WE ALL HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE! We’re interested in hearing about YOUR first job! We Asked Team Members The Same Questions We’re Asking YOU:
- What was your first job?
- Tell us about your experience! Did you love it or hate it?
Here Are Some Of Our Team Member’s Answers:
Dr. Stephen:
My first job was as a day camp counselor at Judd Farm Day Camp in Watertown CT. I loved everything about it! Being out in the sun, playing sports, riding horses, hayrides and working with some great kids.
Jocelyn:
My first job was at Dr. Mike’s Ice Cream shop. I was 15 and scooped ice cream, served customers and worked the cash register. It was super fun!
Lynn:
My first job at 16 was at Devino’s Carvel on Watertown Ave in Waterbury. I liked the fact that I had free ice cream any time I wanted. I liked the tam and customers. It was fun making the ice cream cakes. The only thing I didn’t like was the older woman, Bessie, that worked days and taught you how to make the products. She would yell at you if you did something wrong. Very scary!
Kayleigh:
My first job was in pharmacy/retail and the job itself was only alright. Working with customers was a wonderful experience, but at 17 years old, getting yelled at by customers for things out of my control was terrifying! It helped me to mature very quickly!
Lily:
My first “real” job was as a cashier at Stop & Shop. It was fast paced & fun. I definitely enjoyed it and think everyone should have that experience. I’ve been babysitting from age 12 until a month before Raylee was born.
Tali:
My first job (after babysitting) was at Express clothing store in the Century City mall in L.A. My friend and I got the jobs together and had a ball! We loved the clothes and laughed all the time. I felt so grown up when using the register. The only time I didn’t enjoy it was when a woman yelled at me for mistakenly putting her clothes on the rack!
