Your First Job

Paper round from about the age of 13, then worked at the bakers oven, which now trades under the name of Greggs, which helped fund my way through college.
 
Before 16 - Ice cream van assistant, paperboy, delivering bread assistant, rent boy

After 16 - In the Navy on the HMS Tiger but I only lasted a month and became a Michelin Apprentice instead.
 
OP appears to be very nosey.

As to the question:

1st Job was when I was at school. Saturdays in BeWise, stuck in the stock room attaching price tags to clothes with the gun.

1st real job, Lab Technician at Diamond Refractories.
 
I worked for my cousins at their paper supplies company.
Mainly consisted of counting out sheets of different types of paper to go into packs that the customers had ordered.
I soon realised the benefits of counting in batches of 20 and then starting a new pile as its somewhat frustrating when you loose count towards a 100 sheets!
I'd never felt richer than when I got my first brown envelope with about £15 in it, happy days :)
 
2 paper rounds at age of 13. Kept them both up until I left school at 16. One was a morning round 6 days a week but only took half an hour to do if that. The other one was the weekly free newspaper which I delivered on either a Wed or Thurs night after school.

First proper job was Kwiksave at 16 :D
 
Serving up fries at KFC.

Also my current job.

Thought you was a BMS?


As for me, first job was a paper boy at the tender age of 14. Miserable job where I had to do 2 hours per day, 6 days per week on a 4 mile route on my bike to deliver 41 papers. Was paid the princely sum of £6.36 per WEEK for that. It didn't build character or any of that nonsense either, just left me miserable until I stopped it after 18 months. The only bonus to the whole thing was that I bought the weekly 2000AD comic from the shop I worked for every saturday :D

First job at 16 though was stacking shelves and doing warehouse duties at comet. I went for an interview at brantano which is on the same retail park where I use to live and they offered me £2.20 per hour so I walked out and went into comet where I was interviewed on the same day and secured that job for £4.80 per hour instead :D
