What's your first job story?

My first job was as a part-time customer service representative. I work at home so it's much convenient than going to the office everyday. It lasted for 6 months. I feel like the payment was not worth all my efforts, that's why.

My first work was here at the company I'm working right now. Right after graduation, I was interviewed and after almost a month, I was called to start. I did not have difficult times adjusting in my work. My co-workers were my classmates that graduated earlier than me. They are also the one who asked me if I want to apply for the vacant position in the company. That time, I was not yet graduated (just waiting for the graduation day. However, in other departments, I need to know them and mingle with them. Good for me to be hired two weeks before the first ever company outing so I got the chance to join. Since we are working in a feed milling company, I was surprised that producing animal feeds needs lot of ingredients that I had never met before.

my first job was being a private tutor. it wasn't that bad but it was so far from home and i would finish late at night and i always got scared going home. but my second job was a bit hard, i was a costumer service representative. it was hard because of the night shift and i couldn't get enough sleep in the morning because i was also an English tutor. i am looking forward to working again very soon. i just hope i don't have a hard time because it is a very serious job heheh being a nurse.

I worked as an agent in a money market company after few months I understood that it was not my sector so I left it.

It's not really my first job, but it was the first salary job I got right after college. One of the manager was not so keen to have me on board as I heard later that he would have preferred someone with more experience. When I was hired, he assumed that I would not be able to handle the job without having my supervisor looking over my shoulder all the time. That made me even more determined to learn everything quickly and prove him wrong. A year later, the same manager recommended a promotion for me.

My 1st job was so annoying cos I gt horrible supervisor. She pretended that she own the office, and her words are rules. Many of my work-mates had quited the job earlier than me. I do this job only for a year, evryday is a stress day. Gladly, i found new job, and Im happy with my job now.

My first job... it was such an ugly experience. I've had problems with some of my co-workers. They made it so difficult for new comers to stay and keep the job. They acted like they were my superiors and I had to follow everything they ask me to. They kept treating me badly no matter how much I tried to be nice to them. It felt like I had to go through some kind of difficult initiation first, like in fraternities, before I get accepted to their group or organization. I made their act known to superiors, they were reprimanded but they went back to their old ways. I never wanted to stay in that kind of work environment so I just left the job. Luckily I found a new job in just a week, which was really good. I was with them for 3 years.

I agree that it's me who can make my own life miserable it I let my emotions control me. It's a big lesson and I'm still learning it. My firs job was at a factory, part time, while I was in college. It was very heavy physical work, and in addition my supervisor was very rude, immature and loved to humiliate us. I never became friends with him, but met amazing people: my co-workers. I resigned after a few months, but it made me appreciate any job later on where I was treated as a human.

Hi cleverland, Welcome to myLot! I remember my first job like it was yesterday; it wasn't a very pleasant experience and it knocked whatever little confidence I did have at the time, big time. It was in the second last year of school, for work experience we were all encouraged to seek employment purely for work experience outside of school hours. I got employed in a bar/restaurant. I was fine with the waitressing bit but when it came to bar work, I don't know what happened but I guess I wasn't ready for the 'atmosphere' of a pub. I remember making more than one blunder and being scolded for it. It really knocked me for 6. I was (and still am) a quiet person by nature but really couldn't take criticism in a tone that was very much condescending from memory. While it did have a profound effect on my confidence it was short lived, thankfully, when during school holidays I secured other (paid) employment in a similar industry but with different employers it was to be the making of me.
