Hi, I go to work with my father during my holidays. I never tried to go work with other people before because I always help my father in his job. Do you go to work during holidays? Is it a good experience?

If I could find a job that i like, I will definitely like to try to see if it's suitable for me. The best thing is to meet new and interesting people from different fields and get paid while learning many things. Maybe it can help train students to be more street-wise too?

Yeah, you are right. Working can train students to become more mature in their thinking and they will become a more independent person.

wow!! you are a very good helper to your father ha? that's commendable. Nope I don;t work during holidays, that's when I was yet working. It is the most awaited day for all workers to rest and relax during holidays. We will go to places we want to visit during holiday season.

Hi, Relaxing during holidays is good but if we go travel, we would spend a lot of money.

Yes I do. I work at a Call Center and schedules really require to come in for work during the odd hours and even during holidays. Is it a good experience? Well, you get double the pay for that day's work [which is always good, extra pay, hehee], but if it is a major holiday, like Christmas or New Year, you'd be missing out on the family activities that always take place. I've experienced eating a Christmas buffet in the office during Christmas Eve and watching fireworks as the New Year comes to pass. It's a bit sad at times, but I accepted my job knowing these well beforehand, so I can't complain.

During my service, I used to work in weekly holidays to clear the pending works. Some works need to be cleared then and there. Others require more concerntration which can be attended after business hours. Due to routine workload, these type works had necessarily be cleared on holidays only. Sometimes it is enjoyable too.
