Hey BTS, so I may get a summer job this year!

I realized that I was old enough to get a summer job and at the batting cage I went to today i asked them whether they had any open positions available, and they said they did have some this summer. Plus, I will get to meet the owners of the place, and I will also get to talk to them about the availability of the job. They give out at least $8.00 per hour and I am going to be able to wear any type of clothing I want. It's going to rock!

Good luck, and promise me if you get hired you take pics and post them.

First jobs are always fun! I sure enjoyed my first job, feeling so independent, like a big shot. And then that first paycheck came and my Grandpa said I had to cough up 70 dollars out of each paycheck to earn my keep. The shock was overwhelming! I felt like someone had stabbed me in the pocketbook big time! Now, looking back he was only trying to teach me something, and I do appreciate his effort.

Sure, I'll be sure to take pictures of the inside of it when I am not doing anything. When I am on duty there I may not be able to do that, and that's because I'll always have to answer all of the calls, etc.

Do you want pics of me or of the place?

You're saying that you had to give $70 out to your savings account?

That's what you do right?

Either/or. Here is my first job bagging groceries back in 1984. Seems like yesterday.

Sounds like a cool first job Maverick.
When will you be able start?

Let us know when get through the hiring process.

Batter-up!

Very cool Mav.


Make sure you are responsible with it and do the best job you can do.

Good luck.

I probably will be able to start in July and it will be great for me because I'll get some working experience in and I'll earn at least $8.00 per hour.

I don't know when I'll be able to start, as I have yet to meet with the owners of the place...

but all is well as I am very excited that I may have a chance to get a summer job!

for my first job all i did was walk in and have the manager say you got the job without an interview (maybe my sis played a large role in getting the person to hire me )

must say though it sucked working TESCO
with £3.26 per hour ($7.00) piss take

My first job application was quite interesting. When I was in high school, my mother was ragging on me to go out and get a job. A few buddies of mine were working at Sobeys, doing the front end gig, which consisted of putting the carts back in the coral. Well, in the middle of a Canadian winter, I was not going to be caught dead working outside in a parking lot pushing shopping carts. With that said, my mother still insisted on taking me down and getting an application. I had a few friends working there, as I said, so it seemed obvious that I would get the job.

But with a little trickery, I managed to escape the job. I went in, got the application, and in the line that asked what position I was applying for, I filled in Store Manager. You know, just thought I'd go for it. Obviously I never got a call back and never had to push shopping carts in the winter.

But my first job came when I was 12 and I worked as an extra on a television show. It was only a small show shot in my community, but it was fun to see how everything goes down behind the scenes. Man, we stole everything from that place. Nothing of any value, just little things that were given for free. They said, take a can of pop... we took twenty.

Working in a batting cage for the summer would definitely have it's benefits though.

Do you play any ball?

Yup I plan on playing in the RBBA senior league this spring and I will play on my school's slow pitch softball team. It should come in handy.

I'll post my stats.

That sounds pretty cool Chissler, too bad you never got a call back, but now you get to be a mod on ATS, so I guess it worked out right?

Good for You... I hope the job works out..

just don't be too upset when that $8 per hour is knocked down to $5 or so after taxes... :shk::shk:

batting cage?happy for you^^ but i dont know whats a batting cage...
im sure going to enjoy my first job this summer^^
