The worst job I’ve ever had was probably working at Petsmart, in Sand City. I have had a lot of jobs and this made me realize I don’t like working at corporations or in retail. I grew up in the country and have always had jobs doing physical labor either at my parent’s farm, or the surrounding farms. When I first started working at Petsmart I liked it. As time went on I started to see how bad it really was. The management was horrible, I was assigned for a graveyard type job, and no one did anything until the District manager was coming in that week.…
Having a job where you are constantly working with the public can become very overwhelming at times. I currently work at La Vita’s II Pizzeria where I have many responsibilities that come with my job. My job is to take pick up and delivery orders, answer phone calls, wait on tables, and clean the dining area as well as the counter area. Majority of the days I work aren’t too bad, but when I work from open to close it becomes a lot and can stress me out sometimes. I’m usually the only person working so it becomes a lot of work when you don’t have help. I would say that I am good at my job because I think that I am good at dealing with people. Sometimes orders get wrong and I have to deal with the unhappy and disappointed customers.…
As a Chinese-American, my family expected me to help out at the restaurant while maintaining straight A's in school. But, it wasn't easy; every day, I would report to the restaurant after school and immediately start working. Inside the kitchen, I would pack all the orders into aluminum containers, place them into a brown bag, and insert packets of sauces and utensils. Burns and cuts were common due to the terrible and tearable aluminum containers. Outside at the front desk, I would answer the seemingly endless ringing phones. In many instances, customers had to wait either on the phone or at the front desk for me to find their orders on the computer, even after they showed me where it was on the menu. During lunch hours, the pressure was even…
Before I went back to school I had worked at several places that paid minimum wage and did not offer much room for advancement. I tried convenient store work, Medical Records Clerk, or Unit Secretary, and even driving a semi tractor trailer over the road. I just was not making very much money. Oh, I paid my bills…
My first job was horrible. I did not really know how bad those fast food jobs really were until I got my first job. I was a cook at Whataburger. Yes Whataburger in Decatur, the Texas treasure, the Alcatraz of the west, the worst place to work in America. Believe me when I say that Whataburger is the closest thing to hell a human can experience. Maybe not that far, but it is bad. The job was not that bad at first. Everyone would joke around be relaxed, and have a good time. However, Whataburger does something to you. Whataburger sucks your soul out of you in an agonizing process known as “Whataburger’ll do that to ya,” killing you slowly everyday. A variety of factors would contribute to…
I attended Head Start as a student. Three years after graduated from Head Start, my mom began working for them. She started out as a cleaning lady and after a few years moved up the chain to cook and then eventually a teacher. So, since I was about 7 years old I was volunteering. I loved being around the children, the teachers and just the setting in general. When I was old enough, I also began working at Head Start as a teacher’s aide. I later went to work for the University of Idaho Children’s Center, where I figured out that I wanted to work with children as a career.…
over the summer I got a job as a lifeguard at the Stratford Richardson YMCA. getting this job has changed every aspect of my life from emotionally to physically and much more. these life changes have been both positive and negative effects that have taught very valuable lessons that I will use later in life and others that most likely will fade to the back of my mind. overall I will say that getting this job has been the best thing in my life.…
The first place I went to was Jimmy Johns. I learned that they will hire anyone looking for a job because if you are old enough you can cut meat, but if you're not old enough you can just make sandwiches. I also learned that you have to be eighteen to drive the take out car. They have flexible hours for us college students and will work with us on what fits best for our schedule.…
My start was working at Safeway as a clerk. Although the job had no room for advancement it taught me two things—I liked helping people and I had to go to college to create better opportunities for myself. After pondering possible career moves I made up my mind; since I liked…

My first job was being a babysitting for a while, which I loved then it hit…
The service that I did with the poor was at St. Vincent De Paul. I took the bus with a friend after school on a random Thursday with Ms. Reuter driving the bus, which I didn’t expect her to know how to do at all. It was my first time working there, because I had only worked at the distribution center the year before for confirmation. When we arrived we all signed in and they put the people who had been there before in their normal locations. My friend and I got split up, with me in charge of sorting all of the donated canned foods and my friend went over to move pallets around. While I was working with one of the staff there, I made friends with some freshmen that were also working with me. They started calling me silly names like “broth boy” because at some point I got in charge of sorting canned broths.…
I first wanted to be a Certified Nursing Assist (CNA) at the age 16. I had to do community service for Graffiti. I was given a job as an activity assistant at a nursing home. I enjoyed it so much! The people there are so much fun to work with. The best part about it was being able to help them read the paper, play bingo, or whatever they wanted to do. Once a lady and her sister were pushing chairs down the hallway and I asked “what are you doing?” They told me they were taking a train ride to see their father for his birthday. It made me feel sad because I had to explain to them that they were going the wrong way, so I helped them back to their room. Once there, I explained to them that they lived here at the nursing home and were not going anywhere. It was at that moment, I wanted to really be in the nursing field to be able to make a positive impression on someone else’s life.…
I started working at fifteen years old. I have had a few jobs over the past 11 years, but my current place of employment is the worst one I have ever had. I worked in a welding shop for 7 years. I was the shop manager, which was the highest position that you could achieve there. It was time to get a new job, after there was not any more room to grow in my current one. I then got a job working in the plants for Apache Industrial. We get to do a lot of different things which is why I wanted this job. I have had some issues with other jobs in the past, but my this job is the worst one I have ever had.…
This job was physically and mentally demanding of my energy. I worked anywhere from ten to thirteen hour days; my stress level sky rocketed, and my school work started to suffer, eventually I dropped out of school because I was miserable at this job; the stress was so…
