What was your first job?
I'm asking this question partly out of curiousity and partly because I'm applying for one. (Probably left it very late being 20 now, I don't know, is that late?)

i did 3 evenings and a saturday on £2.90 an hour and thought it was the best thing ever. heh.
Haha, I worked for Lloyds Chemist and my uniform was sooo unattractive. Nice white overcoat and a blue tabard (reminds me of the Big Breakfast sketch - woman in a tabard!!). The white overcoat was done up with poppers which would pop open as and when they felt like it. I think I earned £1.53 an hour and I was really chuffed with that, as Stokes across the road only paid £1.27.
Had a few other jobs since then, worked my way up the part time employment ladder!
Goddamn right I am man. My first job was basically one that required no previous experience and paid crap, but taught me enough stuff about retail to get a better paying job in a supermarket. This, in turn, gave me more experience to get a job in another better paid job that was also more enjoyable in a mobile phone shop and so on and so on.
Twenty isn't that late to get a job, I know people who won't have a job of any kind until they get a proper job after university. What job did you apply for?
Then I got a job in a shop, and that ended badly too.
All this at the tender age of 14!
my first job was as a housekeeper in a hotel. then a tescos till tart, and from there i went into office work.
You're going to make yourself known to the local temp agency, yes?
EDITED: Having checked a map, it comes out as roughly 25 miles.
Something i leanr on a course with the link, the customer is not always right but the customer is the customer. Make of that what you will
That is true, but after a 5 hour shift on a busy till you start to think differently...
Which was/is working for Tesco, when i first started it was £3.85 an hour which i was quite pleased whith, it was like woo-hoo earning money!
Which went up the longer i stayed there, and after i turned 18 to £5.58 an hour which isn't too amazing seeing as they are not giving me any of the over time i want, well need so i have been looking for a new job
I did that while at the university. Now, I'm working as a product manager at a tour operator.
