working in a bakery which totally sucked because of the 3am starts.

My first real fulltime job was planting grape vines on vineyards in rural N,S,W. Long days and hard work, but good money for a 17 year old. I also got to travel and stay in hotels paid for by work ect.

My first job was at an old Dairy Queen. Creepiest job I've ever had.

Delivering newspapers.Crappy hours and pay but got some very big tips around Christmas time.

I used to take my girls there when they were younger and when we lived in PA.
What a great place to have a first job!

On our way home we would always stop to buy fresh food from the fabulous amish roadside stands...yum:cool:

Good Lord, this thread is ancient...what prompted this bump? Heh.

For the record, I ended up working at that place my first post for over 3 years. Worked other jobs too, but always stayed there part-time as back up. Didn't quit until I moved away last summer.

I've helped out my self employed dad on occassions but my first real job starts soon...Bed making at a nearby holiday resort. Still, I'm hoping to transfer to catering or the sports desk.
