First job I had was a volunteer in a British Red Cross shop which I did on and off for about 18 months. I volunteered there as part of a course originally but stayed and did some work there because I enjoyed it and got on well with the staff. Seriously. Free biscuits and tea, first pick of the books that come in and really easy work. Only downside was I wasn't getting paid, but I nearly ended up working at another branch as a member of paid staff recently.
My first paid job was doing a bit of admin work for a family friend. Basically helped to try and expand his online business to eBay it didn't work so well, but I stayed there for a good four months or so doing about ten hours a week just helping out. Got paid cash in hand which was definitely nice.
My first proper, 'pay yer taxes' job was working in Woolworths. I started there in September or October last year as temporary staff but they kept me on. I still work there of a Saturday now and would cover any shifts for them until I started working full time during the week. Pretty thankless work sometimes, but I enjoy it except for some of the right tossers and idiots you get in. Oh sure, queue up at that other till I'm blatantly not serving on then stare at me as if it's my fault. That's exactly the right way to get yourself served.
My first paid, full time job is the one I'm in now. Technically I work for Reed, the temporary agency, but my assignment is with a civil engineering company quite away away. It pays well and it's pretty easy work, but the office is rather crowded since the person I was covering for came back and they've taken on someone else, so I'm unsure if I'll be there for much longer until they realise I'm not needed.
I've had a lot of first jobs, apparently. I've given you my whole employment history xD
