There was a LOT of jumping around with all of those.
I have done a LOT of temping. about 6 years ago I wrote a list of every company I had ever walk through the doors of and stopped counting at 60. I reckon i have been through the doors of at least 20 more since then. There is no way i could ever recall them all.
My working life started at Michele Patiserrie until my sisters school formal the after party was at our place and the music got turned off at 5am and i had to get be at work at 6am. I was shattered (was barely legal working age) and was asked not to come back! Ha.
I then applied for a couple of jobs and got them all, my parents suggested I start at all 3 and see which one i liked more (that i think was the catalyst of me learning that I could actually enjoy my work and didn’t have to take just any job - much to my families disgust!) Those 3 Jobs were. K-Mart, Jewel Supermarket and Maccas. I choose Maccas!
Man I only included jobs I have done for a decent period of time like a year or so, seems some people have gone to town with anything they have ever done for money, not sure anyone wants to see my version of that ha ha ha!
Mine were all careers of 6mths or more!
Some in fact years!

So by that rationale you’re about 70yrs old Oz?

Lets say they were all 2 years (some were 6 months so lets be generous.)
Most people finish school at 17-18.
So 8x2 = 16
18+16 = 34
Thats hardly 70 lol
I was referring to the 60+ companies mentioned!
Thank you TJ!
I left school at the end of year 10 was still 15 when I started my apprenticeship!

You didn’t say that! you were whinging about the careers!
As a Temp I sometimes only went to a company for a day or 2!
But by comparison my longest Temp job (yes timesheet to an agency each week!) was 11mths when I was in London.

Yea but the other ones were all for less than 6 months.
If you worked at a bake sale on sunday afternoon, that counts but don’t really age you any…
I’ve worked plenty of jobs that were 1 offs etc. I did an election which was 1 sunday where I made $300. Was awesome.
Settle down, I wasn’t having a go at anyone just poking fun don’t take it to heart. Maybe ignore me for the next few days I’m wiped out on pain meds.
