@fares_aktouf My first job was a hotel front desk clerk in Kuwait. I graduated from accounting school in India but was not successful or lucky to find a job in my home land. I applied via https://layboard.in/vacancies/jo... and it was real luck for me back then. The pay was good. Now I returned home, but will come back to the Middle East if I still can't find anything here.
@shivam_jha3 Much appreciated. I think it was a blessing in disguise for you as you got motivated rather than losing hope.
@jennifer_123 very Interesting field, if someone is interested in a creative field, Analytics strategy part and many other things. Digital Marketing is a very vast domain very we can have many different departments where we can learn and grow. Most Important in a digital world it is great to have so many options that we can track each and every metric of our goal which we want in the Marketing field.
@jennifer_123 yes it is a very interesting field. The nature of job is quite fascinating.
My first job was as an electrical engineer intern at Emporium Mall a mall in Lahore.
First ever job? Back office of a car dealership.
First job out of college? Product and Ops at a tiny VR startup.
earned some first money as a freelancer at the age of 16, but only got my first fulltime job at 23 (researcher)
I was 17. I was a carpenter's assistant. My boss had half a thumb and was a draft dodger. One day, I saved him from falling three stories off a balcony by holding onto his tool belt. Definitely character building!
Manufacturing quality auditor. Traveled the world, audited supplier production lines, told very competent engineers with 20+ yrs experience how the client wanted them to do... urgh I feel a ashamed of how frustrated they must have felt about that. Anyway it was a great first job with a lot of learnings.
βοΈ Barista although that wasn't enough to get me drinking coffee, find the taste very strong even now π
Starbucks barista! I absolutely loved it. I worked weekends and after school. I always asked for the 5 am shifts in the summertime so I could be out by 1 pm. Plus, I would work all the holidays to get extra tips!
Tutor in Biochemistry. I was quite hesitant to teach biochemistry since I didn't really understand it when I took the course. But it was remarkably satisfying and I enjoyed every moment of it.
