How many jobs have you had in your lifetime so far?

Hi PeacefulWmn, I started out as an accounting staff in a German company based in my country, then I thought of career pathing, and having finished Psychology, I decided to have a career shift from accounting to Human Resources. I got employed as Personnel Assistant in a bank. Then I transferred to an insurance company as an admin staff, and after a year, I was transferred to human resources dept. of the same company as human resources assistant. I stayed for 9 years, and rose from the ranks - from assistant to manager, until the company closed. I had put up my own business, but still went back to the corporate world, I joined a manpower/staffing agency as hr manager, and stayed for 2 yrs, which I left to visit my mother in another country for a prolonged period. When I went back, I found my current job as the head of hr in a health care company. Whew!!! that was long LOL.

I guess I started as salesgirl for girlscouts, then babysitter, hone person, front desk person, real estate sales, escrow officer,banker,manager, vice president,loan officer, loan processor, office manager, tax person. That is most of them.

Geez, probably too many to list here, lol! Years and years of freelancing and contract work!

Wow, I didn't realize how many jobs I have had until I started counting them on my fingers. It's probably close to twenty. I've worked for companies, run my own businesses, and everything in between. It sure has been an adventure. So here goes: Farm help, Encyclopedia Sales, Switchboard Operator, Office Manager, Keypuncher, Bookkeeper, Arcade Attendant, House Cleaner, Day Care Provider, Grocery Cashier, Writer, Organizer, Interior Decorator, Teacher, Seamstress, Library Assistant, Medical Transcriptionist, Fund Raiser, Patient Advocate, Activity Director, Administrative Assistant, and Artist. There may be more but this is the list I could easily come up with.

i had several jobs too before. i started as helper in an eatery owned by my mother, then cashier, clerk in an office, accounting staff, secretary, then as a staff in a law office where i worked for 13 years and now i work as administrative assistant and executive secretary. been in my last job for 8 years now.

I'm still young but i can definitely say i've had some really cool jobs. I've done tutoring for maybe 3 or so families. Pay is very good, nice part time gig. I've baby site for a family with 2 boys. This job is fuuuuuun! I've been a representative for a non profit group supporting at-risk youth. So i helped to solicit donations. I've worked in a car wash... great tips hehe. I've also taken the entrepreneurial route. I've made a few websites. They're listed on my profile.

Wow! That's a variety of job! you definitely got the opportunity to flourish and explore your creativity. I am so glad. your writing and artistic qualities thus , got a vent out. I have only worked in one place in my 9-10 years working career. I am still working in a hospital with my boss, a senior interventional cardiologist. May be i am little ambition career wise, may be i am satisfied, may be I have a gem of a person as a boss. Whatever, I am still there and intend to be there.

Hello Karen. I have altogether worked in three different places, one of which was just a temporary summer camp teaching job for one month in a small town. I worked in my first working place for fourteen years and then I moved to another province and have been working here for twelve years and I love this place, a small town very much. I guess that I will keep on working for quite a long time. I have always been engaged in teaching without switching to another career. I love my teaching career and my lovely students. Good day to you, Karen.

Hey, Well I have only just finished high school about a year ago, and I am still searching for a job. So I have had no jobs in my lifetime so far. After I work for about a year, I might have enough money to fund my College. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, Traditionally, we had only one Job and tehre was no change, I was teacher before marriage and never opted for any job and remained house-wife till date. My hubby joined Armed Forces and retired as per age (55 yrs), my elder son joined Govt service and never changed so far after completing 13 yrs (there is no hope for him to change the job). My younger son is Soft-ware engineer and his wife as well and tehy are working for same company since more tahn 12 yrs now and they would never change it. I do not understand basically, why people tend to leave the job. May god bless You and have a great time.

I have started working from the year 2005 and since then I worked in three different companies, actually I didn't add the jobs which I have done during my college days those are part time jobs (as a Teacher in a Tutorial) If I have to include them then the number will be FIVE. Have to see how many companies are waiting for me out there

Yeah! I did change my jobs.I was working for a company called Webhelp in 2005 for 2 years and then moved to another comoany called 247. I was there for just 4 months and then moved to C3i where I worked for a month. Finally I was in GSS for 2 and half years. SO I was working for almost 5 years in 4 different companies.

Hi PeacefulWmn,I was a fresher then when I landed a job in a construction firm, for over 11 years in same company I was assigned on various departments starting as an administrative/personnel assistant, then as a purchasing assistant after a year has been assigned as the purchasing department head. With such a good administrative training background I was promoted with greater responsibility to handle the factory yard of the company as an officer in charge. It was the peak of my career when I married and decided to join my husband abroad. There I found a secretarial job in a small company and currently I am in a multinational pharma company as a secretary to the country manager. My job abroad doesn't sound exciting but compensating i should say! ... Add me in your friend's list please! Thanks.
