Part-time - they call it a 0.5 which means basically half of full time hours. I'm older than you though so it's a 'proper' job, so to speak (i.e. a career job). Anyway, good luck with your new work. I hope you enjoy it and save LOTS of money to spend on something nice.

I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.

Well I'm 17 and I will be 18 this year =) I will work 12pm to 6pm and I think that's a good part time job for me. =) I don't want to be clumsy or worry about something..

Sometimes I don't speak much but I am happy to socialise to other employees. =)

I wish I can reach to $2,000 for my savings...

Congratulations on the job!

When I was your age, I was working full time doing an engineering apprenticeship, which was 40 hours per week plus evening classes to get qualifications. I earned £40 per week, which was a pound an hour! And I still managed to smoke 40 cigarettes a day, run a car and save up for a new bass on that money. Oh, the good old days! I hope you enjoy your money!

Customer service can be hell. But the happy/pleasant customers far outweigh the few crazy ones out there.

I dunno... at the end of the day I always seemed to remember customers who felt the need to talk down to me a lot more than the ones who complimented me. Makes me so thankful that I mostly deal with paperwork now but I guess I never really considered myself a people person

ps. congrats on 1000 posts!

Well for the past 4 years I've held a full-time job at a small online science retailer, for 2 years before that I worked part-time for them.
Before that I also worked full time at the local electricity company, before that I was a casual at the local $2 store. Before that I did a paper run for ~1 year.
Before that I worked casual in two jobs, a school-based traineeship in retail in the school tuckshop/canteen and an after school job at a photocopy shop. So yeah I've held a range of jobs over the years. I love this job the best, best bosses, best coworkers, best atmosphere, horrid customers though lol but hey we can't all have our cake and eat it too!

However - good luck and have fun!

Oh Noes Not Another Blog! - where you can see my awful custom content and horrible attempts at challenges, storytelling and picture taking.
Not much up there right now, this is only the beginning! :D

I use to deliver newspapers before I got hurt (from 2 in the morning till about 6) I know It's pathetic but it's a job until I can get funding for my own business starting a moible pet grooming facility as the area in which I live is mostly rural with only small towns around

I got my first part-time job in November 2010 when I was 15, as a check-out chick at a local supermarket. I got $8 an hour, which increased to a whopping $11 when I came off probation. However, in August 2011 I was promoted to the supermarket's cash office, where my job now consists of counting large sums of money, balancing safes, using payroll/roster management programs, being a receptionist, etc... a very different job to what I first applied for!

Anyway, congrats on your new job, RomerJob, and good luck!

Full time, but I'm my own boss. At seventeen! Well, my dad technically owns the place (it's the basement) but he lets me have free reign to fix computers with a couple buddies for quick cash. He just foots the bills.

That was practically my first job too except I worked for Boots the Chemist in the UK. It's a very large firm. It's the only time I've ever seen a half a million pounds on a table with my own eyes (large store and very popular at Christmas). I was the Cash Office's Saturday girl and I worked for them for a while after I left school too.

I...do what others do. No job, let my parents care about my financial problems.

Don't blame me. 14 years old with no chance of having part-time job, even the informal one (selling things, etc.). Blame my school!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUU!! *F U rage*

Funny you should mention that, I'm the office's Saturday girl too! I start at 6AM every Saturday, to set up the store for the day's trading. To get there on time, I have to wake up at 5AM, which is hard after a long week at school... but the office pay rate makes it worth it. xD
You didn't have to count that half a million pounds, did you? I can only imagine how long that would take!
