What was your first job!?

Ok well I'm 21 so not much older than you ;) My first job was at your age and I became a nanny. Not a live in one - I went home every night but it was definatly fun! I got paid an average of $200/wk after taxes and all that for taking care of 2 children who were 8 and 10. It was fun helping them get their homework done and making meals but the best part was when we were goofing around watching movies etc. After that I've had trouble getting jobs as well but I work at my college bookstore. Interviews seem not to be my strong point - perhaps that could be a problem of yours as well? Oh - and don't forget to try places looking for secretarys and desk clerks! Your computer skills gathered from school could help you land one of these jobs - and if you don't already know how to use a multi line phone (say you do) get someone to teach you ... it'll take 5 min max! Good Luck!

Hm, I guess my answer wouldn't help you much since I got two years of job experience with my education before I even started looking for one. XD Fast food restaurants might be your best shot. You're a bit too young (I think, it might be different where you live) to get into the normal restaurant or casino business. That's a good place though, a lot of smaller places look for unexperienced but willing employees, atleast here in Sweden. My boyfriend didn't have any work experience, but has been working as a Black Jack dealer for over a year now.

My first official job was working for the City of San Jose. Thy had a program for teenagers back when I was in high school to provide them with summer jobs working with the city doing various jobs. I actually got a job as an assistant library page at one of the local branches of the public library. It was pretty cool, all we really did all day was clean up books and re-shelve them.

My first job was at the local Quiznos. I was 18. I was lucky and didn't have to interview for it. my boyfriends family bought it and offered me the job

hi i am fatima form the phils. I'm a fresh graduate from college with my degree ing nursing. I'm waiting for the december local licensure exam since we cannot practice our profession if without a license. Until now I don't have a good job, my friend referred me to a freelance job. We are making money online its just that it was stopped 3days ago. So just be patient ok because there are a lot of oppurtunities out there.

i'm 16 and i just got my first job at old navy. my advice is when they ask you what you'll work for, say something like 6 bucks an hour or something. good luck!

My first job was that of a survey assistant. It was a really lowly paid job plus long working hours. But at the tender age of seventeen and just having left school, I had to jump at the first opportunity. Today, I believed that education is the thing that makes us different from the rest. I worked and studied whenever I could manage the time and finance. I am a better person today because of the experiences I went through.

My first real paycheck came from the US government, working as a groundskeeper/janitor at Rhein Main Air Force Base in Frankfurt Germany when I was 16, in the summer of 1974. I don't consider the card-selling I did at 12 and 13 to be a real job, because I never made significant money on it; in fact, even other selling jobs I had as an adult (including with Avon) I never could make a living doing that - if I wasn't living at my parents at the time, I would have starved. After college I got a REAL job, but I suppose that is for another discussion ...

I did a lot of babysitting and odd jobs like cleaning cabins first, but my first steady job was working in a restaurant as a dishwasher. Most fast food restaurants are probably a pretty good place to try for a job if you have no experience.

My first job was as a hair stylist's receptionist :)

My first job was cashier at Arby's. I was 15. When I hit 18 I worked at 7-11, then at the tourist office for our area. If you look at the website for your town or surrounding ones, you can probably find something. Towns are real good at summer jobs. Decide what you like to do and look in that area. I volunteered at the hospital for awhile. It gave me a grounding in my current career field.

My first job was an internet-based job. It was based in Belgium. And my job was so simple but the pay was really good. My job involved me making questionnaires of 160 characters for mobile phones regarding some trivia about my country's music and sports. It was fun and I'd love to have that again. I was around 4th year college then. And my professor had a friend who worked for the company and asked her if she could recommend someone, and she recommended me because she saw I was really computer savvy. So there it goes. It was the best job ever! Too bad it was only a by-project type. =) For youngsters. You should try anything. It's good to understand how money works and how difficult it is to find money so as to appreciate the things that parents give us at an earlier age. =)

You have to determine first what you really love to do because you won't be successful in any job if you just report everyday to work just for the sake of doing the job. Loving what you do is different. Job is not supposed to be boring. Good luck!
