The Job Thread

Pretty simple thread, what do you do for a crust?

I am currently employed at a club under 3 positions.
1.) Doorman - Checking IDs, processing membership applications, paging people, etc.
2.) Bartender - Tap monkey
3.) GPU - General Purpose Useful AKA Glassy AKA Picking up glasses, whipping down ashtrays

Oh well, it's pretty good pay. Long as hell hours though. I'm lucky to get 2 days off a week now.



So there you go, have at it.

    Currently unemployed. Well, technically unemployed. I'm still working on a few web design contracts, but i should really think about getting another part-time job.

    The reason for this is i left my full time job up in the city so i could go to university. Neeeeed.... moneyyyyyyy....

    I help co-ordinate the graduate programme for the environmental/regeneration charity Groundwork. In a nutshell it's a way for graduates who are finding a lack of real experience an obstacle to get a bit of practical experience under their belt by volunteering for a six-month placement, to get a helping hand into a good job at the end of it.

    Also, a lot of them are cute. ^^

    Night-host.

    Work for my school from 2-6 AM on any given day, allowing students who forget their keys access to the dorms (and keeping the scary people out), and checking for theft in the parking lots. Great hours, Great wages. Too bad school still starts bright'n'early.

    I only work during the holidays, part-time.

    On the last two weaks of the holidays, I work at my little sister's school, helping out with anything realy. The principal is a friend of my mom. The other times I work for my dad, setting up data bases, typing up stuff, etc.

    Me and my friends are trying to go and work at Disney World during summer vacation.

    I'm a Kitchen Porter in a large(ish) hotel. We do all the essential stuff with the exception of the food making (that's what Chefs are for of course <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->). I clean the floors, machinery and dishes. The job has advantages and disadvantages.

    Advantages: It's easy. It's in walking distance. I get free use of the gym, golf course and I get bed and breakfast for ?5 (four star hotel). Lots of good people there. If I decide to walk in to the kitchen some day they give me a free meal <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Disadvantages: It's very hot, I hate the heat. It's a dirty job sometimes. The smell of some food is awful. Chemicals are itchy/burning if you decide to touch a surface you forgot you spilt/used chemical on and not cleaned up yet.

    Good luck Parasite. If you feel like me about a job in the 'biz, I won't have to tell you to freakin forget about these boards and <b>get to work!</b> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Seriously, I sincerely hope you'll succeed.

    I'm currently doing my social service (for all ye slackers in countries without of drafts, that's what you're doing when you don't want to be trained to shoot people.). I'm working as a general helper in a psychatric clinic, which invloves lots of smiling, patient listening, and the handling of astonishing amounts of dirty laundry, both of the metaphorical and the literal kind.
