What was your first job?

What was your first job when you started working? How old were you?

I worked at Walgreens as my first time job during high school and was allowed to work during the day and afternoons. I was around 16-17 years of age at the time, and had fun working there at first. As usual, I just started to dislike it and didn't enjoy it as much. I worked originally 12 to 4 and then 7 to 11. After I graduated HS I stayed on there for a few years. I worked usually morning and evening shifts then.

I starting working in car detail when I was 16 years old for Ford. I temporarily worked a second job at a local pizza restaurant when I was 18 so I could have some more spending money.

I recall a car place worked with my high school at one point. It'd be a good stepping stone for the student for sure.

It was the one job I was always good at. I'm still friends and co-workers with my mentor. He still works in the detail department. We've known each other for 20 years now. It's hard to believe how long it's been. I was only a kid when I started working under him back in 2004.

I left school in 2009, about a year early and started my first job in December of 2009. Well, worked for two days then it was Christmas Xd then went back to work a week after when the store opened. Six to seven months I was there for till I left and went to college. End of the day it was cash in hand and I was a dog slave to them. Meaning they used me more than they should and they never had to pay me as they want through a different system to hire me. It was a hospitality food shop

My first job was as a secretary for an office in the school district. It was part of the work program... I interviewed at one place before that position and didn't get the first one... but the 2nd one loved me! I only worked there for a year as it was a high school position. I loved it quite a bit.

I am actually trying to get into a similar role as due to so many health issues working a job that requires standing all day is rough. I am working with my state Voc Rehab and was supposed to be volunteering at a place to gain office experience. I just never set up a time or date to go for orientation or so.

An office job sounds nice every once and a while. I'm sure standing all day is rough! D:

Oh yeah, my first job being retail sucked due to standing plus other issues with customers and sometimes management. I got used to standing and my feet hurting after while, but ouch. I never understood why jobs cannot allow people to sit down.

Exception of babysitting as a teenager, my first ‘real world’ job was in a factory collating. Was funny because I didn’t know what collating was lol I had to put papers together in order.
