Your First Job

The first real job I had was a telemarketer for a non-profit organization trying to get people to sign up to solicit their neighbors for donations. It was for a worthy cause and I also was getting a paycheck. Needless to say, I got the very worst zones to call and most people hung up on me. I worked very hard at it for three months, but eventually I got fired because I wasn't signing up enough people. It was a real learning experience for me.

My first real job was hostessing in a restauratn. I was also waitressing and serving drinks. I was only 14. I was carding people. I had no clue what to look for on their drivers license. At the same time I was working for a motel cleaning their rooms. That was 34 years ago when there was not such strict rules as they have not. We lived in El Portal which is at the gateway to Yosemite National Park.

Believe it or not I was actually a secretary! I spent 13 months in a Youth Training Scheme to learn to touch type and boy has it come in useful (especially on Mylot!) and I walked straight into the job, it was my first full time job with a full paycheck! It was local too so no commuting! I stayed there for 13 months in the end. It was a small but friendly company. I was 18 at the time, many many moons ago!

WOW! Washing dishes is a hard job, especially for a teenage girl. Well... It's hot, and heavy, and kind of gross. But good for you for not letting someone tell you what to do just because you are a female! My first job was as a cashier at a Sanrio store. If you aren't familiar, it is the "Hello Kitty" store. We had little quizzes each week by the manager about trivia! Mostly the store sold little things like stationary. It went bankrupt about 6 months after I started. Since we carried such small items, shoplifting was a huge problem and it eventually sunk the store. I decided I was done with retail and got a job and Papa Johns a few months later. I still love pizza, lol!

My first real job was at the local fast food/ice cream place, called Dairy Sweet. I worked there while still in high school. I ran the cash register, made the ice cream treats, ran the grill and fryers, did the dishes, stocked items... everything that goes with working at a fast food place. It was a great learning experience and also great to have my own spending money while still in high school. I was the type who never liked to ask my parents for money for anything unnecessary, so it was awesome to be able to afford things I wanted myself. I even paid for my first car out of this job. A whole $300, which I paid in installments, to a friend of the family.

I worked as an ice cream scooper at the local mall's ice cream store. I was 14. The owner was really trusting, he left me there alone all the time, I had to do the cash register at the end of the night, scoop the ice cream, make change, everything. I worked for almost a year-until we moved. Made $6.15 an hour haha!

I had worked as nursery teacher in a school but left it after first term exam. It was lot of hardwork but I enjoyed it. I left it when my posting came. I had got it by giving a qualifying exam for it. my hubby was incharge of the school as it was run by army so I never got my paycheck it straight away used to go to him. I justy used ot sign the register fr recipt ,lol.

My first job was working at a daycamp taking care of young children over the summer. It wasnt' much of a paycheck but it was a real paycheck!

I worked as a care worker in a nursing home for elderly people who couldn't look after themselves any more. A lot of them had mental issues and didn't know where they were or anything. It was hard work, but I loved it. We had a lot of fun moments and although the residents didn't know what they were doing sometimes, they provided us with a lot of classic moments. I left there a year later to go into retail.

hhm.. I started working first with 411, yes the directory inquiries and later on was transferred to 118-118, same company but with two different accounts. I worked for almost a year so familiar with "City and State pls?"

My first job was for a Hallmark gift store, I worked there my senior year of high school, before moving on to the bigger world of retail......J.C.Penney's lol

well, my first job, i really cant remember it now. as far as i can remember, its was in a call center, a telemarketer i think. it was really good to work as a telemarketer because you need to make more efforts to earn money. actually the twist is, if you are able to sell the companies item, you will be able to have a percent earnings. lets say for example, if you will be able to sell 8 credit cards, your salary will be, the basic salary, is 15,000 philippine money + the 10% earnings in your selling options, most probably, you will have 17,500 philippine peso, it was really cool you know, try to work on it, its very interesting..

My first job is a doctor and I do it twelve years.This is a job with the highest responsibility.So I felt I am very tired in my heart.

i work as temporary "office boy" after graduate from secondary school while waiting for my exam results. It took about 3 months, after that i further study at college.

I had my first real job when I was 21 years old.I was a Quality assurance inspector at first I found it really hard and frustrating plus the fact that it requires an overtime. I always cry whenever I have to go to work and even after my shift but then in the end I enjoyed it moreover all of my co workers are good to me and they can make me feel at home. I miss them all actually its been two years since the last time I saw them.

My first job was at Hardees back before they changed everything to Angus meat, which by the way is why I can't eat there anymore. I was one of the people who worked the register. I ended up having to quit when I totaled my car and didn't want the people that I worked with to be responsible for getting me to and from work like my manager suggessted.

my first job was on a internet cafe and it was very very atractive job

My first Job was at a Tim Hortons ..I really liked it as a first experience mainly because there was a LOT of student just like me that was working there ! I stayed the whole summer ..doing part time job like about 20 to 25 hours per week ! I had a great summer that year...but realized that I definatly needed to strive for a different job in life because I hated the routine part of it ! Today I am in university and I am really proud of it !

My first job was flipping burgers at McDonalds and I stayed there for 2 years. I hated it because I would go home smelling like food and it was really hard to get that smell off of you. I also hated it because the floors were slippery and they made me wear that stupid uniform and hat. Now the McDonald's uniforms are more progressive and I'm jealous lol. But seriously you had to stand up on your feet all day and at times i would go in the freezer or hide in the stock room just to be able to rest my feet. It was a good 2-3 years before I started eating McDonalds again.

My first job was at the local Burger King and I worked there for about three years, fun times.
