I guess we're talking about our first casual/part time job and not 9-5.

My first job was when I was 13/14 working from home with an Online Community. Was great pay, great working conditions (from the comforts of my own home) but as many companies did - went bust after the dot com crash.

Probably as a night fill at Big W. I've had an interview, went well, and yesterday they rang asking for my reference's. One of them being my coach, I told him and he said "OK, I'll be sure to lie and tell them lots of nice things about you if they ask." Haha.

First part time job, 13 working for a riding school, riding the horses from their weekday paddocks, to the riding school early saturday morning, then sunday afternoon riding them back to the paddocks.

Pay moneywise zilch, but could ride the horses anytime I wanted for free, loved it.

I was a maccas girl. And it was the best thing that could have happened for me as maccas experience makes you very employable (well, if you make the most out of it, it does anyway)

Besides, those Saturday Age's were a killer.

i worked as a hawker...for a week!
the worst job one can take part in. Walking the streets all day, people stare at you; some feel sorry for you, most hate your guts. we sold stuff like candles, wiggles packs, and cheaps arse calculators! when i went to apply, they never actually said what exactly the job required...my first day, i jumped in a car with a guy who was working there, and we took off to the western suburbs. I couldn't believe what i had gotten myself into. The guy i was with loved it... but he had so many guys abuse him verbally. I lasted the week and buggered off.
NEVER, EVER WORK AS A HAWKER!
