greenslime89 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I'm going to be applying for a part time job at my local photography studio, and I hope to be working as a helper for the photographer. So I would have to set up the studio, set up the flash, flash diffusers and so on... I hope to stay there for a few years and maybe take some photos for the clients and eventually learn how to take wedding photos for money! : So this is going to be my first part time job if I get it and I was wondering... What was your first job? Photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 heh, thats a pretty good first job. my first job was working in the highschool bookstore for 2 weeks in the summer. 1 week right after school lets out for summer, 1 week right before the next year starts. i did that for two years, so i dont know if you can consider it a job or not. but those two weeks were hell. 1400 students come through a line, you look at their schedule, then get all the books they need. often they have been standing in line for 2 hours, so they werent the kindest of people. and you have to run all around this big room with stacks of books everywhere. not fun. but since i clocked up 4 weeks over 2 year there, i dont know if it counts or not. the next one was working at an IGA (grocery store). that one was easier, but sucked more. i think ive talked about this before, but that is where i got most of my views on politics/life ect... worked 40 hour weeks for a summer there. could tell about my other jobs up until this point, but they arent that interesting.

weezcake Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 That'd be my dream.. summer job, lol. I'd love to work for a photo place! :) As for my first job.. well, I tried getting a job this summer, but my job hunt failed (since I'll only be in San Francisco for the summer). I did have an "under the table" job though. I passed out some fliers. Made $200 in one week, heh heh. ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.

greenslime89 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 $200?!?!? Didn't you just bin the flyers and go home and have a coffee? I know I would :P That's probably why I'm unemployed :wink: My sister is getting minimum wage - ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã3.00 an hour for working in a pharmacy supplies company - she hates it, but I don't see her all day for 5 days a week, so it can't be that bad :thumbsup: : Photos!

Tigra00 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I haven't had a *real* job yet. I used to work some with my dad building houses, but I didn't consider it a "job". I considered it "getting paid for helping". :lol: I'm 19, so it's kind of sad...But I never needed a bunch of money for anything, and I'm good at saving, so... I plan to get a job in a couple months though. Starting to need it, lol. The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me!

Icingdeath Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I worked at a gas station. Made $10 an hour, too. It owned. I really wouldn't call it an era. It was more of a definitive time period during which dinstinctive characteristics were expressed in similar ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is telling them you'll work at least a year if asked, but whenever you have to leave 'something just came up.' Just a small white lie. Kind of. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

count_chocula Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I'm looking for my first job right now. I had two interviews last week, one at Evil(Wal)-Mart, and one at a local grocery store. THen this evening a car wash I applied at called and told me to call them tomorrow to set up an interview. So hopefully one of those places will pan out and I will be employed, and hopefully it isn't Wal-mart. I don't want to sell my soul to get a job, I'm thinking I'll decline it even if they offer it to me edit:BTW, kids my age (16, 17ish) out there looking for their first jobs, experience really helps. It doesn't have to be paid, but some volunteer work and a reference from the place you volunteered at can really be helpful on job applications. It looks worlds better on job applications than leaving the boxes for your experience blank. It's not hard and you don't have to spend that much time volunteering, just go find something you enjoy and will have fun doing, take a friend or sibling or somebody with you for company (it helps, at least me, because I'm kind of shy), and go have fun. They had this job presentation at school and networking (that is, jobs from people you know) account for soemthing like 60% of the way people get their jobs. So talk to your relatives, parents, have your parents ask their friends, etc. anyway thanks for listening to old man chocula's lecture, kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 If you don't count the one day I was a Paperboy then i first worked on the Delicatessen counter at a supermarket. Then i worked for Virgin mobile in the Technical Support call centre. Now i work for Wiltshire County Council on about ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã60-70 a day, i think it works out as. Not bad but considering that WCC charge ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã175 for a days work for other ppl to use my time it's a bit stingy.
