Worked at a restaurant/hote, still do when I go back in the holidays. Its insanely busy, the staff turnover is high and the pay is crap. But it is a pretty decent shop as it is a respectable restaurant during the day and a nightclub at night. Oh and I applied on my own.
I was 15 and it was the Winter Holidays. I needed some money so I went to this Christmas Tree farm and said "Hey, do you need help for a couple weeks?" and the guy and lady (nice couple from Oregon) said "Sure" and I worked for 10 bucks an hour for a couple weeks. They were really sweet and were concerned I was working too hard lol, they ended up giving me a 200 dollar bonus cuz they thought I earned more than 10 bucks an hour.
That was the job that made me fall in love with physical labor. If I won the lottery tomarow I'd work construction and/or demolition for the rest of my life.
My first job was at Wal-Mart as the Cart boy, it was terrible, manager was literally a coke head and was such a douche bag. Stayed there for 3 months and I quit. Now I am working at EB Games, have been for 8 months, and am absolutely loving it there.
A gas bar "fuel technician" (or pump jockey for those of us in the real world) I. got it through a reference from a friend... how everyone gets a good job these days, qualifications are meaningless if you have an "in."
My friend said he needed help for a few weeks at the resteraunt he worked at. I said yes and i bussed tables for a few weeks. After that I was talking to my friend in a 7-11 about how i needed a job when a construction contractor overheard our conversation and offered me a job in construction on the spot. I did that for about 8 months. Next job my neighbor was the manager of a grocery store nearby and I asked him if I could possibly have a job there, he said yes and I worked there for about 3 months (I quit because retail jobs suck). Next job (and current) was when my friend said he was going to quit his pizza delivery job. I asked if i could possibly take his place and he said to go talk to the owner. I did and now I deliver Pizza.
Technically, my first job was selling water in the street. It was my idea from my dad to encourage us to get an education, but it backfired, caunse I loved it. too bad it was a seasonal job, so I got a job at a gas station in BP, been working there since, and I'm planning to quit as soon as I find another job
i teach tennis at a tennis club that i started playing at. i had been at the club for a long time (about 6-7 years) and me and the tennis pro (he owns the place) became real good friends so when one of the other teaching aides went off to college, i quickly took his place although at first i was just teaching for no pay cuz i liked to teach but then when the pro found out that i never asked for pay he demanded that i fill out a time card haha.

Wow, this has to be the longest sentence I have ever read.
last year I started working at walmart. Pretty easy to get into. I applied, two weeks later got a call to come for an interview, got 2 interviews in the same day and I was in. Now all I do is sit in the lawn chairs in seasonal...
As a cook. Though i didnt have paper to proof that i can cook but the owner of the restaurant is my mum best friend and she did come to our house and tasted foods that i cooked for muslim festival. I do enjoy the job but yuck the pay so lousy and the time work do drain my energy. Its from 7am to 10pm without any rest day. My rest time only for 2 hours after lunch time. Now i m my own boss. I do many craft things like fake flowers...anything.

I love how companies try to make their low-level jobs sound important and exciting. You're not a gas pumper - you're a fuel technician! You're not a bank teller, you're a customer service officer! You're not a deli waiter, you're a sandwich artist!
[QUOTE="TwiztidJoker"]Worked on a farm milking cows, shoveling crap, and move hay bales. For five bucks a day. It sucked.mrbojangles25
a day? what country is this?
Maybe he was just really young and working for his parents. Most people's first job would be doing some odd chores around the house for beans, but they probably wouldn't consider that their first job.

I have friends who are paid cash-in-hand too and they're eighteen. I've always wondered if it's legal, since they don't pay taxes whereas my pay is taxed before I get it. I don't see why they should get to dodge it.

It depends who they're working for. But if they're being paid cash-in-hand, they probably aren't making enough to really matter when it comes to taxes. If you're talking about mowing lawns and such, none of those people would even make it into a taxable situation by the end of the year. And if they're working for their parents, the 'wages' could be called 'gifts,' and would be perfectly legal and perfectly untaxable, at least where I live.
