How many jobs have you already had? I had many jobs. My first job was as an Office Staff in a Japanese company and I lasted only for a week. Then I've worked in a food chain for several months. After that I've worked in another food chain as a Marketing Officer. I've also work as an Office Staff in an airline company as well as in a real estate company. My previous job was as a Teller and now I'm currently applying as a Technical Support Representative. How bout you?

I actually haven't had that many jobs in my life and that became very obvious while I was out job hunting today. I've only worked in a salon and 2 daycares. When I was in high school, my mom never wanted me to get a job because she wanted me to focus on school, so I got behind on the job thing when many of my peers had jobs. I'm only 23 too. I feel like I haven't done much, but I guess my experience, or lack there of, isn't really hurting my chances because I have an interview at a new daycare tomorrow morning. I'm crossing my fingers.:)

Sometimes I still miss those libraray works and the teaching job too,but I guess I have learned to embrace the corporate world and enjoyed it too. I don't think everyone who works in the library love books because I had one co-workers there before who doesn't enjoy reading at all.

I knew it! Not all who works at the library loves books. Sometimes people stick to a job although they don't enjoy it because they need to pay the bills. I'm glad you're not one of them. And you seem pretty happy working in the corporate world now. Take care!

Hello brew2x, I had five jobs in the past. In all this jobs I have gain many experienced and have a lot of thing fro them. My first one was when I was in college still studying I worked for a fastfood chain as a service crew for more than one year. After that I stopped and concentrated on my studies until I graduated. After graduation I have worked for semiconductor subcontractor company as an industrial engineer. Afterwhich I was transferred and promoted to work as an officer in production planning and customer service department. I left the company and moved to another one of the same line, where I worked as a Customer service engineer representing foreign customers. I have also experienced work in marketing and sales of computers. I have handled a service department for a local appliance distributor company. Currently, I am working on my own together with my sisters in an Engineering Service Company. We handle installation, parts supplies and maintenance services by subcontructing for a local fastfood chain company here in our country. I also do computer technical service and support. :-)

Hi eprado! I envy you because you were able to work while studying back in college. Actually that's my plan before. Me and my friends applied for a job then but since they discontinue the application, I did the same. I've noticed that your past experiences works for you and they are closely related to your current job, it is really great. I'm glad to know you do technical service and support. I was hired to be a technical support representative and I might be needing your help in the future ... LOL ... =)

I'm up to my 9th job, though one job was a part time gig while I was still at school, and two of the other jobs were second jobs when I was saving for trips overseas. I've done everything from custormer service, public service and legal secretary work, and I'm now an ESL teacher in China (and a freelance writer). And when I eventually decide to go home, it will mean yet another job, but I think that's a long way off. For the time being, I'm very happy with what I am doing.

I haven't had as many jobs as many of my friends. My first job in high school was milking cows, which I would do every after rain or shine for several years. The farmer sold his business or I would have worked there while attending college. In college, I did welding and sheep shearing, which is why my back bothers me now. Shearing sheep is a hard way to earn a living and I would suggest any other way including digging ditches. When I graduated from college, I taught school for a couple of years and then left to run my own business farming water plants. I am still growing water plants and fish. I will admit farming is not an easy way to earn a living, but I enjoy working with plants.

Hi Fishmomma! Quite a skill you've got there. You are pretty good at taking care of animals and plants. Farming is really hard yet you manage to learn a lot about it. I think it is really enjoyable working in a farm. I used to play a game called Harvest Moon and it is basically about farming, I enjoy it a lot and I know I will enjoy the real thing though it will be really really tough for me. I hope I can do what you are doing just to experience it even just for a while =)

I stuck to a single job as an editor of a government sponsored production of Encyclopedia in my vernacular tongue. Now that I have retired after putting in 20 years of service I pursue the same kind of job for a private establishment.

Hi CEN777! Just three jobs in twenty one years? That is great because you are able to stay long in all the companies that you have worked and currently working for. I've also noticed that your career path is quite good because I'm guessing you are an Engineering graduate and all your works are related to what you have studied. Thanks for posting! =)
