Have you gone to college,or just drop out because of lacking interest or other problems.So you have to step into the evil society without any preparation to struggle for your life.Lucky story version: you could find a decent job with the help of some good man,and then live well,just well.Unlucky story version:you get nothing even at the beginning of your job hunting,and have to ask for help from your family or your friend.I'm sill a student,i always think about which job i could find,i've been 23,and i wanna know at which age did you get into the society and find your first job,what did you do.Please share.

I got my first job in the age of 23. Yes then I was studying in MCA. And I was joined a company Name synergy management services. I have done this job for only 2 months. And after that I leave the job because company not gives salary on time and also sometimes they give salary very late. So I leave the job. But that was my first jobs.

Many companies recruited a group of interns,and then resigned them after several months and did not have to pay them.So mean and cheeky.

I have just visited your profile,you're an Indian.I heard it's also difficult to find a job in your country.Are you satisfied with your current job?

I started working for a man in the community I grew up in when I was about 13. He would go around town and find grass-cutting jobs for me to do after school, and I would use his lawn mower and weed-eater to do the work after I got done with my classes. It was nice to have some spending money in my pocket when I was that age. After getting my driver's license when I turned 16, I went to work on a local farm after work and on the weekends. I worked there for a while, then I went to work for Walmart when I was 17, so I guess Walmart was my first REAL job...

Your working experience is so rich even when you was young.At that age,i knew nothing,just studying hard in order to get into a good college.Especially in my country,i found getting a bachelor's degree is less and less useful unless you could further your study and get a docter's degree.I should have done some part-time jobs when i was at college and then i could have preparation to step into the society.

I just graduated college March this year. I took and passed the licensure exam.It takes 2 months to get the results. A week after I took the exam I went job hunting because I don't want to be bum and I want to help my parents pay off some debts for my tuition. The first day I went job hunting and with the first company I applied to, I got the job. After 2 months I have learned that I passed the board exams. I am now a young professional and also employed. I am 21. It's really hard and tiring because just months before I was a student. I really miss the perks and the carefree lifestyle but also there is a different feeling for earning honestly and contributing to the society or the work force. If you want something and you are sure about it, the universe will give you all the opportunity. You can also be both, the important thing is don't waste your time...hope this helps

I guess you're a diligent and hard-working person,no matter in school or in society.You've set a good example for us people who will step into the society.I have to study hard too,and do my best to find any oppotunity and cherish it. But after all, attitude is everything,i must change my pointviews first.Oppotunities are everywhere, what you have to do is to enrich yourself and grab it.
