Angie Cakes Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I keep clicking on the new content button, but there's never any new interesting topics I guess that means it's time for me to make a new onelets reach into my grab bag of generic questions...what kind of jobs do you guys have?me being the highly-reliant-on-my-parents-16-year-old that I am, have never had a real job before. I've done a bit of babysitting though no spell check because I'm too lazy~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgoroth Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I've had a few (and some of them really sucked), but currently I'm just an ordinary college student. <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilia Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I'm a cashier...but soon, I'll be giving up that life of taking the guff from everypony that gives it, using the phrase 'kill them with kindness' without mercy and taking up the role of navigator for a trucker then becoming one myself.

Xiee Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I'm in tech support, working for one of the world's "leading IT companies". Usually customers will want their issues resolved immediately on the PC, even if it's their fault. (I downloaded something and the next thing I knew, I've got pop-ups everywhere, I don't care if I derped it, you must fix it or I'll never buy another [insert company name here] product again!)I'm usually overworked since I handle a team under me. I also have to deal with overbearing bosses and higher ups. I always have overtime work and stuff. It sounds miserable I know but the only thing keeping me going is the feeling of being able to help someone resolve an issue and that they were really grateful for it.

MyLittlePonyTales Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I work at an entertainment store called Hastings. We sell books and CDS, and rent and sell movies and video games. We also sell some t-shirts and action figures, board games, puzzles... we just sell a lot of miscellaneous stuff. I work at the register and in the books section on different days.

Chonico Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I work at a video game store as a shift manager. I was recently promoted so I'm still learning the ropes. However, I rather enjoy it and most days I only mildly feel the urge to smack a customer for questions that make me wonder if their messing with me or just really really, well, dumb. My favorite question? Well...Customer - Hey, I'm looking for this DS game...Me - Okay, what's it called?Customer - I don't know...Me - *stare*Customer - But it comes with a lot of games...Me - Oh, you mean like the Namco Museum or Arcade games?Customer - No no, it has a bunch of games like Mario, Pokemon and s**t.Me - Oh, I know which ones, yeah, no... Those are illegal to sell in the US.Customer - Do you sell them though?Me - *sigh* No, they're illegal...Customer - Well, do you know where I can find one?Me - No. They. Are. I-LLE-GAL.Customer - Come on, don't be like that. You MUST know.Me - *facehoof* Seriously, I don't know. Again, they are illegal to sell in the US. I have no clue, you are just going to have to go it alone.Customer - Fine f**k*r, you just don't want to tell me cause you're a p*ss*!Me - *sigh and stare* Can I help you with anything else?Customer - Yeah! F**K OFF! *walks away*Me - Have a great day sir!Customer - *middle finger*Yup! Granted not all conversations are word for word like this, but most questions related to this follow a similar pattern. Still, I enjoy my job and you know why? Benefit of knowledge! Like, did you ponies know that the Batman Arkham City game has a collectors edition? Yes? Well, do you ponies know what it looks like or for that matter held it in your own hoofs and gawked at it with a longing gaze?

Brony-Vas-Normandy Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 The economy is restraining my employment attempts. I live in a place with fourteen percent unemployment. I sold my soul to McDonald's and Walmart. Both of them rejected me.Right now, I don't think it's possible for me to land a job, being that I've never had one. There's always someone out there with this so-called "experience" that people apparently want, when people that held jobs five months ago are dying to flip hamburgers and help grandma tell the difference between toner cartridges for minimum wage.It'll probably be a few months or years, (preferably the former) before I can land a job. Until then, I'll just enjoy not having to work, because once I go into the working world, I won't be leaving for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancre Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I work as a pastry cook in an artisanal little shop in Paris (I have Pinkies' and the Cakes' job). I do a lot of individual little cakes and baked goods but no big cakes (which anoys me, I want to learn to do this). I'm trying to find a job somewhere else in order to learn different things and to have my own house and stuff. I've also worked a few student jobs, I've watched over kids in a school, I've been an office monkey ( "administrative assistant" where I basically answered the phone and did whatever my superior didn't wanted to do (sorting mail, sending stuff, classifying things) ) and both of them paid well for student jobs. I've also worked in a museum, where I made sure nobody did anything stupid (basically, I did nothing and ensured everybody did nothing as well).

featherquill Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Mostly I'm a student, but I don't get money from that, so I'm also a cashier at McDonald's.I'm getting into freelance writing, which is nice because I don't really have to work under anyone, but the work I get is very little. Hopefully after I graduate, I'll get more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Well, I WAS PC support and IT purchaser for a chain of nursing homes. Then, they started selling off the nursing homes and they downsized the IT staff. Right now, I'm basically doing data entry at a large bank in their loan support department. In the past, I've worked several retail jobs, worked at two different pizza places behind the counter,worked two summers at a theme park, worked in a couple of warehouse jobs, in a mail room, and also spent 6 1/2 years in the US Navy. On an odd note, four of the stores I've worked at and one company have subsequently gone out-of-business after I worked there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armony Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I recently found one of those elusive job things, working grill at McDonalds. In totally unrelated news, fast food has reached a whole new level of sickening for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad they want gaming experience for FPS which I don't play at all.Well, no, its not about playing games on the job... in fact i doubt they EVER get to actually PLAY games on the clock... but its more about it being something i'm knowledgeable about, and something i'm interested in talking about... Chicken is delicious, but you can't make a conversation piece out of it, and theres not really much discussion about which chicken would be best to get...but at Gamestop or something, i know about games, i can talk about games, i can help people find games, etc... it's something i know and enjoy, and just talking about and being able to be around what i enjoy that would be fun... playing games all day would be fun for a while, but thats not really what i want.
