What is your Job?

[Misawa]

I've just been offered a job interview about 20 minutes ago, this late at night. Job hunting is extremely hard to come by these days, so I am relieved, and hope the interview goes well. Anyway, I thought I'd make a thread where everyone can post their current jobs, as well as any they had prior.

When I was in Sixth Form, I worked at a supermarket part-time. I am a freelance writer currently, and have been for a couple of years now. I ghostwrite blogs, articles, proodread and the like for those who need such services, in exchange for money, obviously. I also am a script consultant and in most cases doctor for those send me their screenplays, which is good money. I am a film-maker on top of that, as my signature suggests, and am this close to making my first professional feature. *Fingers crossed*.

Anyway, yes, what is your job/history?

[cocaine]

job history is empty, im only in year 11 and since im not 16 until july (:'() i wont be getting a proper job anytime soon.

however i do have a paper round, which is only £15 a week but atm i dont need a lot of money.

[Captain]

None so far, it's ridiculously hard to get a job these days. :(

Im hoping that TJ Hughes will accept me once i hand this application in though!

[Coldplay]

I'm one big unemployed fool.

It really is. I had to give up my supermarket job to concentrate on other things, but I'd go for anything. Luckily I'm going to be full-time if I pass the interview, just have a lot of training first though.

[SUPERhanna.]

i used to serve drinks at jjb football satadium, but i work at kfc part time now.

[buttons]

mod on a forum!!
nah, nothin. i used to put out leaflets into letterboxes that's bout it. u can't get any jobs unless your fulltime and 16+ here

[Misawa]

I could never work at a fast food place, maybe Subway, but not somewhere which is just grease city.

[SUPERhanna.]

ino its horrid, we even have to wear special shoes because if you wore anything different you would just slip on the greasey floors

[Axel]

nver had a job

[Misawa]

And I bet you stink after every shift.

[e5]

to go to school lol

[dirrty]

i get paid for doing nothing from my parents.

i want a job, but theres nothing good around here. my college has vacancies as cleaners (which my friend has just started), but im not that desperate for money.

[Neversoft]

I currently don't have a job, and the only job I have ever had was working at Sainsbury's part-time last year. College takes up my entire week and I have things to do at the weekend, so a job is out of the question until summer atleast. I rely solely on ema for money, although I know of a shop that will sell your own doujinshi (fan-made manga) for free. So me and my mate are going to have a go at that, since he's brilliant at art, and I'm brilliant at writing. It's also kind of related to what I want to do later in life as well, so that's good. My dad sometimes gives me money for helping out around the house, he's also giving me like £100 because him and my brother are going to Ireland for a week and I didn't want to go. So I have to stay and look after the house and pet's. :8 I also do a one hour radio show every week at college, I should get paid for that because I'm so amazing, but I don't. :P

[Foals]

Nothing atm but I start working in Woolworths on the 20th. Better than nothing, haha! Spent the last 3 months looking for work!!

[PaintYourTarget]

I work at Tesco identifying stock which needs to be cleared and reducing it to a price to do so... which, pretty much means I print off my stock lists and tell the departments to do it themselves if they haven't already. Good times.

[Misawa]

It's pretty much harder than ever to come by.

[Bun]

Kentucky Fried Chicken, it's like the newest branch in the country though, so it's quite clean ;).

[Misawa]

Give it two weeks and all you will be able to smell is thick cloying grease.

[Azul]

I'm an IT technician in a school.

[Wayne]

I used to work in WH Smith but it got repetitive on the till. I need a job though. :(

[Bun]

i've been working there 2 and a half months lol... it's cleaner than people make out to be.

[Misawa]

I realised I didn't even say what the job was. I'm being interviewed for a placement as a "Forensic Photographer".

[Paulio]

Well I quit my original full-time college course so now I'm doing a part-time course aswell as working part-time with my dad, painting & decorating.

[mat64]

I work at Sainsbury's on Bakery, 12 hours a week.

[Corporal]

You mean soco?

[Misawa]

No, it isn't SOCO. It's an academy centre. If I get the job I'll be trained there. I'm useless at Science, I got a C at GCSE, but that's enough to be a photographer in that field.

And thanks, Buttons.

5.70 an hour, 25% discount on games and everything but consoles which is 10%. Free game if you work hard.

[Misawa]

As this is my thread and people asked the questions. Isn't there anything more contructive you can do than spend the time to quote every single post I've made in again, my thread. This is about EMPLOYMENT, and thus people can post whatever the hell they like that relates to that subject.

You see that chip? Yeah, get it off your shoulder.

[Callum.]

Don't worry, he does it to every thread, but no-one even takes notice to what he says anymore.

Nice one mate, might try there myself, but my birthday's in 18 days, so I'll hand it in few days earlier then. Not sure if my shop will have vacancies though, cus few geeks are in mine. Nice pay, nice benifits.

Gunna try starbucks, decent pay yaknow.

[mangle]

You don't have to be 18, i'm not!:P

[xBenxx]

i might apply xD

[mangle]

It depends really, if they have vacancies then shoot. My mate has applied like 10 times and never got in once whereas I tried once and got in. I assume it was due to a lucky timing.

[Misawa]

And I got the job.

lol kyle shut up.

[Misawa]

Oh I thought you were talking about like an organisation or something. No I see that you mean a Scene of Crime Officer, right? I just say CSIs because it sounds better ;). Yeah, I'll be working alongside those guys when it comes to crime, but just taking photographs. I have a 3 day intensive training course starting Thursday through Saturday. Apparently the SoCos themselves used to take all the needed photographs, but that has since changed in my area and I'm the first to take the position. I guess some areas need them, and others don't.

[xBenxx]

lol kyle shut up.

who is kyle lol

[JackBuddy]

And I got the job.
congrats!

[Misawa]

Thanks.

[dirrty]

Thanks.

im sure you got some acting gig coming up or something (if that is you), aswell as this photographer job?

if so, congrats on both.

[Inseriousity.]

his life going pretty well for him atm. lol :)

Employment wise, mine's not so good although I might be getting a call soon and I got a reference from somebody in the company and if I stay for 6 months I get a £300 bonus because of the reference.

[Misawa]

The acting role is for 2009. This is my first full-time job, which will go on until my film goes into production.

[Callum.]

You don't have to be 18, i'm not!:P
