mr quick Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I'm still in my first paid job, using it to pay the ridicolous amount of money it costs for (mandatory) privately owned driving lessons. I'm a verger/sexton - I'm generally in charge of a church and its services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shhhhhhhhh Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Worked part time in high school as a cashier at a grocery store (food lion). My first real job though was at a German ceramics company called Ceramtec. I was a press operator and a quality inspector there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Arrt Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) A job is a job. No need to be a dick. There's no need for me to be polite and well mannered either. I just prefer to annoy them as much as they annoy me. If they don't like it they can quit, but there's no way for me to stop cold-calls from constantly interrupting my day. Like I said, all you have to do is ask to be put on the do not call list, or more simply don't answer an 800 number. No need to waste both of our times. Edited June 25, 2014 by TheBlackPeterParker.

Ash_735 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 *looks around* No one has mentioned this very interesting job yet, so looks like I have to say it. My first job was actually a Traffic Warden *ducks*, which I really hated and tried to do as little as possible, in the summer I liked it because, despite the stupid uniform, I got to relax outside, hidden away, in the sun just listening to music occasionally changing what "street" I was suppose to be patrolling. But damn, trust me on this, the amount of taunts and hate you get off people doing that job is amazing, and I can see why, funny enough we got more hate off our bosses because we didn't bring enough tickets in. Eventually I was fired after an ass kisser who wanted to work her way up was tagging me, and taking notes when I wasn't "carrying out the duties he's supposed to be paid for". Bitch.

Verdant Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) I was at a local supermarket in the fruit section (fresh produce or whatever you want to call it). It was 10 hours a week unless I had to fill in additional hours somewhere else within the week. I worked there for about 5-8 months, the staff were okay, a numerous amount of employees eventually had there frustrated moments.The guy who trained me for the fruit department was really nice though and I did enjoy working together with him when we had the same hours. However the place ended up shutting down as they were beginning to construct apartments there. And no they didn't transfer me anywhere else which was disappointing, pretty much at the last minute the managers told the employees it was shutting down.

Graven Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 City Construction Office, keeping streets clean of scum and gardens weedless. Not so great salary, I was only 15 "young employee", but it was good and rewarding job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByePolar Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Many many years ago, my first job was a busboy at a very popular local Chinese Restaurant. I think at the time, which was back in the early 80's, I made 2.35 an hour + 15% of the wait staff tips. On a good night I made 100 bucks in tips, which wasn't uncommon for this particular restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthLand Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I was a salesmen when i was 16. Those sells you have to bring a switchblade just in case My proper job was when i was locked up. We did cookies and biscuits and we made about 20-25€ a week. The good thing is that if we made more that we where asked for, we could keep them and eat them.

Old post, as is this topic, but I've been doing this for 6 years. It definitely isn't a job for people who can't tolerate the cold.

AceThaCreator Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Well i started doing alot of under the table jobs since i was 12(all legal of course)such as working at a small bowling alley setting pins, seasonal stuff such as raking leaves & shoveling snow, and working for this guy who owned vending machines. But my first wage job was at 16 at Kings family restaurant as a bus boy which was one of the sh*ttest jobs you could have. From cleaning up puke to a table that resembles a 5th grade food fight. But i was had so much fun with staff who were mostly teens as well as myself at the time. Unfortunately due to money issues and building falling apart, it closed and the last day was pretty sad as most of us built friendships & relationships there.
