How long have you been working and how many jobs have you had? Do you switch from job to job for whatever reason or do you just stick it out at one?
So I don't sound like a pervert, I'll answer my own:
Working 5 years and I can remember 12 jobs, not including various babysitting things, as those aren't real jobs.
Pretty much been working nonstop since I was able to (16.)
*edit, cuz I thought of one more*

I've tended to stick it out but I did quite my first one because of a sexually harassing boss, the second one was just a temporary summer job for three months and my current one has decent hours but I'm only holding out for a few more months until I graduate because I loathe it now thanks to being overworked.
1 shop, 4 bars, 1 hotel, 1 supermarket. also did some work for a temping agency but i don't count that
Hopefully I'll be on number 17 soon
So 6 jobs.
I haven't stopped lookign for something though. I've got a hunger to learn something new.
So, in total, since the age of 14, I have had 6 different jobs in 10 years but 5 years of university study too.
had paper round, bout 5 different bar jobs, worked in the lowery museum in salford, worked in a cinema, cut old peoples gardens for the council, worked on some mad phone line, distribution coordinator for a electric fire company, now im at my current job, so quite a few.
I've been a..
- Paper girl/Newsagent worker
- Photographers Assistant
- Coffee Bar Assistant (glorified way of saying a till worker, cook, waitress and cleaner combined)
- Gym receptionist
- Cleaner
and in a few weeks time, I'm doing a stint on the tills at Boots, for Xmas. After that, who knows?
ETA: Wow, just realised that I've been an AVON rep as well, around the Coffee Bar-Gym time. Nice to know there's absolutely no pattern to my lines of work!
had my first 'proper' job at 13 working in a corner shop for NZ$4 (less than £1.50) an hour. From then til I finished Uni at 22yrs old, I had loads of part-time jobs including:
retail assistant, office clerk, telemarketer, call centre operator, nanny, behavioural therapist.
since leaving uni and starting work full time I have had 6 jobs and will move to my 7th next month although they have all been in similar field and the last 4 of 7 are as Family Support Worker- just for different organisations and different client groups.
Worked in a video shop - 1 year
Door to door charity - 3 months
Tesco Call Centre - 3 months
Mecca Bingo - 2 years
Crappy call centre (Post office car insurance) - 7 months
3 mobile (responding to emails and letters) - been there since August this year
I like to feel settled though, and I do in my job now
