Everyone has their first memory when they have to enter the adult world, mine just happened to be my junior year of high school. This year was just a little glimpse of what was going to be the rest of my life. Getting my first job was bitter sweet. I had to learn how to manage my time between school, sports, and now a job. After my first week of school I had to start my new 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.

It was time for my first paycheck when my boss called me and asked, “We don’t have your information for banking could you text it to me.” So later that day I had to go open a checking’s account at a bank and while I was there I opened a credit card too. The next day my boss handed me my paycheck, I later opened it to see how little I made. This was so disappointing for me I lost almost half of my paycheck in taxes! For the next few days I couldn’t get over how this was possible. Eventually, all of my bills stared coming in the mail, it seemed like I couldn’t keep
As teenager, many people say their adolescence is one of the most important phases in anyone’s life. As a teenager, you get to experience many great events like going to high school football games, dating your first boyfriend or girlfriend, getting your driver license, and graduating from high school. As I look back, I believe that getting my first job was the most important event in my adolescence. I was very enthusiastic about getting my first job. I enjoyed that fact that I will be able to earn my own money and not having to ask my mother for any earn. Surprising, there was only one obstacle that was holding me back and that was the fact that I was a
A few weeks later I came home to another surprise; there was a realtor showing a couple around our house. My mom and sister took me to my sister's room and told me that it was decided that they were going to sell the house. I cried in my mom's arms as she tried to reassure me that it was going to be okay. She had been thinking of selling the house for a while because it was getting to be to much for her to take care of alone. Within a month the house was sold, my sister and I moved into my father's house, and my mom moved in with a friend. I was now living permanently in a house that had never felt like home and lost all of my securities. I went from living with my mom full time and seeing my dad occasionally to the complete opposite. The only time I now saw my mother was a couple times a week for dinner and sometimes on the weekends. The schedule that I had been raised on had
Well, the first day came and I could barely sleep the night before. I put on my new outfit, grabbed my new bookbag and sprinted out the door; but not before my mom took a million pictures of me. The bus ride was tense for me. I sat there and went over my schedule to keep my mind from wandering and thinking about the what
My second job was a cashier at a local drug store. My daily duties included organizing and stocking shelves, providing excellent customer service, and checking out customers. The environment was incredibly nonchalant and the stress level was extremely low. Although many of my peers enjoy effortless employment, the lack of duties disturbed me. I worked the last shift almost every weekend night and was plagued with boredom. There were numerous occasions when I would pick a magazine off the shelf and read it because of the shortage of customer traffic. The job became a waste of time and ability.
My Resume doesn’t stray from the classic style of resumes to much at least not the first two portions of the resume. Once we get to the bottom of my resume I split my skills into two columns so I could use as much space as possible to define me as a hard working with plenty of experience in design, writing, and communication specifically.
Leaving school meant that I had to go look for a job to support myself. Finding a job was easy than most people made it sounded to be as I acquired a job in less than three days at a temp agency. Never in my life have I ever had a real job this was my first job, but I did have experience working with my dad on fixing houses. The job was an assembly company where they build lawnmowers; the management that I was placed under was a nightmare, laziest boss in the world. Shortly after gaining experience I was promoted to a lead operator, a small manager, this was the first time that I was over twenty people who were all older than me. The company was quite terrifying as people were getting laid off and production was slow. At one point there were
I heard job come out my mom's mouth i wanted to scream to the top of my lungs i couldn't speak i was so terrified so i decided that i would go to bed early so they would stop talking about but that didn't all i was dreaming about was work i felt like i was losing my mind and then i thought to myself it’s time to grow up and time to make your own decisions i'm going off to college in 2 years and it’s coming fast so It was even though i still felt horrible i didn't know what was happening . i was thinking today is the day i felt like the world was ending i no longer getting money from my parents and ask them to buy me things i had to make my own living for myself i felt like i was growing up too fast i felt like i wasn't ready and i'm pretty sure my family wasn't either
There are some internships that I've participated on that have helped me discover my own
Furthermore, I start the first memo among three that cover the introduction and an instruction how to view the video. However, I help the team by sending this first memo with the video script that is created by Elaine to Dr. Meredith Singleton. For the conducting process of the usability test, our goal is to find at least ten people to this test. I have asked many of my friends to help me out. Unfortunately, I can get only two people while one is my friend, Matt Brehm, and the other one is my brother, Tong Ngann. This might be because of the final week of the semester that everyone has a lot of work to be done. For the usability testing report, I join Michael and Elaine to complete this work. I work on the methodology section and participants
When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to get a job. Sure, it would be a good way to make friends and learn how to prepare myself for the real world, but for me, it was mostly about making my own money. Having to ask my parents for cash every time I needed some annoyed me, mostly because they’d always say no. Every time they did, I would always whine and complain about how different things would be when I had money of my own, how I would never ask them for anything, and so on. This wasn’t entirely true, but at the time it seemed like a smart thing to say. I must’ve applied to dozens of jobs, and when I finally got the email telling
As I was about to transfer $150 from my first paycheck to my mom’s account, I began to think about what I have been through the past five months. Ever since I came to America, I had been wanting to reduce my guilt of using my family’s saving. I posted job requests and applied to different stores but only received junk mails; I went to McDonald’s ask for seeing the manager several times, when I finally saw her, she promised to call me back but I had never heard from her. However, the more jobs I tried to apply to, the more I realized I am responsible of making decision myself and the more skill I developed on writing a resume. One day, I received an email from a local Taiwanese restaurant saying that they would be glad to interview me. Surprisingly,
I remember my first day of summer school at St. Paul like it was yesterday. It was warm day in July and I was telling my dad how nervous I was going to high school for the first time. He was telling me ill be fine and to not stress so much. I came in a little timid but as the day progressed, i met people and talked to teachers and soon I became confident in my new surroundings. This incident can be applied to my whole high school experience.
Life has pushed her put of her comfort zone. After graduating high school, she moved to another state completely alone. There was a time to become self-reliance, to become independent. This is an example of recentering( Professor T. Rondinone, personal communication, April, 2017). Grace found full time job at the post office as a dispatcher. “For the first time I felt wanted. People started acknowledging me. I realized that I can be good at something.” However, the job was making her feel good about herself, she still wanted something more. She was craving for close intimate relation with that special man, who can love her and in return she can love him. She had such a strong need for meaningful, profound bounding with that romantic partner,
My first real job was working for my dad on the farm. I started when I was 12, and I wasn’t getting a salary but he said he would help for my college if I helped him during the summers. I would work almost every day of the week with my dad on the farm doing everything that he told me to do. The work was very hard and I couldn’t do all of it on my own so I would get frustrated a lot. I could have just quit but the thing is I want to take over the farm when I grow old, so my motivation was to learn from everything that I had to do. Not getting paid was a little frustrating to, epically when my uncle had a stroke and my dad and I had to keep his farming running as well. We were doing double the work that we were doing before, and we were not getting
I remember when I started my first corporate job. Now I’ve been thru countless jobs before, but this one was a huge blessing. The job was Pratt & Whitney and they manufactured airplane parts for the military and other air crafting companies. Cool right? Try to imagine a young teenager walking in this huge corporation on his first day full of grown men and women who are in their late 20’s and above. The feeling was very overwhelming. As a temp my job was to polish air plane parts. Now when I say polish I don’t mean polish, as in wipe the floor with a towel till it sparkles in the light. I mean you hold a tool-gun with a sandpaper wheel and you polish a spinning part. It was very neurotic for my first experience on the job. Though as a temp this is what you’ve signed on to do. As unbarring as it seemed, I had to cope with it and try to master this new chapter in my life.
