What jobs have you had and what was your worst/best one and why?

[youngfarmer]

OK so I'll start;
waitress in a cafe (weekend job at school)
department store assistant (weekend job)
silver service/catering company waitress (uni p/t job)
travel agency adviser
hotel receptionist
hotel deputy manager
owner of my own corporate/event catering business & still hotel deputy manager p/t

Worst job was the dept store assistant, awful uniform and some awful customers too (it was a very high end store with some very 'entitled' customers), best job is what I do now, although it's a bit exhausting juggling both jobs!

Best: I spent two years working in an artist/writer/musician resource centre. Slap bang in the city centre, free entry to gigs and openings and lots of invites to parties. Most of the job involved just hanging out in the cafe area, doing some DTP and not much else.

Worst: The two months doing a summer job in a printing business stacking mail order catalogues from the production line. Ten hour shifts of doing ten minutes of hard work, followed by ten minutes of watching the person on the other side of the conveyor belt do the same. Another summer job of being a bricklayer's mate - mixing cement and lifting heavy concrete blocks all day every day for shit money and getting nothing but abuse from the brickies for not going fast enough for their liking.
