    Relm 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.

    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.

    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).

    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.
