    Going to be working almost full-time with my dad's construction company for the summer. Basically, I'm being used as cheap labour to do all the jobs that require absolutely no skill, and I'll be more than glad for the income.
    Not too enthused by the actual work though. It sucks.

    I work in the dogs taking bets. It's good craic but I'm really bad at it. People ask me questions and I just make up some bull**** and hope they don't see through it. So far this system works.

    Where ever i can get booked because its so hard for a bar or a nightclub to book you when your 19 and play very little chart music. Must of my work come from the indie nights around the town i work in and must of the time i dont even get paid for it and if i do its very little. The only way i got booked the 1st time is because i know the bar manager very well

    In the town where i am from the main bar will not even speak to me even for free so i am in look if i get a day or two here or there

    what? lol

    I started a second job last night in a restaurant/ ice-cream place , and was then rang by my boss in the hotel saying he will be giving me more hours... So my two jobs are going to clash for def. Disaster. And all year long there was no work-typical!
    Just say no, if you like the 2nd job :) They can hire someone else. Just explain that they weren't giving you extra hours for the year, and you've had to find a 2nd job. Or drop the 2nd job (but remember that those extra hours are likely just for Summer!)

    I started my new job in a sweets and milkshakes shop last week. It's grand. In a couple of weeks I'll be working full-time in their newly-opened, probably much busier shop in Jervis... that might be tough. Need delicious money though!

    I've actually... er, never had a job! D: I feel quite ashamed of that, given that I'm just about to finish college. I have had quite a few commissions over the years, though, mostly designing posters, flyers, pamphlets and stuff of that sort, so that's something. I've also given a few Science/Physics grinds, but still, I'm pretty sure my CV is currently vastly inadequate. So, with my summer's worth of freedom starting next Wednesday, I thought this would be a good time to get some work experience under my belt.

    I've tried before, but my CVs must have sucked... all I've got to show from those numerous attempts is one lousy letter of rejection. :p This time I'm trying to write three separate CVs that I can use to target different places I might have a chance at getting a job at. I've got the first one (for printing/graphics design type jobbies) finished, but I haven't put any references down at the end. Would that be a big disadvantage? Two recent names I could put down are of random college students who paid me to do stuff for them, but I'm not sure how useful that would be... would it be better to write something like "references available on request"?

    I like my job, hate hate HATE working at 7am every Sunday but can't complain at the fact that I get hours all through the college year. I work in a golf club, in the shop part, so its a mixture of sales assistant and administration work. I've been there for 4 years :)

    Recently my really lovely boss had to retire, so theres been a lot of changes, but still getting a lot of hours with a good bit of flexibility since we organise ourselves what days we want to work :)

    My new boss rang me yesterday at 1.30pm and wanted me to come in at 2.30pm cause they were busy, but I couldn't cause I was babysitting and he knew I had work at 6pm then in my other job. Now I'm worried he will think I'm unrealiable and won't be able to work much so he'l just dump me! Good thing I'm working 3 days this week in my other job...amounting to a whole 12 hours! Money is money!

    It's possible to do both.

    Also, winter is under-rated.
