haven't had a government-known job yet. I've been doing handy-man work for about 4 years now that mixes lawn care and do-it-yourself house projects like installing air conditioners, painting rooms/houses, sanding railings down, priming/painting metal railings, etc.

worked at a nursery on saturdays when i was 15 years old and made about $30 each day. when i got out of the service i got a job at a computer returns warehouse stocking and processing product. it was cool because i got to drive all kinds of heavy machinery and got a dollar extra for driving. i was making about $11 per hour until they transferred me way out in another county. i was part time, so it wasnt worth it and since i was part time, it was hard for me to show up on time, so i got fired. it was the best thing though, cause i went to Sony and got a nice job there. that was a fun job and i worked in customer service supporting the reps making $14 an hour. i used my position in the company to get me a ticket to E3 that year and i started dating one of the managers. they relocated the whole dept to san diego county, so most of us had to get another job. it was hard and i couldnt get anything that could match the pay, so i went to a temp agency and got a data entry job for $12 an hour at this vocational school. it was the shittiest and most unrewarding job i've had and so even after they hired me and gave me a dollar raise, i decided to quit after i took a trip to Canada. a month later i went to another agency and they found me this sweet job at my current company for $15 an hour. i started out being an admin for the Telecom dept in blackbery support and the person i worked with was cool enough to teach me everything and so she started relying on me more and more for billing and technical support. our VP had me doing some projects after they figured i knew well enough, and started she started asking around if they could hire me permanently. upper managment said no because of budgeting and staffing restrictions, so when my contranct expired, i was let go at the end of this last April. i went to phoenix and chicago to do some sightseeing while i was unemployed and kept in touch with them during my time off. About 5 weeks later, my partner and supv persuaded upper managment to bring me on for another contract until the end of this year. hopefully, they will be able to hire me full time. i am looking around for some Telecom-IT certificates so i can bump my pay grade in case they do. when they brought me back, my supv told them to give me an extra dollar per hour, so im making $16 at a job i love. if i dont get hired here full time, i will probably try to get into the mortgage industry. i am going to school at night now, but i hope i get hired here, i could do this long term for a while.

very first job I has was an "under the table" one I had working for my Dads friends doing maintainence work in office buildings

Mainly I steam cleaned carpets
Stripped and waxed floors
Cleaned
Painted
did that for about a year every single weekend. and every weekend I hated doing it. but it was all I had at the time and was still too young to get a real job and I needed money.

2nd one was working with my brother in a warehouse and delt with Truck and Car tires.

basically had to take out the tires from the trailer and put them on the skids and then someone (maybe me) would have to stcik them in the other trailer the same way lol, was sucha complete waste.
Did that for one Summer and Fucking quit that bitch

Didnt work for about a year after that. Then the next summer came along and I applied at so many stores and neither of them called me back. Until early october I received a phone call from an employer that asked me if i was still interested in a job, and I said sure I was.

That place now just Happens to be My Current Job In the grocery Store Bakery and it will be 3 years this upcoming October that Ive been there.

Ill never EVER quit that job. It has done SO much for me and has always been there for me. Ive gotten an increased wage so many times since Ive been there, I Have my own car now and pay for it, I also have dental benefits which cover 100% for me. and just the people I work with is reason enough to go in. There hasnt been a day in the past 3 years of working there that I didnt want to go in.

What I do there:
Close
Break out we call this because I have to break out the foodz for the next day that have to be baked (sweets, buns, scoop muffins, bagles, baguettes - whatever the fuck
packaging
Set up - Come in in the morning to full all the bins for the buns and bagles and fill the baskets with bread and shit then fill tables with the frozer order we get in.
Bake - Baker all the breads and buns and sweets, just whatever.


also, During those 3 years there, I also worked at another retail store (canadian tire) Full Time. WORST fucking place to work in. I HATED everday I had to go there. I thought it would have brought me in some extra Cash, but NO, they started you off at $8/h FULL TIME wtf, I made around $500 every two weeks LOL what a shit hole. I worked in the hardware department for about 3 months until things got all changed then they transfered me to the Sports Dept, Which was a little better because Iwas working with people my own age now. They then put my incharge of the Bike Section which was fucking dredful,

I had to go in the back room upstairs and bring whatever bikes I needed back down in to the floor, ONE by ONE and put them on the racks, some were on the floor and some were at about my height and some I had to clumb a fucking wobbly ladder to put up. and there was Two aisles I had to take care of.

needless to say I dont work there anymore. I Quit just before I summer really started to get underway. There was no way I was putting up with those stupid fucking customers all summer long for $8/h. I worked there for 6 months.
