Where Do You Work / What's Your Job?
 
Where do you work / what's your job? You don't need to name companies, cities, etc. You can merely say "I'm a customer service representative" or "I'm a retail sales associate", etc.

I work at an ice cream parlour beside the beach; it opens May 1st and I'm doing training this coming week. It's my first job, and it's a great one at that. Much better than fast food. I even get a little white hat and a pink shirt as a uniform.

I don't have a job at the moment but I've been trying to get a job at my local clothing store. ;]

i dont have a job, but i am looking for one.

Yusshin April 22nd, 2010 7:25 AM

Jobs are scarce, but don't give up! It took me eight months to find mine, and I have my WHMIS, Food & Safety, and Customer Service certificates, as well as good references from the instructors who rewarded me the certificates and my outreach teacher.

Just be persistent!

I wish I got 40h/w...I'm lucky to get 20. What's worse is that I'm getting paid minimum wage here. >_<

ILoveDragonite April 22nd, 2010 11:36 AM

Really? I was hired on the spot actually...didn't even want my resume, must be my charming good nature <_<

Right now I'm jobless, but have been looking for a job for some months now. I hate job hunting D: my previous part time jobs included:

- "Barista" for a coffee roasting company. They didn't have a store, but did town fairs almost year-round and farmer's markets over the summer. At fairs I would take and fill orders, from actual drink orders to bagged coffee orders and gift baskets. Farmer's markets I would get to really early in the morning and give out free coffee and sell bagged coffee.
- Ice cream scooper/cake maker. This was the best job in the whole world, I got free ice cream and toppings, and since it was open during the winter, I used the empty time to do homework or study. My coworkers were also really awesome. Unfortunately I ended up destroying my wrist(s) in the process and was told if I kept working I'd make it a lot worse and need surgery. This was about two/three years ago, and I've been going to physical therapy for a few months because of it.
- Though not technically a job, I "work" at anime/gaming conventions as an artist. I set up a table in their Artist's Alley/Colony and sell fanart, buttons, prints, posters, do on-site commissions, etc. I used to do this with two friends of mine, we started about five years ago, but with them away at college it's hard for them to do them. I'm slowly losing interest in them as well, so I mostly go to hang out with webcomic/fellow artist friends.

I'm only half jobless. Right now I'm nothing more than a temporary for hire worker for labor. I'm searching for a job that's better than this one, because even though I show up, I just am not getting any jobs...I go there, sit there for 2 hours and not even called on once to fill a job order. >_>

NarutoActor May 18th, 2010 11:49 AM

I work at amc, either doing floor, concession, tickets, or booth.

devilicious May 18th, 2010 12:36 PM

Pre-School English Teacher is my part-time job and has been for like... three years now. I only work when they're short on people now though, because of college.

Sammi May 18th, 2010 1:31 PM

I work at a pizza place in the mall. I work mornings, which means that after 2PM it gets very very dull very very fast. :(

SIN1488 May 18th, 2010 6:34 PM

I'm basically a carpenters assistant, though we do more than woodwork, like painting and stuff.

I work as an IT intern right now. I'm also going to be on a trial basis at another company doing everything from home theater wiring to network support for some small businesses nearby.
