Your first job

My first "real" job (other than babysitting while I was in school or helping my uncle in his office during the summer) was as a secretary in a bank (at age 18). I worked for the head of the bookkeeping department for 4 months, then got a promotion to work for 5 officers on the main floor. One of my duties was to handle wire transfers for the US Navy payroll. I had to decode the transfer and encode a response to send it back. I took dictation from all 5 officers and was kept very busy. This was before computers, and I had to use a standard typewriter...not even an electric typewriter back in those days. Now, 46 years later, I'm still a secretary (part time) and it's so much easier to do things today. I've really seen a lot of changes in that field during my working career.

I never had a chance to work while stufying. It was all academic and concentrate in school. I was never allowed to do part time jobs or anything. So my first real job was then only after i finished college. I was starting to small and landed on a small company with a small accounting section. It was a good start for me and a good place to learn and get some experience. I was able to make lots of friends from there too. I left after a year and a half being with the company. This time looking for higher wage and bigger opportunities.

well....my first job was of a teacher...and it was a worth it experience....i really have some good memories of it...coz my students loved me alot

Other than babysitting, my first job was as a dishwasher/kitchen assistant at an upscale restaurant in my hometown. My uncle worked as a chef there and helped me get the job.
