Jobs journal

We were disgussing about different jobs what we have done with workmate, so I shall continue it here too. Only real ones (you get paid decently with some standards, not painting your own house for exchange of candy-money or smth like that) counts.



Stone-installer (4th summer in total, if I remember correctly)
Customer-appointment / renovation-cost-evaluation -stuff-thingie (call for potential customers and those who have made a call-request)



Cleaner (for ~2 previous years, on evenings)
Postal office worker (in a company 2008-2009, not in "real" post office)
Tourist guide / snowmobile-safari-driver (in tourist season during college)
Cashier at store (during college)
Snow-get-rid-of-er (gig job sometimes in winter)
Cargo-unloader (at local supermarket, gig stuff)
Santa Clause (few times, touring on christmas eve)
Painter (few half-summer at ~14-16-yo)
Grass-cutter / tree-planter / other green stuff (few summers)
Telemarketer (few months when I hadn´t got anything else)
Social-service-bum / poker-pro ;) (2006 summer)

Hmm, I guess that is about it, can´t remember more atm. I so like my current day-job, if weather is nice :) Suckiest one was definately telemarketer, I hated to bother people on summer, selling some shit-magazines.

What have you done, which is / was the best, what sucked?

Keep on rolling!

Yea, one of the best things in my current job is that it keeps (well, gets) me in shape. Already lost my beerbelly :) Made a record today, over 6 tons installed by hand.

Currently part time mailman (it pays better than unemployments fee), looking for a fulltime job atm.

Was also telemarketeer for a few weeks, and I worked in a warehouse for a few days.

Student jobs include working in a supermarket, working in a warehouse and working as an administrative clerk for a public transport company.
