What was your first job and what did you have to do?

My first job was working across the street from the World Trade Center for a Corporate Library. I was there for 2 years and really didn't like it at all. I then went to work for an engineering firm as a clerk and worked myself up to secretary. That job was in the World Trade Center. I worked for that company for 25 years until 9/11 happened. I loved that job and my co-workers, but I along with many others was let go on December 31, 2001. I would still be there if 9/11 had not happened.

My first job would be a market researcher. I do surveys on a lot of stuff. Mostly surveys in the US. I hated the job because it has a different time of work, we have to work in US time and the place is really far from my place. Some of the clients are really not that helpful and they think we are selling something that is why they would hang up the phone even after we could tell them who we are. I quit, i only lasted for 2 months there. It was a waste actually, the work is really not that hard and the people there are so friendly, but i have to move on...

Hello keegan_ess, My first job was at ticket office at Movie theater down town. I work one day and got fired the next. My dad thinks it was because she wanted her job back. She said I took money from the drawer and I was only 16 years old. Talk about learning on the job experience. Thanks and have a very nice evening Sincerely Unique16

My first job was to teach Koreans how to speak English. It was pretty boring at first because the Institute that I was working with never really trained me or motivated me, they just want me to fill in the vacancy because there were just too many students then. When I transferred to another Institute that really kept my life going because it was really like getting a real job and working my butt off every day to get a promotion which luckily I got.

My first job was in retail! I worked in a lotion store. I actually still work there, although not as much because I have taken on a teaching job. I loved the retail work. I have been there for two years and already worked in three stores! The first was a lot of fun because my sister was manager, but I transferred because of college. The second store was okay- it was very different than what I was used to. They weren't as aggressive in their selling techniques because they came from a richer part of town and people just bought on their own. When I returned to the first store I had worked at, my sister had been promoted and transferred, the original Store Manager had up and left and the new Store Manager was awful. (She was fired after three months). I then transferred to the store I am at now and LOVE IT! The co-workers are so nice and the management is awesome. So it depends on what store you're in, I guess, but retail can be a lot of fun.

My first job after I obtained my professional License was in accounting firm as an Accountant. But hey, I did the clerical works when I joined the company. That time I was at the height of feeling so dignified and honored to have obtained my license but they broke that feeling when they let me do clerical works, filing and photo copying. But then, it dawned on me after I pondered on the circumstance, it's the time when humility struck me, and I realize the value of it. A good boss, is the one who is filled with humility and respect.

my first job was a child counselor. i did that after i graduated college and my main resposibility was to take calls and document it. calls pertaining to child abuse and if the case needs to escalate to a rescue operation i had to be there and follow up till the case resolves.

Hi Keeegan, Oh wow...I'm old so I've been working a lot of years. My first job was babysitting when I was 11. I made a ton of money doing that and worked a lot of hours. When I was 15, I got a job in a local department store and only worked there for a few months before moving on to work at Dunkin Donuts. I worked 12 years in an insurance company. I've done finishing work and construction laborer. I've cleaned houses, cooked meals, sewed, and daycare, odd jobs for elderly etc etc. I currently work in a convenience store and love it for all the people I see and I make incense burners on the side for extra cash.

My first job is entering a forex company but I wasn't making money at all. Just spend there learning the forex.

I become part of media group when i was 17 and a part time marketing. I had fun but i have to choose study over working. Though i had fun working while studying but i wasn't able to balance it so i have to drop my career.

I dont have any job currently. I have to find a job soon. I think earning from work gives more satisfaction than just working in my lot or any other sites. Also i think we can interact with people in job and can gain more experience which is not possible in the case of working at home in any site. So i also like to work outside. Also it is good to have an earning from the job. I dont think the earning from online site can be considered as main source of income

My first job was working as a hostess @ I-Hop. I hated it & I didn't even last a month. My duty was to bring customers to the table & give them their menus and cashier but the manager was being a jerK and told me to clean up tables. I'm not a janitor nor am I getting any tips so I quit!

It was fine at first...I was so nervous because my boss is a foreigner to our country. I really thought I will be having problem communicating with him but I was wrong. I got so many stress and head ache to one of my boss which is not foreigner. My foreigner boss and I have the very smooth and well employee-employer relationship because we understand and we communicate well. I stayed there for 14 months, I love my job but I can't stay for long because I didn't compensated well.

Well, my first job after graduation was a teacher, I got this job in a private school and my pay was just $25 per month but I was happy at that time that I got that job, with that much pay I only covered my fares but I thought instead of sitting at home it is better to remain in touch with studies and students. This job last for four months but I got good experience with my young students and I really learned a lot from them and from my four months professional experience. Before job, when I was student, I used to stay up at night but after starting job, my sleep and every thing came into normal position, what a good experience that was but now again I am student and the same routine again, sleeping late, wake late and bla bla bla Have a nice day....:)

Well we definitly cannot earn enough money a month on mylot to pay our bills. The little extra income we make on mylot a month we can buy something with it but not much. I love mylot even if I cant earn a lot from it in a short time. My first and only job that I have had was a nourishment aide/resident aide at a nursing home in the hospital near me. I loved it but at the end I couldnt take it anymore. It was pretty much just me in a room with about 40 residents who couldnt take care of themselves and having to entertain them and help feed them and it was to much for one person. I got to stressed out and had to quit. I had worked there for almost 2 years exactly.

i am still on my first job, i am already working here for almost 3 years, i was just an encoder here at first and now i am a marketing officer

I was a cashier at a little market. It was fun to me and I learned a lot. I've also worked at a coffee shop. It didn't get too busy but the manager was pretty mean. There were customers that didn't agree with our coffee too. Good luck!

My first job as in a small family owned restaurant. I was a dishwasher in the kitchen. It wasn't the prettiest job in the world but it was honest work with hard working people.

I became a parttime writer in a newspaper, I was then a high school teen. My involvement with politics and my interests with the current events paid me off. I got a modest salary then.

I joined my school districts main office, where they gave me a good salary. They would assign me mundane tasks, which often times were aimed at organizing the office. Would have a constant supply of work, since there was a lot or records keeping for students. My work included organizing audio books, magazines, mailing lists and assigning labels for different files and papers. Compared to the amount of work I did in wood working, my first job as administrative assistant is a bit more tedious but less hard work. There would be constant handling of wood, and lots of endurance would be needed.
