First Job?

[umair]

Where was your first job? How was it?

I am currently working at Jamba Juice, been working there for about 3 weeks now. At first it was a pain in the ass because of the rushes we would get, and the amount of time we would have to make each smoothie. Not knowing things and doing them fast SUCKED! But eventually, I gained confidence and it's pretty fun and simple now. So what are some of your experiences at your first job?

I worked in a basketball camp for kids age K-5. Pretty fun and I earned a lot of money. I had the 1st and 2nd graders and went on to be an assistant coach for their team the following season.

I worked at my dads computer company putting information in to some GPS boxes. I did it mostly for insurance money. My first real job was at a grocery store; No Frills. I worked there about 7 months, but than we moved. It's really fucking easy. You take boxes of food, and put it on the shelves. Than you face which means you make the isles look nice.

I worked at a driving range for a short time about two summers ago. Nothing before, nothing since.

Can't hate on that, I don't like to work somewhere while studying either.

I need to get myself a job. But I'm a bum.

Worked for Freightliner during the summers, now I work at a grocery store while I'm going to school. Will graduate in like 7 weeks though, so then I'll be doing accounting stuff

My first job was for Coca Cola. I was a merchandiser...I hated it to death. I basically filled shelves, displays and coolers...built displays...rearranged and condensed backstock of product...it sucked. Yet I held the job for a good 20 months...still my longest tenure at a jobs. Since I lost that job back in June of '06...I've gone through...4 jobs...haha. Though I was at one of them for 13 months and I've been at my current one for almost 8 months.

 

[NJNetz]

Someone suggest a job for me.

 

[Moo2K4]

If you can land a job at Nordstrom...it's a cake walk...well...my job is. Not so sure about working in the actual full line store...but my job in the contact center is cake.

Jeez bro, did you read the title of this thread? It reads "First Job?"...not "Current Job?"...or some shit like that.

Umair, did you get your first paycheck? FICA

Anything in the service industry (just not Starbucks). And if you get the job, make it a rule that you will work their for at least three months.

My first job was at Domino's Pizza. It was damn easy but the pay was absolutely terrible. I just took calls, stacked boxes, and swept the floor and I only worked about two hours a day four times a week.

haha my bad, writing papers all day kind of warps your brain

 

[Big Frame]

I was a Bagger at a grocery store.

And if you get the job, make it a rule that you will work their for at least three months.

Why?

 

[agoo]

I worked in the women's shoe department at the store my dad worked at. I could have done without it, but I got money that way, so I wasn't complaining.

 

[La Bomba]

I worked a Baskin Robbins, but now I work at Kroger.

 

[igotask8board]

Why?

To get job experience. If you work more like 6 months you could possibly use it as a reference if you need another job somewhere down the line. If it makes you that misrerable, you can quit sooner than later. It's up to you.

 

[Run BJM]

Long's Drugs Employee.

Ugh. Same for me. Worked there for two years. It was fun at first but there was a managerial change and then all of the people my age slowly started trickling away and it got really shitty. Haven't had a job since but I never want to work in retail again.

I did get my first paycheck, but it only covered like a week of training so it wasn't that much. I'm getting my first official paycheck today!

My first job was at Domino's Pizza. It was damn easy but the pay was absolutely terrible. I just took calls, stacked boxes, and swept the floor and I only worked about two hours a day four times a week.

Ofcourse the pay is gonna suck if you are only doing 8 HOURS A WEEK!
