LizzieB 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 1. Since the age of 16, how many jobs would you say you have held? I wouldn't want to count them! Close to 20 I would say, but only if you cound jobs within the same company separately. 2. Which was your favorite job? Why?

I took it in college because I needed some cash and I quit as soon as I got it. 4. Have you ever been fired? Yes, but suffice it to say, it was a big misunderstanding on my philandering boss's part and not at all my fault. 5. Your worst job that you ever had? The Chucky Cheese job. Ugh!! 6.

I took it because I was bored in the evenings when I first got out of college. But I wasn't bored enough to keep up that job!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weird monkey 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 1. Since the age of 16, how many jobs would you say you have held? 4 or 5 2. Which was your favorite job? Why? Building a semi permanent movie set. The owner/director would call us from Hollywood, tell us what his 'vision' was that week, and tell us to build something.

We got to exercise our creativity, but didn't have to deal with Hollywood types - it was like the best of both worlds, lol. 3. Have you ever quit a job? If so, why? I guess I left horse racing to take time off and never went back. 4. Have you ever been fired? When the nimby neighbors raised such a stink with the county about the movie set, Matthew had to shut it down, and then we had to dismantle most of it. That was all she wrote. 5. Your worst job that you ever had? Bookkeeping, but mostly because I want to move on my painting career. 6. Take this quiz - What's Your Ideal Career?
