No, not THAT kind of job smart a$$es. I spent a lot of time going from job to job after college trying to figure out what the hell I wanted to to for the rest of my life. Here is the list: Graduated with (useless) Music Degree. 1. Enterprise Rent A Car- Worked there for 3 years. Great for college grads but burned out quickly. 2. "Executive Recruiter" (Headhunter)- Cold calling sucks. 3. Recruiter for different company- Cold calling still sucked. 4. Bank One Ass. Manager- Bank got robbed, gun stuck against my temple, quit next week. 5. Chase Bank Call Center- Took verbal abuse 8 hours a day, couldn't say anything back. Now I'm working for AIG. No nights, no weekends, decent salary and best of all...no contact with the general public. I think I'll stick with this one for a while. What about you?
My story is pretty simple. - Knew I wanted a degree in computer science. - Using the University's Career Center I was able to luck up a job in software enginneering before I graduated. - Still at the same job.
1) UTHSC (University of Texas Health Science Center) 2) TCB (Texas Commerce Bank - Chase Bank of Texas) 3) UnumProvident All in programming over a 18 year period.
12 different gigs (some of them were consulting contracts) since graduating college in 1983. All of them involved computers (mainly software support/training/report writing). Currently on a contract involving software security. By the way...my college degree is a BS in Advertising. Looks good hanging on the wall in my home office but I have never worked in the advertising industry.
Bartender- The Tavern San Marcos Intern KSAT 12 San Antonio Sports Offered position as Weekend Sports anchor KGNS -8 Laredo..money to low...career change... Head Bartender Dave & Busters in Houston Sales Manager Prime Systems computers in Houston Associate producer/Designer Origin Systems in Austin Producer/Designer/founder Digital Anvil Austin President/CEO/Founder Fever Pitch STudios Austin Sold company to Warthog and am now...

We have 20 people here and going to double that in the next year....could not complain one bit. DD
I resemble that remark. Nothing special, I work at the call center but not on the phones. Just correct mistakes on 401k distributions all day. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work on the Penske File.
Agreed. codell, you missed this one: http://bbs.clutchcity.net/php3/showthread.php?s=&threadid=59921 6th post down.
I did miss that. Very good though! If I was on my game today, I would have responded to IMA's post by saying "You are not Penske material" or "Good luck on transferring the contents of the file into the flexible accordion-style folder".
Since graduating I've had (I think) nine jobs including barista, pet sitter, newspaper reporter/editor, massage therapist, vintage jewelry dealer and public relations writer. Before and during college I worked at 12 different places (that's all I can remember, but I'm pretty sure there were more) as a writer, field trip coordinator for a pre-school, assistant at a law firm and salesperson/manager at more retail establishments that I care to recall.
speaking of bartending.... i made this absolut citron, pineapple juice, sprite remix drink last night that kicked sooooo much assprin. anyway... i'm on my 3rd. bank united/washington mutual arch wireless presently work for a small software company here in atlanta doing a qa/training/support gig.
2 jobs 1. guest services/valet at doubletree hotel in austin-needed $ to move to seattle. 2. lab manager/lab technician at pacific northwest research institute- 2 years of diabetes research and now its tiem for change.
I graduated from Washington State University in 1997 and have worked the following jobs. 1) Seattle - Radio Shack - It sucked. I needed a job right when I got to Seattle so I did this b.s. for 2 months.. 2) Seattle - Aetna/US Healthcare Health Insurance Data Entry 3) Seattle - Temp Agency - various Admin. Asst. jobs 4) Seattle - Children's Hospital - Insurance Processor 5) Portland, OR - Northwest Home Care, LLC - Intake Coordinator 6) Portland, OR - Temp Agency - more Admin. Asst. stuff 7) Portland, OR (current) - Managed Healthcare Northwest - Intake Coordinator.. I guess that makes 7.
