What Was Your First Job?

[AB Editor]

And would you ever want to go back to it? Maybe part time in retirement for example?

[Svejk]

Dishwasher. I'd give it a go.

[ummmm]

I had a weekend job working as a kitchen hand.

Worked in the family pub for pocket money.

Got a job in an office filing, hated it, so started working full time in a different pub.

My first job as a teenager was part time in a nightclub collecting glasses, then later I was promoted to door and coats. It's not there any more. I don't know if I'd do it again. I'd need better pay for a start.

[ummmm]

I was a welder's assistant in a silencer factory. No, I wouldn't want to go back to it at all.
The welder had a real skill for using a long metal pole to clonk moving rats.

I have only had one job - DWP from 1980 to 2004 (when I was 40) they gave me money so that I would leave. Since then Cat Herding and some voluntary work.

I was headhunted whilst still at school by a chap who ran a recruiting agency.

He wanted someone to rotovate his (rather large) veg patch....

No, I wouldn't do it again.

[andy-hughes]

Very first P/T job was as a barman, and also working weekends in my parents' supermarket.

My first F/T job was a solicitor's clerk.

I would not go back to any of them under any circumstances.

[ChillDoubt]

6 month YTS in a carpentry firm. Enjoyed it but glad I subsequently joined HM Forces.

[Arksided]

Morrisons part time after School... and nope I still have nightmares about frozen chickens.

[Baldric]

Car Salesman, before I even held a Licence, I was mature looking for my age and no-one ever asked. I could drive ok but ... ... ..
got away with it.
Just after I got a Licence I was offered a job with a local Lotus Agency run by a pair of 'mad' Irish Brothers, what a load of fun that was for a couple of years before I got into the RMs.
Would I do it again, probably.

[chrissa1]

I had a Saturday job as a shop assistant in a stationery store in, Newcastle. Yes, I would do it again if I had to, but my legs aren't 17 years old anymore.

[melv16]

I had a Saturday job working in a fishing tackle manufacturers. I'm still using some of the lead weights I managed to purloin. No, I wouldn't go back, I must have stamped out thousands of fishing brolly frames.

[Jackdaw33]

Saturday girl in a chemist - maybe for the discount
supermarket checkout girl - not now you don't have to tap in the prices
blackcurrant picker - never in a million
