My 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.

I realized after being able to handle an angry customer positively, I have matured working at Wendy’s. To be able to not step out of character when someone you don’t know is yelling at you because of tomatoes is huge. Having a job helped me practice professional skills. I also had to learn to save money because the same weekend I got my check I spent half of it. My first job made me feel like a complete adult, and although it was stressful, maturing is a step in life I knew I was going to face soon

I graduated high school back in 1994. I was engaged to be married in just two years, and even though I joined the Pennsylvania Air National Guard right after graduation it was only one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year. So I needed a full-time job. A friend of the family knew a guy who was opening a second store, and was going to need a store manager. I took the job and got started. What I didn’t know was the guy I was just hired to work for was a little confused as to what he wanted. I hung onto the job for a little over a year hoping it would turn around but, no dice.

When I came to US in 2009, the job market was in the edge of collapse. It was hard to find a job. The economy was not doing well, most people were getting laid off. Moreover, I was not expecting to find a job, because I did not have a work experience and language skill for employers to hire me. I did not have the expectations or assumption that I will find a job, however, one afternoon the agency who were helping me finding a job called me and told me that they found me a job. I had no idea what I should in the first day of work so I try to look helpful as much as I can. The next day I get to know what the job is all about, and they make me operate a molding machine that makes gasket for automobile.

The streets were very crowded, and there were lots of other people struggling to earn money. Eventually, I got a job, and that was to dig in the subway. I did not make a huge deal out of it because I needed money desperately. I was actually quite excited for my job as it would become a part of my daily routine. However, the more days that went by, the more I realized that there was nothing to be excited about. The job was incredibly dangerous and risky. Not only was there a great risk of disease as I was breathing in chemicals and ash, but there was also a huge risk of getting crushed, hit by the subway, and dynamite accidents. Every day, I walked out of the mine with my face covered with dust, and a stench that I would never forget. Although I worked hard everyday and did my work even though there were various risks, I only got paid one dollar a day for all of my hard

It was mid-afternoon, mid-week, during the middle of my shift when I realized the great epiphanic truth that explained my growing lackadaisical attitude towards being a bank teller. All it took was Delray Fire Rescue having a busy day and myself a slow one, to understand something so monumental and life-changing; I hated being a bank teller. I hated coercing people into buying something they didn’t need. I hated morning huddles and one on ones with management for sales strategies. I hated feeling soulless and disgusted at the end of the day. I hated pretending to care about things that were meaningless. I hated the person I turned into. I realized this isn’t me. This isn’t where I belong. I need to be better than this. I should be out there. I should be out helping people, doing something that will make a difference in people’s lives. I should be the change I want to see in the world; not in here worrying about how I’m going to make my sales numbers for this quarter.

Since I am the newbies in the store, employees who have worked there for a pretty long time seem to push their jobs to newbies like me. I was working in the fitting room, it was pretty easy to do, it is only crowded when there are lots of customers wanted to try the clothes on. Everybody seems to avoid the folding of all the basic clothes like tank top, legging because this is the messiest area and unorganized at the end of the day. They passed it to me and tell me to fold and clean it. In this case, I got the monkey that I have not expected. I have no choice to say no because I am new and I have to make that first impression to everyone. Being a newbies is a disadvantage because people are taking their advantages on me. Only time can make this a better solution. After that, I can have the right to choose what position I want to do rather than being assigned to a position that I do not find interest

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.

As most high school students take on the job market, I myself have a part-time job at my local Giant Foods Store. I contribute to various tasks there such as being a cashier, putting miscellaneous items away, and even controlling our easy-scan. As the nightmare haunts the store, it can be difficult to identify, however, it can be easily discerned at easy-scan. There I

Well, I had heard that Blairs was hiring, I jumped on the train to get an application. I never got called in for an interview and I had a feeling that my previous job had something to do with it. I went and got another job application, but this time I didn’t put where I worked. They called me the next day, I was honestly so shocked when I got the phone call. I went in for the interview and I had started working the next day. Till this day I still have my job and I’m very happy with what I do. You always run into very rude customers, but you always have to stay patient. I remember the day that I started, I was so nervous that I would mess up. A few months came along, and well, I ran into that difficult customer. This one man asked me if I could get something for him and of course I said yes. He was asking me to get, I think a candle from the top shelf of aisle number four. Well the front called me to go and bag, while I was heading up to the front, he yelled at me requesting that I stay and help. I didn’t want to anger the man or one of the cashiers, so I called one of the managers to help the man. As I was finishing up, he came up to me and was yelling at me in front of all these customers, I was turning red. I was being as patient as I could and then a manager asked what was wrong. The man said that I just walked off and didn’t help him. I helped the man and then I bagged his groceries, I carried out for him and I even apologized for my actions, that I didn’t

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

"Winning is important to me, but what brings me real joy is the experience of being fully engaged in whatever I'm doing." says Phil Jackson, a former American professional basketball player. People always whine about how their first job experience was terrible and there’s only one reason which is not getting enough amount of money for their work. I think people need to think that job is not always about money as I discovered from my first job.

The night before my first day as a teacher I was scared. It was something totally different for me; it was something I had never done before. Yes, I have made some microteachings at the university, but that was not the same as been in an actual classroom with kids observing you and waiting for you to teach them something. In my head, there were questions such as What am I going to do? What should I tell to the kids? Is this how it is supposed to be done?

The scent of fresh waffles, sound of radio pop music, light from the open sign. Just another long day at work. Everything is just like the usual. Restock utensils, greet customers, take orders, collect payments, and clean up. At seventeen, wanting to save up for my post-secondary tuition, I decided to work a part time job alongside school. I thought that not only does it give me money, it can also give me valuable work experience. Working at a part time job sounds like a perfect opportunity for me. However, after this experience, my perspective of working in the service industry completely changed.

Today was the first day of internship. I attended a new hire training secession about 8 hours and heard about the history of Novogradac & Company LLP, met the partners of the firm, completed all new hire paperwork and turned in to HR. In addition, I learned about ProSystem Engagement which company has been using for audit and tax preparation software. At the end of the day, all intern received a tour of office and met their own team members.
