College Admissions Essay: The First Day Of A Job

My first job is at a trucking company located in Derry. Adding a job to my schedule now was not too stressful because it was only the first week of my junior year. Also by now in high school everything is predictable the first few days of instruction. We start the first few days of instruction going over the course material and expectations. Thus, letting me have more free time in the afternoon the first week. I started my first shift on a Monday, it was so hot outside. I can remember seeing the heat rise off of the truck hoods. I restored headlights and washed a couple of the box trucks there for the day. I was surprised how easy this was, and remember going home and telling my parents “This is the easiest job ever”. I was beginning to get a taste of what it is like to have a job.

One of the first jobs I ever got when I was younger was being a cashier at a Save- a Lot grocery store. I was 15 years old and I absolutely loved that job.

After working at McDonalds for three weeks, I began to make new friends and was glad that I didn’t decide to quit my job. I enjoyed that I could earn my own money and didn’t have to ask my mother for money anymore. Work had been great after the first customer incident happened. I had not received any customer complaints and my manager said that I might employee of the

I’m applying to UA Early College because I want to be able to step into college ahead of the game. I have been an overachiever since I was little and take each chance I get handed to me. This program additionally prepares me for courses I will take when in college. It gives a more profound understanding of how classes will be and the paces they will go at.

Although my first day in the office was uneventful I was looking forward to going back, because I was excited to see what other types of tasks Ms. Green has to carry out. My first day was my only day in the office though, after a while Ms. Green stopped responding to my emails.

Ever since 8th grade, I have worked hard a lot more when I play volleyball. Right when the varsity coaches asked me to join their practice, I knew that I had to work hard and that it will pay off. Now, at every practice, I would play my heart out even if I was playing with a fractured finger or a rolled ankle.

I was the first female clerk that worked full-time. It wasn't very good there. Men mistreated me. They spit on me!

Experience: The first day is bound to be nerve wrecking, but I dealt with my nerves effortlessly and quickly. Even though the tasks I did were simple, I had fun filling out the papers and doing my job. Every now and then, one needs to step out of their comfort zone and do things other than routine tasks (work and homework), it is imperative to get fresh air.

Everybody remembers his or her first job most likely not every detail, but definitely the experiences one learned. My first job had its ups and downs similar to a roller coaster. Being a Dunkin Donuts employee is a satisfying feeling because daily you’re surrounded by not only coffee but delicious donuts. My experience as a Dunkin Donuts employee taught me patience and the importance of being a hard worker.

This summer, I worked at a television production company in the development department. I applied to the internship very last minute and was hired just a couple of days after applying. Before going into my first day of work, I memorized the company’s website, trying to gather as much information as I could from it. I was excited to learn that the development department was female lead and, according to the website, composed of mostly women. In fact, the majority of the leadership positions at the company were occupied by women. Both my family and I were happy and pleasantly surprised that I would be getting the opportunity to work in such a rare entertainment environment where it seemed that appeared be equally men and women.

The first morning I walk into my job I actually went to the wrong floor but I got there eventually. I felt very nervous, as any other freshmen intern would feel. Everyone at accounting said I was cute and tiny, which I thought was good. They didn’t have me work on anything major as it was my first day so I don’t think they want to overwhelm me with work on my first day. I could instantly tell that I would like it here, everyone was so nice and it was like they were family and I wanted to be a part of that family. Now that I’m at the end of my first year I can proudly say that I have fulfilled my goal of getting to know many of my co-workers and forming a bond with most of them. I’ve learned many things from my co-workers. They’ve given me advice about school and how I should carry myself through the future. For that, I can’t thank them enough on how much of an impact they have made in my high school experience.

So, on my first day there I imagined that I was going to read to kids, do fun crafts, and have a grand ole time. But, what really happened was that I got stuck in the back organizing books, and doing all of the boring stuff that no one wanted to do. It was, kinda fun at first but then it just became

I could regale you with some of the funniest stories from my retail days. Not just about customer interactions. Oh no, I am talking about employees. Now, before I go into this further let me just set this up for you. At the age of 17, I was promoted to an assistant manager position. In the retail business, they refer to it as key-holding. For hopefully obvious reasons. So, I had to quickly adapt to being in a leadership role that put me in charge of employees who were often old enough to be my parent or grandparent.

My reflection about work so far is mostly positive. I left McDonalds and just started a new job at Zaxby’s. This week they had a big wrestling tournament and buses stopped by Zaxby’s on their way back home. I was so scared and nervous. I was scared only because it was also a new member other than me who had just started. My manger just told me to give out orders and told the other trainee to take orders. I did exactly what I was told and when the rush was over he could not have been more excited. The worst experience I have had at Zaxby’s was when the grill crew had to cook chicken because they had ran out. They was not paying any attention to the chicken count and we had to pull a car up and she came in the restaurant mad. I just talked to

It wasn’t until the end of the day that Susan pulled me aside and gave me some good advice. In her words, “People in the store are going to drive you mad. They are the pickiest, finickiest folks I’ve ever seen. But if you keep a smile on your face, keep calm and do a good job, you’ll survive the day, and we’ll get along just fine.” Even though it wasn’t exactly the greatest advice ever, it was what helped me keep my sanity the whole season I was there. I made some good friends, good money and I realized that working isn’t as easy as it seems. But all in all, it was a good job, and a good
