August, 2009-tell Us About ... Contest..winner Announced..

Hello Crushers!

Crushers, please tell us ... about your 1st real paying job, (working for a company) where/what was it?

I started working for a doctor, cleaning his home and office and within a month was his secretary. I was 14 and he paid me $1.25 per hour which was fantastic. (I gave up my weekly babysitting job that I had for 3 years. I babysit 5 kids for 5 hours for $1.25 a week ... that's total not per hour. LOL

Everyone that makes a post will have their names placed into a random drawing where we will give away 1 x $30 prize.

You will need 3,000 CC-points to redeem for the $30 cash prize. If you do not have enough CC points to redeem, you'll be credited with 3,000 CC points instead - so next time you win, you'll be able to redeem your CC points for the cash prize.

Contest will end August 24th, 2009.

If you have not yet done so, you will need to advise us which payment method you would like us to use to pay you. To do this, please go to the red section above and click on "My Payment Method" and follow the instructions.

My first real paying job was for my doctor. I would work after school and weekends to filing and tidying up her office. It was so long ago I forget how much I got paid.. but I do remember babysitting for .75/hour as well and I remember when I asked the lady for a raise to $1. per hour she got mad and yelled at me... WITCH !

When I was a Sr. in high school, I had a job in an an apparel factory (I.E. sweatshop) sewing sweater inseams. It was a minimun pay job, but I moved out on my own within 3 months of gettign the job!

My first job was working at the Post Office.Pay was fantasic back then.Almost $3 an hour.Too bad it was only 16 hours a week.

My first paying job was as a temp position at the Paris ( a local clothes department store) where I did pricing on clothes to put on the floor.

My real first paying permanant job was as a beautician. I went right into Beauty School when I got out of high school. I did that job over 25 years and had a great following.

My first job was in a Saltfish factory as a 14 year old vent there in the summer holiday and asked if i could get some work surely enough i got 4 hours a day for the hole summer can't remember the pay but i remember it being a lot for a lil kid who finally had some money without having to ask mom or dad for it
