Where does everyone work?

[DevoutHeiress]

It's always good to know where people work, you get a better insight of that person.. and a topic to PM about, or bring up in the ChatBox.

I'll start this up.
I used to work for Starbucks, serving up a mean cup of coffee, but now I'm employed with the Marriott as their Front Desk.

Don't forget to ask questions too, it brings the fun into it!

Alright, GO.

I used to work at McDonalds and then a small cafe while at school.

Now I am at uni and working part-time for 'The Department of Aging, Disability and Home Care' - my job involves working in residential homes for people with intellectual disabilities in a caring role. It is a pretty good job. A lot of work but rewarding.

@ a local Theatre on weekends twice a month and my other job just laid me off

 

[DevoutHeiress]

Those sound like interesting jobs! And yes, bubble fish... that sounds like hard work, but I bet you've developed a good relationship with the people you take care of.

Healy, what job laid you off

I work at a local supermarket for ths summer and perhaps in the weekends when school begins again - we'll see if my boss wants make a new contract with me then.

I'd be more interested to know how anyone's managed to get employed at all, considering the economy. I can't get so much as an interview lately.

I used to work at a shoe store called Shoe Show..I was there for 3 years. Then last year I got hired (before I even applied) at a store called Belk where I work in the shoe dpt. I've asked for an area transfer so in the next few weeks I'll be training in home store. That's where all the bedding, cook ware, dishes and such are...I'll also be doing bridal registry and china orders. I'm just happy to be getting out of shoes, it'd be even better if I could just get an office job...I hate working with the public since they are, in general, rude and flat out stupid.

I need to figure out how to concisely describe my occupation... for tax purposes, I'm a self employed private contractor listed as a "sound technician". But I'm not actually an engineer or "technician"... I'm also not a "roadie" as I don't go "on the road" (touring). I get contracted by a music production/PA rental company to provide labor for setting up stage, lights and sound for events ranging from graduations and parties, to corporate events, to shows and concerts. But my relationship with the company I work with is as if I were actually an employee.

What I do is set up for any kind of live sound situation, and in a full work day I might load the trucks at the shop and unload them on site; build a stage; assemble lifts and truss; place speakers, monitors, lights, microphones and other musical equipment; assist in patching and setting up consoles; perform the duties of a stage hand or assist an engineer; then take everything down and load the trucks again when the show is done. The company I work with is based in Brooklyn but we do work all over the city, on Long Island, and even in New Jersey and Connecticut.

I also occasionally do woodwork and/or painting with a friend of the family.

I worked at my college's bookstore at the beginning of this year. It was pretty fun. But it was really tiring. 7 hour shifts after full days of school, constant work helping people find books, stocking shelves, cleaning, etc. It was fun though.

I used to work as a volunteer in my church library... I don't know how many years.. but I started when I was 15 I think.

At present I have no job, and cant find one. I'm hoping to get one in the public library system, or maybe an academic library. Whatever I can find.

Well I worked at Best Buy for 2 years right after high school but now I serve in the U.S. Navy. Not a bad gig if I say so myself.

I don't know about the US but in Australia there is still a huge need in our welfare system. Specifically in aged care and disability. It is at the point where the government is giving free training to be able to gain these jobs. That is how I got in, as well as a good word from my mother who was already working within the department.

In 3 days I will no longer work for an Italian restaurant here and will be working at a cadet camp for the summer

 

[beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees]

Actually, I have an interview at Wendy's later on today. It's not quite the job I was hoping for, but you've got to start somewhere. Your prayers and good wishes are more than welcome, although I hope I won't need them.

I just finished up my first year teaching second grade at a Lutheran school. It was pretty awesome.

A lutheran school? I didn't know that those existed. Wow.

Been working in the Army for over 2 years now.

David's Bridal laid me off (nobody's getting married)

 

[megansophia]

I work in the jewelry section at sears. Probably one of the worst jobs on the planet. I make 6.50 an hour and get yelled at all day. Fun. But I'm still thankful that I at least have a job in this economy.

 

[JoyousAimee]

I work at a Bible Camp where I am a (SMI) Summer Missionary Intern, it is Super and it's Great seeing God work in peoples lives!
