Sumoninja92 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 So, I'm sure you all are all quite experienced, but I wonder, since I'm just now going to get my first job, what was you guys'? Don't matter how lowly it was, nobody judges here I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Dairy Creem, a rip-off of a Dairy Queen. I only worked there as a few months. Quit because I got accused of breaking the shake machine when in fact I did not. I then landed my first job as a hotel desk clerk and been doing it ever since (past ~5 years).

brigita Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm still at my first job -- in my defense, I started there a year ago, haha. I work at a salon as a receptionist/salesperson, because we also have a very large store in the front of the place. My official title is "Beauty Consultant" which just cracks me up... come consult me about all of your beauty concerns! Anyway, I deal with some extremely high maintenance people and this job makes me seriously dislike most people from my area of Cincinnati. But I have learned to never, ever treat retail people like crap. On the plus side, I really enjoy most of the people I work with and I have made some great friends from this place. Also, I love getting to learn about and try out new hair products and with my incredible discount, I am able to do that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 worked a food stand at the san diego fair.....it wasa fish and chips place, but it got me on tv for like 3 seconds in all, at 3 different times. The show was the Next Iron Chef on food network. I was pissed when I figured it out because I would have killed to meet Alton Brown! but the chefs got screwed when they found out all our chefs didnt speak english hahahhaha!

It's easy to make and manage small softwares in foxpro imo, but if your file sizes start exceeding 2gb, then they corrupt like a bitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I got my first job at Orange Julius in our mall. 5 years later I'm assistant manager haha. This hasn't been my only job though, and they work with my class schedule way better than any other job I've had. I was a banquet server, a sales associate at Best Buy, a paper boy, and a server at a pizza restaurant. Best Buy was my dream part time job though. And the newspaper route was the best paying at 400 a week for 5 hours a night of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
