I need a job!

Where do you work? Do you like your job, or do you dislike it? Tell us about your job! If you don't have a job, tell us about not having a job!

I currently don't have a job. I'm at college and I've been finding it difficult to find a part time job to fill in the blanks on my timetable. However, I turn 18 in two weeks, so I'm going to look for some bar work leading up to Christmas. I used to work for an insurance company - it was boring, repetitive work, but I loved the pay. It was a full-time job which I did on my gap-year before I started college, so I had to quit before starting. :jess:

I have a job, I call people about mortgage-y stuff, I don't likes it! But it gives me moneys $_$ Kaching.

move to the usa, ohio with me!!!! we could work at bob evans together!!! (omg thats s******'s last name *depression* ;_; ) lol. we could have so much fun staying until midnight washing dishes together!!!! ^____^

I once worked at a fish market. I sold many types of fishes to people. Until one day I spilt a peanut butter milkshake onto an Australian man, who was very nice about it. The end. :chef:

I'm a game tester at Nintendo of Europe. I had to move to Frankfurt for this job, but it's not too bad. Sure less boring than working in a bank! And I live better with my paycheck here than I could afford to in Italy.

Thats just freakin awesome! I would love to have a job like that.


I work at GLAD. Yes, I make trash bags. Well, actually, I just drive a fork lift, but still.

Maccas.

I hate my job, but I love the people I work with.

I start full time study next year~ So I can become a games tester/Japanese Teacher ^_^

Oh boy this is fun. I hate my jobs too, but i like meeting people at work.
I work in 2 restaurants and a gas station, real thrilling X_X

I work for BT (British Telecom). I have the unfortunate task of having to tell people their lines are not working, and that it will take three weeks to get it repaired. :( The other half of my job is trying to get old people to check their own equipment. Depending on what sort of main socket you have, there are different ways to do that, and trying to communicate this to the customer (usually old people, urgh!) can be pretty tough. They never taught us in layman's terms, so it can be quite frustrating.

Sometimes I really hate my job. Like yesterday I came home with a nasty stress headache because I had really nasty callers, and I had to call the trainers for help every five minutes. However today was a breeze. I had my review, and I have improved a lot since my first week (I am now in my second week proper) All I have to work on at the moment is apologizing to the consumer (I always forget! :rolleyes2). It's fun on a good day, and the money is good, but would be even better with a real BT contract (I work for the Manpower agency atm).

Couldn't be said any better for me! :razz:

If i tell you about my job then i have to kill you.:tonberry:

I work part time minimum wage at TJ Maxx. For a 17 year old, it's not a bad job. It's pretty easy and I can take days off pretty much whenever I want. I work there 3 days a week, about 14 hours a week. Over the summer I worked a bit over 20 hours a week.

This summer, I'd really like to get an office job that's more professional and pays quite a bit more.

After over five months of trying to find full time work, I ended up with a temporary job in Woolworths over Christmas. Could be extended past then though if they decide to keep me on. Not terrific work but it's better than nothing.

No job at the moment. My school schedule doesn't even allow part-time work. I was supposed to go work somewhere Saturdays but probably next semester.

I work as a photographer. I shoot people. I do weddings and portrait work right now, but eventually I want to get into commercial (magazine, publicity prints, etc) work.

I love what I do. It's fun and exciting and pays extremely well. Plus, I get to be my own boss. Also, since the actual days that I'm photographing are usually weekends, it doesn't really interfere with school work at all. And all the post production work I need to do, I can easily schedule around my school work. So it works out pretty great.

I'm a very lucky person.

I teach middle school math. It's extremely taxing. There are days when, on my drive home, I think of all the other jobs I could get with my education. Currently, these days outweigh the number of days when I feel happy with my job, but they don't call your first year of teaching "survival year" for nothing.

Sounds fun! I wanna be a TURK! :shoot:

I love my job at the phone monkey factory. It's not an ideal job but it's just around there. I think if I expected some sort of impossibly cushy job that paid for my livelihood to the point of excess, that's asking for too much.

I have no job, though not for lack of trying. My timetable would allow one, indeed a fairly flexible one. I've sent in numerous applications, but I'm obviously not what they're looking for.

I was too messed up when I was a teenager, and never got myself together to get a job. :( Being in a student town sure doesn't help, too.

I feel like a failure sometimes but honestly, I don't know what a near-suicidal teenager was supposed to do. I just wish SOMEONE would give me a chance now. I mean come on, how hard can it be to teach a guy to operate a cash register and stack some shelves? It'll take like one day MAX to get me to a useful level, and hell, I'll work for free that day.

KoShiatar get me a joerb I know games better than anyone? :3

I work at a grocery store deli. I like the job, it keeps me busy and my mind off stuff. It's customers that I don't like.

I slice meat, cook chickens, skewer chickens, clean, clean the olive cart, fill up the salad shelf; make pies, sandwiches and wraps, prepare different party trays and prepare for all of the above and there's probably more that I can't think of at the moment. I don't even know how to do some of those! Oh, and we have to deal with customers. We all loathe that :bigsmile:

I work at a food place on campus called Ovid's. It's part of the William T. Young Library (Second largest in the U.S. in book endowment next to Harvard's, first among public Universities).

Before I started the job, I knew about seven or eight people that worked there. Three of them are my roommates, and the rest are other friends. I do various jobs from making food on the grill, serving at the hot bar, taking out trash, doing the dishes, etc. It's a fun job for the most part.

I know what that feeling of failure is like. Although I wasn't near-suicidal or that, I just didn't want a job when I had to spend so much time on my school work. So when things didn't work out as I'd hoped last year, I found myself taking an unplanned gap year which meant finding a job. I don't live in a student town, but North Wales is crap for jobs because firstly they're quite substantially lower wages than in other parts of the UK and secondly because there's few of them to go around. Something'll come along eventually, even if it's just something like working in Woolies like I've got, it's just the first step on the ladder innit.

I've only just started college, so my job consists of giving plasma twice a week for $60. Or rather it will once I can make a freaking appointment with them for a physical.

Get a job in your student union. Easy bar work.

Hate serving women though, they always always order something complicated like cocktails. I can make them, but they take ages :rolleyes2

woah how do you get an awesome job like that?


i work at olive garden if i cant find something that i want to actually do with my life in the next year im going to become a correctional officer. my friend is one and he was able to buy a new car a new motorcycle and he lives on his own. so the money is obviously good.

I work at Best Buy, the big domineering (some say screw-you-out-of-money) electronics store of the US. :bigsmile: It's not too bad...They were my first job ever last winter, and now I'm back in for Thanksgiving and the holiday season. I sell iPods and miscellaneous other MP3 players, along with cell phones and accessories. I prefer the register though...Just ring stuff up and say, "Did you find everything okay?" and "Do you have a Rewards Zone membership with us?" :D

You have no idea how hard it is. Some cash registers are stupidly awkward.....so are some people to be honest. Also shelf stacking....at my shop I have to carry 24 litres of pop up two flights of stairs, I actually got really toned arms. I work at Martin McColls in huddersfield, the largest newsagent in England :D :D :D Not the actual building but the company :P
I love my job, I love my manager, she is amazing fun. I was working 35 hours a week over the summer but I'm only working Saturdays now I'm back at uni. :D :D :D

Smile and Be happy :love:

I'm working at a hotel and casino. I'm at the Front Desk of the Hotel, working overnight, doing the Night Audit. It's good to be back there. Plus I get to be home with the boys during the day...

My grandparents have a roll-off box business. It's nice because I don't have to work minimum wage at a fast foot restaurant and I can come in whenever I want.

I once worked at a Family Dollar. I suspect that I caught a strange disease there, because I was sick for an entire year after I worked there for a few weeks.

:cry: I need a job too. I have no monies to my name at all!!!! Being a student sucks. Not many places like students, and the ones who do are always fully staffed because all the students rush to get them and they're filled straight away :cry:

I has no job.

I work on campus fixing people's Internets. It's not a bad job, pay is decent and hours are very flexible, but currently there's just not enough work so I'm not earning very much. Hopefully the start of next semester will bring in some $$.

I am guessing Stephan. Anyone else wanna take a guess?

I was this way before the military.

Overseeing the manufacturing process of semi-metallic disc brake pads is definitely as awesome as it sounds. :choc2:

I clean elephant trunks.

I put the labels on dog and cat food, it sucks but its easy and pays ok (about £10 an hour doing half hour on, half hour off).

I used to have a job circumcising elephants, the pay was crap but the tips were enormous! (i'm very sorry about that)

I used to do that for Telecom in New Zealand in their broadband department. I hated it so much. :p

I'm a web designer, myself. I make websites and online community software. I like it quite a lot.

i think you may just have the greatest job ever.

I work at the local gymnasium. I mostly clean and put up tables and chairs for different meetings and other stuff going on there. Sometimes I also work in the kitchen in the cafeteria and sometimes it's even me selling stuff at the countertop. My job varies quite a bit - This summer I also spent weeks painting and repairing all kinds of stuff there. They basically call me when something, whatever that is, needs to be done. I have nice bosses (yes, there are 3 of them!), and I mostly work with some of my friends, which is quite nice.

I work at Clinton Cards and it can be quite fun. :D My boss is pretty funky and for Halloween she dressed up like a devil at work. I do lots of things at my work like handling orders, putting cards away and filing them, working on the till, going to the bank, answering the phones and much more. I'm also at college doing HNC Administration & Information Technology.

I work in a Deli! I slice meat,cheese and cook fried chicken and bake whole chickens. i also eat lots and read the newspaper lots! :p

I'm currently just a student, but since I'll have no Friday classes next semester, a job is very likely. I'm thinking of applying at the local Gamestop.
