My First Job

Technically my first job was earning an allowance. My job description included taking out the garbage, cutting the grass, washing the car and any other task bestowed upon me by my loving parents.

However my first real job was a busboy at Sandalini's Restaurant. I started working there shortly after I turned 16 because now I needed to pay for my gas. My job description started out as normal busboy activities. Breaking down tables, setting up tables, cleaning up spills, pouring water, pouring coffee, fetching bread and other duties assigned by the hostess, the waitress, the kitchen, the dishwasher and any other job in the restaurant. Because the busboy was the lowest job in the restaurant.

After a few months, I started receiving extra benefits. Not anything that I could put in my pocket but I received more duties. Things that I ended up using later in my life. I got to whip the butter. I helped the salad girl. I became a temporary dishwasher. I became a bar-back. I went to the supply store. I even got to cook steaks.

My point is that through hard work and dedication, somebody will recognize your efforts and reward you accordingly.
