I'm sure lots of us have done many different jobs before getting to our present one - or maybe you're still trying to climb the ladder in order to get to where you want to be.
But what was your very first job, and what did you think about it?
Mine was delivering newspapers, and I enjoyed it. It allowed me to do plenty of exercise, and I got paid - which was great because I was only 13 when I started delivering them.
What was your first job?

------------------
My first job was to work on a farm. When I was a teenager I worked every holiday at this farm. Mainly it involved working in the fields. I picked poppies or I had to weed fields of beet. I also fed the animals. In this way I learnt to respect money.
!Note - to weed is a verb. Yes, we really do weed weeds. :smile:
A very hot day in the summer, an old woman in a house caught me being soaked up with sweat on the bicycle, and called me in the house and gave me a cup of cold green tea. I remember how exhilarating it was, and I was very happy.
We often had to dust the sculptures, that was really a challenge for me, because I was so clumpsy at the age of 15/16. Iˋd done this kind of job during summer vacation.
I did my first job when I was no fourteen years old, I couldn't follow in de school and in this time you had to going to work of your parents!
If I was a little girl I’m went to a bakery and the wife of the baker was a sweet lady, who always promised, later you come to work for me!
If I bought the bread she gave me always something , a little cake, a candy etc
And yes I could work there, but meanwhile it wasn’t more the sweet lady, It was the daughter-in-law and she wasn’t so friendly!
I loved the work and the people, but that woman....
The baker he was always friendly!
I worked there just a year if my mother searched other work for me, In the men's clothing as seamstress.
it was interesting, although it was a bit difficult against my experience
Within this period of time, I learned a lot, especially in dealing with all kinds of people.
Was English the language you used while working as a staff at the international hotel?
Don't worry ,he will not let you read other novel or something. @Paulette He think that only course book is sufficient to increase my knowledge. So I have downloaded books from kindle.but I couldn't get time to read any one of them now.In these days the costumer are in large number as the new session started in school. Everyone came to buy new books and copies. It's too hectic now. I only help my father in this hectic season, every year for a month or so.
It's never easy or tough if you enjoy and have responsibility towards your job. Even a boss have responsibility to do the work in deadline. Isn't it? Good post brings great responsibility.
When I used to sit in the bookshop counter, I was alway afraid that I was returning more money then I should. After several practice now that fear get faded.Its not easy to instruct if you yourself don't know much about situation. Bosses should have good experience then subordinate. Isn't? @Deucalion

That's right, @mohit_singh , being a boss implies a lot of responsibility. After you gain experience in the position of a higher-up, you learn how to surround yourself with resourceful and trustworthy subordinates able to meet deadlines. Also you learn how to delegate your responsibility to them, so as they take the responsibility for any failures. Being boss is a whole art.
