Right now I'm applying online for an assload of jobs. I'm hoping I get the one at Lowe's, guaranteed 40 hours a week.

This got me wondering, what do you do EoFF? How'd you get the job? Are you doing what you always thought you'd do?

*rests chin on fist* Go.

[Unbreakable Will]

I just got an interview for tomorrow at this phone company that also gives no less than 40 hrs a week. Tis wonderful.
Oh, and as of now I'm unemployed

What happened to that country club gig?

[Unbreakable Will]

Little to no business, cuts were made and since I'd only been there for 5 or 6 months I was cut second, thankfully I wasn't the first... that title belonged to the club junkie. hahaha

I work in construction. I'm a carpenter! I got the job by applying to it. It's not what I always wanted to do or expected to do but, it puts money in my pocket and I enjoy the work. I just wish it would warm up outside!

[Shoeberto]

I'm a programmer.

I got my job because I was a programmer for another team in the company and they spoke highly of me when my current team was hiring.

I got the first job as a programmer for reasons beyond me. The only credentials I had was a mentoring position and some good grades in sophomore-level classes.

I love my current team. I love my old team, too. They're all great people and I'm very fortunate to have the position I do with the people I work with.

Is it what I always imagined doing? Not really. But people say if you start out in your dream job, it gives you nothing to strive for. Sometimes my work is mundane but there's enough interesting and downright fun projects that I stay on my toes. It's also great to have coworkers that are not only easy to work with, but who are great and supportive people that I consider to be friends. I'm also paid way more than any part-time college student deserves.

It might seem like I'm bragging, but I'm really proud of it. I worked very hard to get where I am.

[fire_of_avalon]

I'm in Human Resources. Which means I'm really good at getting blamed for stuff.

[Jiro]

As of now, the only job I'm getting any work in is my position as a Student Ambassador. I tell people why they should go to my uni and get paid well for it. I got it because they called me and asked me to apply. Nifty, huh?

[Rantz]

I'm a system developer by official title, which in practice (in this case) means I do a combination of design and programming. Which is kind of what I like to do, although I'd like to focus more on design and less on programming in future jobs. As far as jobs go though, I like my job well enough. It's decent and pays decently, though I'd like a little more challenge.

I didn't have to apply for a whole lot of positions to land my job. Instead I spent time on making my CV professional and nice looking, and modified it for every position I applied for. Not as in lying to fit the position, but as in shifting focus onto the factors that were relevant for each.

I hope to be a teacher soon, but until college is finito, I have been working as a writing tutor and at a deli. I also occasionally work as an aide for BOCES.

I received all these jobs by... applying? Though I'm a writing tutor because I knew somebody who got me in.

[Levian]

I work as a Receptionist at a Hotel. I got the job by applying for it, and then pressuring the employer to give me a quicker answer because I needed to know before a certain date, as whether I got the job or not would influence where I would be living. I would've gotten the answer after twenty days, but I got it in ten. And now I'm receptionist, whoo! My contract is up in June though. I can extend it, but I think I might be applying for a job where I can get more shifts than I do here.

[Rye]

I work as a trouble shooter at an office. I got the job through a friend a few years ago and I've not changed it since, even though I ought to because I am underpaid.

I also sell stuff online which sometimes leads to profit.

[kotora]

No job atm, but I'll look into it this week. I was a mailman until a month ago. It wasn't very profitable considering the opportunity costs. It's no big deal if I don't get a job now because I'm on a student loan which I'll easily repay as soon as I graduate and get a job in the military or whatever. I'm certainly not gonna work for any less than 6 euro per hour.

[Jojee]

I'm a server at two bars/restaurants right now and finishing up law school~ :3

[Psychotic]

I am a money advisor and I got my job through spending a long time volunteering with the organisation. I never had any idea I would do this. The funding for the future of it is still up in the air, and I think I'll be out of a job this time next month. But it's been a damned good experience and I am a much more capable person than I was before. Easy come, easy go!
