      IRC Nickname: Sativas Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 2255 Member No.: 1305 Joined: August 29, 2008 Total Events Attended: 155    | I'm always curious to hear where other people have worked their first job. My first job was at Good Will (a thirft store). I accepted donations in the warehouse part of the store as well as being a cashier. Quit after they kept asking me if I wanted over time, and then cutting my hours back later on in the week so that I wouldn't get it. What was your first job? --------------------  The Ultimate Skilling and Combat Badges Updated June 17th, 2011        | ||||

Did that for about a year and a half until I got well and truly tired of having to put all the brochures inside every paper before delivering them. --------------------  | ||||

Did that for ~3 years and eventually worked my way up to being one of the managers (which I have to admit, being a manager at 18 was pretty sweet) and I kept that job untill I had to move towns so I could go to Uni  --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||||

I only had that job for 3 weeks until it pissed me off too much. Then when I was 18, I stacked shelves for a supermerket and I had that job until I was 21. Then I became a music teacher. --------------------  | ||||

But don't really consider a real job cause it was a short term. My first real job is my current one at Sportchek (a sports store ) I've been there for 3 years come this August. Up to now I have been a good employee but apparently as of yesterday night they found me and one of the other guys slacking off on camera hehe. Hopefully I don't get written up. --------------------   Proud WG member since December 2003 | ||||

 IRC Nickname: DG_Keanu Group: Council Posts: 4782 Member No.: 2033 Joined: August 25, 2009 Total Events Attended: 173 | Never had a paper round Work experience, I was stacking shelves at Iceland (It's a chain of market stores here in England) for 2 weeks. My first proper job is my current job, and I'm doing audits for Portraits International - one of the biggest photography companies in the world. I go to London almost every other week for it and I've been to Manchester twice as well. It's checking packages, making sure money adds up, that sort of stuff. I'm at the bottom-end of the corporate chain, just above the maid who cleans the office. I can get paid around £25 an hour - over 7 times my minimum wage  --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||||

I also designed a shirt for a middle school club -- but that was free; I'm not sure if that counts.

One private school for rich...ish kids - nice facilities cool kids and happy staff. The other was a state school where the facilities weren't even in existence, the staff were demoralised and suicidal and new kids from Somalia kept joining throughout the week I was there... It was a good eye-opener though Um my first proper job.... as in paid... rofl was babysitting... if you can call it a job. Other than that, no PAID work. At the moment i'm working with a theatre company, building set and then going to be backstage working with them as they take their show up to the Edinburgh Theatre Fringe Festival in August. Unpaid (!). Next year - CAMP AMERICA - paid... Randy are you going to try to disuade me from doing this? --------------------    | ||||
