I have washed dishes, cooked, waitress, carhop, deliver pizzas, van customising, stuffing the ads into newspapers, went to school to learn more so would not have to waitress and took office occupations but most of jobs were only part time with no benefits. Did data entry for a phone book company (boring)!Went through temp services to see what all out there and did a variety of things - - Worked at a pickle factory picking out the holey pickles as they came down the line. Dried cars off at carwash, did construction cleanup, did surveys for a store asking people about meat department and so on, put windows together, packed veggies in bags, put lamp shades together, tore apart waterpumps to be remanufactured, glued foam pieces together for boat seats, packed spices, I know more just can not think right now. It is interesting going through the temp services. Never know what going to do sometimes. You find out what all is out there.

I worked in a greenhouse starting with the very begining of the plants to the sale of them. I worked in a pizza shop. I have worked in a bar where I bartended, waitressed, cooked, did dishes. I worked in a sewing factory making gear for horses. I worked in a produce shop stocking shelves, in a produce warehouse sorting tomatoes and sorting strawberries, as a produce broker for my fathers business, I have done taxes, just a little then I had to get out it was terrible. I worked at jo-anne fabric's, I became a seller on ebay to sell the quilts I make after I had been working in a consinment shop, and I now work at home with a wellness company signing up people to be members. Wow when you write it all down it's amazing how much you have done. And I'm only 24.

In college I worked in one of the cafeterias on campus. I did it all there--worked the serving line, filled silverware/trays/desserts, kept the salad bars filled, worked the dishroom, was a cook's helper. I did everything but cook. I also did this at the junior high cafeteria for a couple of months. I did a telemarketing job for a little one summer because the cafeteria was closed and I worked at Wal-mart in the seafood dept for 8 months. I haven't worked outside the house since then (that was back in March of 2000).

Wow! I've done several jobs, including fast food, retail, customer service, and data entry. The funny thing is, I'm probably not done changing jobs yet!
