I assisted in the office of the local book shop when I was a junior & senior. It's located in Sebastopol, CA. I just checked & there's now 11 locations in three counties. When I worked at the main one I believe there were two or three others. I answered phones, filed, did data entry, ran errands. My dad was the office manager/accountant & that's how I got my first job.

I was a janitor for the schools. I worked two hours after I got done with classes every day and 40 hours a week during the summers. There is an organization called OACAC here that hires underprivileged kids. I started when I was 13 years old and worked for them until I graduated from high school.

That's an interesting job. I was a branch secretary of an appliance store in our place. I learned a lot of things from that work including how to entertain potential buyers. I realized that I have a skill in sales. I stayed there for three years.

My first job was as a library clerk, back when the library was shifting from manual card catalogs to an Online Public Access System. My main task was to encode the books into the system. It was tedious and a lot of work, but I truly enjoyed those few years working in the library.
