I got my first job at 15 just to get out of the house honestly. It took two interviews and I worked in foodservice.

I washed dishes and did waitressing for a very small theme park in my area. I was 15 and it was cash in hand, the amount dependent on how much they'd made that day. I also on occasion did the kid birthday parties when they booked them at the park. I got to work with my best friend too. At the time I was stressed but now I look back, they were pretty happy days.

my first adult "real world" "earn my living" job? There was an HR interview, a written test, and an interview with my boss-to-be.

First job was tarot reader then FedEx parcel loader. Tarot reader fell in my lap. FedEx gig took two interviews. That was the first time I ever experienced ableism/sexism when applying for a job.

{@sledgehammer] when i left school we have a shipyard that employed school leavers . i got in there and was probably one of the worst times for me . i only lasted six weeks . rather a long story

My first job was working in the kitchen of an old folks home.
Poor training caused a lack of me staying there for very long, I walked out.

First.

At 24 was a serious long term one.

No, my friends were envious that I was enjoying the leisure of home life. So, they got me kicked out.

Left home at 17 and got the first job I interviewed for.

Just one, and got hired that day. I was 16 and eager to work.
