my first is my current one and I'm an Administrator for this woman who runs a school which teaches adults english
help with booking lessons/appointments/social medias/website updating/advertisements etc so super good but is only 3hrs a week so trying to look for another one aside that too!

Dominos and a furniture store, i got both of them when I was 16 and then got another job at royal mail at when i was 17 so i was running around with three jobs and college. My schedule was something stupid like waking up at half 4, getting to royal mail job at 5, then leaving at half 8 for college, college at 9 till 4, then dominos 5-11 (I'd get Mondays and Thursdays off though), i'd live off like 3 hours a night. Weekends I'd do my furniture job 8-4 then dominos 5:30-12 lmao. I don't miss being at college!

TECHNICALLY my 1st job was being an "assistant" for my sister while she was teaching ballet! It does means that I was the one who opened the windows, turned on the stereo, carried the objects and a lot of things afterwards
it was quite fun though :D

5$ - once a week

Was it you who said you did a lot of volunteering before you got your first paid job? I can't remember if it was you or not? I seem to remember we were talking about jobs before and we spoke about volunteering. If it was you what were the ones you said you did volunteering?

Well when I was younger i used to babysit and i would get like five dollars an hour so technically that counts. But for the past three years I’ve been working in retail which pays minimum wage so i think of that more as my first job because it’s a more consistent job
