My first job was a bit job too. My then boufriend's neighbour was on holiday for 2 weeks when I was 16 and I filled in at the little shop where she worked. I got £80 for 2 weeks work, slave labour but it seemed like millions to someone who survived on £4 a week pocket money!!

After that I worked at Blackburn Rovers on a food counter (never eat pies at a football match is all I can say to that). It was my fave job as I got to watch most of the games and see a few famous faces.

I left Rovers to work at Morrisons when I was 17 and thank the lord I leave there on Thursday

Morrisons is one of the places ive applied for, god help me! lol

My first job was at a local bakers when I was about 13 or 14. Can't remember what the pay was like, but on a Saturday we got to take home all the unsold cream cakes! I used to be cycling home with about 4 boxes' worth fastened to the back of my bike! Funnily enough, none of us buy cream cakes now...

my first job was last year when i was 14. In St.Annes, we have the Golf Tournemant (it's about the most exciting thing that happens here) So at school they gave us a chance to work there - collecting litter.

So for just over a week a was a Biffa-Girl, walking round with a big brown paper bag and huge gloves on - we didn't even get a cool picky-up stick

I really don't think i'm gonna do that again - i came home and just slept!

Now, i'm working at a trendy clothes shop - isn't really ideal but i know the guy who runs it and they pay is good for what i do

My first job was when i was 19.. as part of a Government training scheme i worked four days a week and went to college for one day. I worked for a small road haulage company, answering the telephone, typing up invoices etc. The atmosphere was real laid back, i didn't have to wear a uniform or anything like that.. just jeans and t-shirt or whatever i was comfortable in it. I got on with the two bosses like a house on fire. Unfortunately they couldn't afford to employ me themselves but they gave me £50.00 as a leaving present. It was the only time i was really happy in a job. I didn't work before that as my dad wouldn't let me

My first job was when I was 14 working on a Saturday in a chemist shop - that was good fun especially when you had the young lads come in to buy durex - they got *so* embarrassed

my first job was working in the local department store - all designer clothes for the middle aged middle classes and women on cosmetic counters in FAR too much make-up. I worked in the accounts department and on the switchboard answering the phones. i also had to do the tannoy announcements - aaagh! it was absolutely awful.
but then i left and went to work in a guitar shop which was totally cool

Newspaper delivery boy..it was cool i suppose.

Worked in a clothes shop, then worked in a DIY store, then worked in a birds eye factory doing pea-sampling, then had a placement job at an IT firm.. most of them sucked.. *shrug*

My first job was delivering the local free weekly paper. My mum paid my sister to help me and I kept all the money from the newspaper! I suppose she got peace and quiet for an hour or so, so it was worth it. 12 years later and I'm still delivering newspapers... on a national scale this time tho

My best job (apart from what I do now) was working for a University College doing the timetables. More interesting than you'd think, actually.

Worked in Debenhamds on the Handbag department. Switched to the jewellery dept as soon as possible & then moved to the watch repair counter.

I worked in Debenhams for a total of 5 years. Some part time, some full time god help me.

My first job was as a hairdresser , I hated it although in saying that it comes in handy for the kids
Four lots of hair cuts to pay out for every month would get pretty expensive

I got my first job when i was 16 and it was in my local Somerfields. I was put in the kiosk with the lottery, cigarettes and alcohol. And ended up working on both lottery days!!! We had no tannoy and no buzzer so whenever i had to sell alcohol i had to shout 'alcohol' hold it up for an over 18 member of staff to see and ok it.....me thinks they put me there because of my loud voice!!

Thats the worse job i've had, and the only one i've had a school. After that it was reception and office work during the summer then 2 years with Sky Digital Customer Services, the doing Life Assurance with the bank and now the cinema which is my fave. And next year when i finish uni i need a full time big persons job

I think i've done almost every type of part time job there is going with the exception of a paper round

My first paid job was at Blackburn Rovers football ground on the food counters and i sooooooooooooo echo what Miss Kitty said about not eating the pies. ick

After that i worked at Burger King and then McDonalds (and after seeing behind the scenes at both i'd much rather eat at BK)

Then i worked in a Nightclub doing PR work, at the same time as working at McDonalds and working nights at a local pub and doing 5 A-Levels (Not recommended!!!)

Then while i was at Uni I worked for Barclays telephone banking, as a waitress at a posh restaurent (they sacked me when i got my eyebrow pierced) the Post Office, Boots (Now that sucked!) and Electronics Boutique.

After leaving Uni I worked as a 100 and 999 operator for BT to get some money coming in and now i work for the Guardian

So, if i get sacked i've got a few skills to fall back on

And good luck with the job hunt Eve!

My first job was cleaning a house that the organist at my church was doing up when I was about 14...I got £5 an hour -I was sooo chuffed!!

I did my sisters paper round for a bit, and the I went to work at Waitrose when I was 16, and I'm still there now!

My first job was at 14, I worked at the corner shop for an hour every evening after school. I got £1.10 an hour! Didn't work again till I was at Uni, when I did Sundays in George at Asda (discount on clothes yay!) Couldn't get a 'real' job as soon as I graduated so also worked Saturday mornings at Ladbrokes (very depressing!), and evenings at Blockbuster Video, which I loved (free rental and a discount!). I was a very tired bunny for a while. Then I managed to get a temping type office job and the rest is history. I am now a full-time chained-to-my-desk-type person.

My first job was at Next. Was only temporary, thankfully, the sale just about killed me (not very good at crowds, i freaked)

Worst job was Barclays telephone banking. Don't know how Syd found it, but spending my days making peoples lives more difficult due to the stupid system and failing to sell them stuff like i was supposed to made me very miserable.

Best job probably what i do now, although this week isn't a good example as its absolutely manic. On the phones still, but as i'm on a helpdesk i actually occasionally help people and solve things (yes, it does happen )

My first job was working in a farm-vet's practice, there's nothing quite like mucking out the stables or poorly horses !!!!!!

Best job was I guess as a guitarist. Pub gigs were a lot of hassle, but they were a lot of fun too, and the cash didn't hurt.

I start my first job tomorrow.

Delviering leaflets and papers
