I have questions about your job!

I'm thinking about changing jobs soon but I've never had any luck with being able to find another one I could like, and at the same time find a job I felt secure enough that I won't go broke. So I got some questions for you.


1. Where do you work, and what are your responsibilities?

-I work at a Super Market where I work as a cashier. A cashier just scans items and handles the payment.

2. How did you find this job? (Friend, Newspaper, website, Walk-In,...)

-Super Markets are always hiring so I just filled out an application and managed to get the job.

3. Remember how your interview went, and the answers you gave?
Why should I hire you?
Why did you leave your last job?
I'll pay you this amount, is that ok?
etc?

It's been many years so I don't remember how the interview went. What I do know is that my mother talked to them and convinced them to hire me.(kind of sad)

4. Why did you take this job? (money, your dream job,etc)

-After I graduated, I could not find work. Tried college but had no direction. After a year with no work, finally a place that will hire me.

5. What skills are required for your job, including schooling.

-Basic math, friendly personality, patience. Not sure if they hire dropouts or not.


6. Do you like your job?

-Nope!

I work as a graphics artist for an advertising company, as well as a consultant in the PR department.

2. How did you find this job? (Friend, Newspaper, website, Walk-In,...)

Standard online job-searching.

Yeah, I do. I got asked to, first off, present my portfolio, which I did and they were super-impressed. They asked me if I had previous experience in the field, to which I said not professionally, all my artistic skill is basically self-taught, which actually impressed them more and made them appreciate my portfolio even more. They gave me different scenarios in an office, asked how I'd respond to them, asked for examples of those actions from previous jobs. We spoke about salary, and I asked for something higher based on my PR qualifications and experience (which is my original field of work). They agreed. I landed the job.

4. Why did you take this job? (money, your dream job,etc)

I wanted to try something different because I've been working in PR for a long time, but a the same time, I didn't want to lose out in PR? lol it seemed like wishful thinking, really, but then I came across a job where it involved public relations AND graphics design. I was stoked.

5. What skills are required for your job, including schooling.

Extensive knowledge with Photoshop, ImageReady, and other digital art programmes. Also, experience with public relations. It was preferable to have qualifications in graphic design, but they were open to see my portfolio because of my PR experience.

6. Do you like your job?

I do! Though it can be frustrating at times, overall I do enjoy it a lot.

I work for the USAF. Maintain/repair the equipment used to test the aircraft systems.

2. How did you find this job? (Friend, Newspaper, website, Walk-In,...)

Recruiter at school, researched it online, pressure from family to carry on the tradition.

3. Remember how your interview went, and the answers you gave?

Have you ever done drugs?
Do you have such and such medical condition?
Have you ever participated in a violent uprising against the US Government?
Bend over and spread 'em.
Endless paperwork.

4. Why did you take this job? (money, your dream job,etc)

I knew my parents couldn't spot me for college since they payed for my brother and sister to go. Also, most of my family has been military. I damn sure didn't take it for the money lol.

5. What skills are required for your job, including schooling.

Knowing the difference between your answer and the right answer. Knowing when to shut up. Not ♥♥♥♥♥ing about smokers, and being able to handle jokes/profanity. Also a high school diploma.

6. Do you like your job?

I like it enough to get along.

Anyone else?
Even if it's a low paying job, don't be afraid to post about it.

Aside from being a college student, I'm a drug store cashier.

Computer Science and engineering is to be my forte and main focus, but IT/Networking is my love child (you can call it a separate pillar).

I hope to be starting an internship with a local telecom's IT department and put those hours of router configuration goodness to the test. I have to hear from a supervisor to see if s/he approves it, so wish me luck.

I don't have a job.
