how do you earn a living...?

Student but I used to be an office administrator.  Looking for a temp job for the remainder of the summer but haven't seen much.

Can't be worse than me - I work full time at a place where the catchphrase is "I'm lovin' it" when half of us aren't. Please don't judge me on this, it's the only job I could get whilst working out what to do with my future.

I think I'm taking a gap year, earning some money and then doing a degree on creative writing or media. I was in uni last year but I dropped out because the course wasn't right for me. Next time I'll be going into accomodation too instead of commuting everyday. I got very depressed at uni because of the stress of commuting everyday and the boringness of the course. I turned into a starved fool and lost lots of weight because I refused to eat, then bounced the other way and binge-ate for a while. Now I'm back on track, saving my pennies, working a fifty hour week and sorting myself out

Im a joiner / kitchen / bathroom fitter

'Every little helps' Part time

I dont think any job is actually "the lowest of the low" is it? I mean everyone has their own opinions as to what job would fit that bill! Some would interpret it as say a binman due to the close relationship with our filth! But then I actually know a binman who loves his job and also finds some right treasure in our garbage! lol

I run a business and security consultancy firm, I am sure some of my clients have labelled me as "the lowest of the low" when they receive my bill! ha

HappilyExperimenting - I would actually love to work at McDz! Granted not long term but would love to get all my gold stars! haha

I'm a housewife.......but I make cakes (sometimes rude ones!) as a hobby!!!  I might have to start charging people for them if I'm ever going to manage to buy everything off my wishlist...lol!!!

Aww thank you flirtatiousbaby, the job is very demanding and I've only been there three months so no gold stars yet! I've completed learning about the majority of jobs in the restaurant (fries, windows 1 and 2, kitchen etc) but would much prefer to work somewhere which isn't minimum wage and offers more oppurtunities. Maccies does look good on the CV though 

 I'm a full time Mummy which, ok, doesn't earn me money but I get paid in smiles and cuddles from the little one so it's definatley worth it!

I have got 2 jobs and still not enough money to get me away from this God Forsaken land    AIUTO VOGLIO ANDARE VIA DA QUI ....

Yeah good luck, relax (easier said than done), listen to what they are asking you and be yourself its not a test!! xx

Good luck PPD

Thanks everyone, I'm off now I really hope I get it :D

I hope the interview went well, PPD9. I hate interviews, there was one occasion when I was asked what I could bring to an office full of women & I said I was really good at getting rid of spiders...

Happily my lack of interview technique hasn't stopped me entering my chosen field of shuffling bits of paper from one end of the desk to the other.

Im glad I dont have interviews

Good luck!  Interviews suck.
