Where was your first job?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to apply for my first job (I'm 16) and I've applied in a lot of places but still no luck. Every place (fast food restaurants, retail, etc.) is asking for my previous jobs at other stores, but I'm still trying to get my first job! I have to start somewhere... :P How about you guys, where was your first job, and was it easy to get accepted?

At a stable taking care of horses..

Mcdonalds worked there* my freshman year of hs for the Summer

16, McDonalds. I still can't eat there.

My first job was mowing the lawn that was when i was 13

A now-non existant CD store called Sam Goody. Worked there from age 16 to 21.Engrish_Major

i used to referee youth soccer games when i was i 7th/8th grade. my first real job was a cashier at acme ( local grocery store ) and i hated it

Washing dishes at a hotel/golf resort. I used to make $400 every 2 weeks and when you're 15 you feel rich.

I worked for a company doing demolition (and disposal). Nothing was more fun than going into a warehouse with nothing more than a hammer and screw driver and getting some good ol' fashioned exercise while letting out aggression.

Around the corner of Knix and Seventh.

It was either working at a Wendy's or haying for a farmer. I don't remember which was first because I did both that summer. I was 15 at the time.

first job was dishwashing at a small local restaurant when I was 15.

next job was -- dishwashing, at 16 (different restaurant, previous place closed down). in the 6 months I was there I made it up to prep-cook, which was a million times better than DW

then I moved to Florida, and did mortgage/home loan crap (age 17) over the phone, program folded 1 month after I was hired. I was offered the chance to switch buildings and sell magazines over the phone, but decided against it as college started in a month anyways, and I'd be moving 2 hours up the road.

Didn't work through college (was a full time, 40 hour a week at classes alone, with an extra 20+ hours of homework)

post college graduation, I worked as a wax mixer, that ended a couple months back (was a holiday duration job)

waiting on phonecall right now for a VFX job (what I went to college for)

I don't know that you would want my first jobs.

first one was at a worm farm.

Then shoveling stuff at a chicken ranch.

and I finally graduated to doing chores on a farm....which is back breaking labour

Iowa scares me. Just saying, I have driven through that state on my trip between Indiana/Nebraska enough times that I know enough not to stop when within the borders.

Dish washer cause my dad worked there. It was under the table though but I was making 50 bucks in 7 hours.
My first real job with a check and everything was working with concret (Pouring it moving it around leveling it) I had to dig alot to. Very hard work...not worth the 9 dollars an hour I was making. ( I could make 8.50 at mcdonalds just standing around) So I quit.

Delivering papers. Pretty sweet, pretty sweet.

Working part time at 16, at a Pharmacy.

Los Angeles Air Force Base

Farmers market. Got myself some good tips literally.

Merseyside Fire and Rescue, I was doing Data Entry there and it put me off working with computers so now im working with in a Children's centre and I love it, Dont get me wrong, The place was nice, The pay was GREAT and the people were friendly but the work didnt intrest me.

I'm still at my first job, they hired me because I was 14 at time and was cheap to pay.

Now that I'm almost 16, I might quit. I don't get many shifts these days :(

16....my step-dad got be a job painting machines that the company built. It was ok pay but only and only a few hours after school. It was pretty cool, I learned about paint materials, listened to lots of loud music and got to wear a cool looking space-like suit. Oh yea and the hot milf's that worked in the front office thought I was a cutie.....ah the good ole' days.
