How Many Jobs Have You Had?

Sorry to be a PW, but I this was a question on a poll on another board, and I feel slightly freakish about the number of jobs that I have had. BUT I have had long stretches where I worked 3 jobs at a time, and I have been working for 15 years. Pleast put my mind at ease - how many jobs have YOU had??

  1. Pharmacy (age 15-17)
  2. Boston Market/Skating Rink Attendant (age 17)
  3. Cinema Cafe (age 17-18)
  4. Gap (age 18)
  5. Bank Teller (age 18-19)
  6. Victoria's Secret/Event Attendant/Mary Kay (age 19)
  7. Security Guard (age 19-22)
  8. Waitress & Bartender (age 20-22)
  9. Youth Worker/Waitress (age 22)
  10. Restaurant manager (age 23-24)
  11. Contractor (age 22-24)
  12. Restaurant Manager - take 2 (age 24)
  13. Waitress - take 2 (age 24)
  14. Office Coordinator (age 24-26)
  15. Coffee Shop Manager (age 25-26)
  16. Coffee Shop Supervisor (age 26-29)

  18. Legislative fellowship (age 29)
  19. Campaign Organizer (age 29)
  20. Recount Organizer (age 29)
  21. Lia Sophia advisor (age 29)

** I feel like I am forgetting some. Seriously, my brain hurts thinking about this. FWIW, I have NEVER been fired from a job before, and there was only ONE that I left on less than great terms because there were legal issues that I brought to their attention, and they weren't happy. Whatever, I know I did the right thing, and their response was just what I needed to make my decision to QUIT!

Lots of love and continual explosions of babydust to my BG Besties! XOXOXOXO

Re: How Many Jobs Have You Had?

  • I answered your other post but I'll give a little more detail in this one.

    1. Church bookstore (age 18-19)

    2. Receptionist /Accounts Receivable (age 19-22)

    3. Accounts Receivable/Administrative Assistant (age 22-31)

    4. Old Navy (age 23-24)

    If you count the separate positions within the same company, I've had 6 jobs.  I was laid off once but was called back a month later.  I have never been fired.

  • Hmmmm....this will require some thought....

    1.) Cashier at Target (16-17)

    2.) Waitress/ Short order grill cook at local pizza place (17-18)

    3.) Head Lifeguard/Swim Instructor/ Middle School Swim coach...this was all at one time at the same place so I am counting it as one job.

    4.) Assistant to the Admin. Assistant during a summer in college for my dad's business

    5.) Swim Instructor/Lifeguard at the college I attended, this was during the school year and a few summers

    6.) Student Assistant Swim coach at that same college (3 seasons)

    7.) Waitress at a Steakhouse (I really didn't like when they started making us line dance and sing, once that started I didn't last long)

    8.) Admissions Representative for a private college

    9.) General Manager for a Women's health club

    10.) Waitress at Green Mill

    11.) CNA (This one and number 10 were at the same time when we moved and I just needed a job to bring in money)

    12.) My current position which is my dream job... Aquatics Coordinator, as you can tell I love the water based off of all my other experiences.  

  • hmmmm, interesting question!

    1.  Nursery worker (at church): 14-18

    2.  Walgreens: 16 (I lasted a couple months - yuck)

    3.  Child care (aid, assistant teacher, teacher, assistant director): 16-23

    5.  Accounting intern:  21

    Really not that many in the grand scheme I suppose.  (and yes, there was a period of time when I was going to college, working FT as assistant director at a daycare AND working part-time as a nanny - that was an exhausting year!)

    Also, we have a family business and I left-off my time spent helping there.

  • 1. Linder's Greenhouse (15-16)

    2. Bachman's (16-18)
