How Many Of You Have A Job?

pral
I am a college student in my Junior year studying Graphic Design and Communications.

In my free time (well, my non-class time) I work as a Graphic Design assistant on campus (10$ / hr) and at night I work as a waitress to pay the bills. If anyone needs a great job that makes a lot of money, and you are friendly, you should definitely look into serving at a restaurant. You can make at least 100$ per night in tips at most restaurants, varying from the degree of the quality at the place, but it is also a great place to market yourself and make connections with the rest of the world.

I go to college, but I'm taking this semester off because I messed up my scheduling. I now work at UPS....and it's hell. Not because of the starting pay of $8.50 an hour, just the actual labor: Boxes get jammed up in the chute or they don't go all the way down the rollers. Sometimes they fall off....and that can happen so frequently that you can't even get out of the trailer! lifting up tp 50 lbs for 5 hours isn't exactly fun, but it is one hell of a workout. By the end of the first week I could feel that my arm muscles were bigger. I dunno if I'd recommend working there, though....it isn't exactly for everyone.

I used to work at this one logistic company its was rough to say the least. I did it for about 6 months because I needed the money, the pay wasn't great, just minimal wage or maybe a bit higher. The people there were not too friendly either. Most of them smoked, liked to drink and probably didn't care if they lived or died the next day. Also racism and discrimination was normal there. Thats a bit of an exaggeration but you get the idea lol. There was a few people there that I didn't mind they were OK good people who showed each other respect. The job started early like 6am and finish about 8 or more hours later. Sometimes they asked us to stay back because there was a lot more work that needed to be done.

Well the job was pretty much unloading containers all day :E. You know those containers that come off the boat. They rushed us too so after a while you build strong arms but man it was stupid because there would be very hard items like cans of food or what not and you would have one person toss it and the other catch and load it onto the pallets. This worked OK if the two are in tune but there would be times where someone would go too slow and the object would be tossed and either it was dropped or it hit you on the finger when you try and fail to catch it. We lost so much product from breaking them it was stupid, I dont know how the company deals with it they probably say it got damage in shipment and insurance will cover it or something.

The logistic companies hire people who ain't even trained properly for the job because its cheaper to pay someone unqualified. Theres been cases since I was there where a young kid who thought he was a hot shot started driving the folk hoist around even when he had not been trained to. Of course that day we happen to be moving some 40 inch LCD tvs around and he ended up dropping about 6 of them lol. I think all of them got damage and was just junk. Oh and We also move Dell computers in new Zealand lol. Dont buy them man I drop them on the ground like it was junk so does all the other workers there. I'm surprised they get there to their customers working lol.
If you see your box damaged you know its been treated badly.

That was my last job and probably worse ever in my whole life just because of the boss, co workers, and job was crap. I finally said screw this theres no point working here when I have other skills I should just try and get a better job.

well i have had a few jobs since i left school. the best two which i am successful with are :-

Aerial and sattelite fitter

When i left school this was my first job. Was there for two years. doing all sorts of stuff from foreign sattelites to just a tv point. best part of the job is your not just stuck in the same place all the time. you movin all round country meeting all kinds of people. plus the benefits of knowing how to do all this is that anyone you know will want you to do the work for then as they know and trust you.

Electrician

At the minute i am training to be an electrician. this is the hardest thing i have done. work four days a week and then on day release for college. the amount of stuff you have to learn is unbelieveable. i can do the job its just getting the qualifications. but just a year and half left to get them.

disco and karaoke's

this one i just do in my spare time in pubs and clubs. get to see all sorts when they drunk trying to sing

I have had a hell of a time in the job department lately. I always had a job for the summer. My first job was at Dairy Queen, and worked there for 3 summers--since I was 16. I only worked summers, especially since college because I would never have time during college. Finally I quit last summer, and now that classes are over I have been desperately searching for a job. I have had a bunch of interviews and filled out about 15 applications, but I couldn't seem to get a job. I was getting worried. Finally this morning I got offered a job at Bath and Body Works, and what a relief! You just have to make sure to call back about a week after you apply.
I actually used to work for my dad at the grocery store he owned when I was about 11-13. Then, I worked at Hillcrest Family Restaurant as a waitress, but I was only 15 and it was too much for me. So I worked at DQ when I was 16 and also worked at Crafts Direct senior year. CRAFTS DIRECT SUCKED. If you want a boring, stuck-up job, work there. I quit and returned to DQ. As a sophomore in college I decided I could do better than fast food, so I quit last summer. Now I am 19 and I'm going to be a junior, and I decided to try retail again and I'm excited to start at Bath and Body tomorrow. smile.gif
Good luck to all in their jobs/school/careers.
