The Worst Job I Ever Had
The worst job I ever had Many of us have to go through different hurdles in our life and one among those is having the worst job. All of us have to work in this world and the jobs that we get may not be the best job that we like. “All things are difficult before they are easy” (Fuller, Brainy Quote). The printing job was the worst job that I ever had. I was assigned to print designs on the T-shirts. There were two huge machines that looked like a waffle maker with two hot surface sides that can hold an extra extra large size T-shirt. The T-shirts were plain and available in different colors, texture and sizes. Each design has the word New York and a picture that promotes the New York City. For example, there were pictures of the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the National Museum of History, etc. After the T-shirts’ are printed, the owner will sell them in Manhattan city for $2.00 each. I had to quit the job on the first day because it had many risks involved; I had to face many difficulties and there were only minimum rights given to the employees. The first reason that the printing job was the worst job that I had is that I had to face many difficulties while going through this job. The job that I was supposed to do was to print the designs on the t-shirts. First, I had to wait until the machine got hot about 75 degrees which makes the whole area get hotter in minutes. Second, I had to clear the wrinkles, if any on the t-shirts and place six pair of the same color and same size on one side of the hotter surface. The best part that I like about the job is that I can use any designs to print and do any creative works on it. However, I had to position the design that suits the color of the T-shirts on the middle of the T-shirt. Finally, I had to press hard on the other side of the heavy machine on to the top of the T-shirts with designs and wait for about five to ten minutes to get the designs on the T-shirts. I had to use

    What canvas holds some of the most creative artwork today? If you guessed the human skin, you would be right. However, about three decades ago, one would only find these types of markings and insignias on what would be considered the “rough” crowd: bikers, sailors, gang members, and prison inmates. Today; however, tattoos and piercings can be seen on nearly anyone from the age of 15 and up. Not to mention, these body modifications can be found on all types of workers, male or female, white and blue-collar. Even though times have changed and opinions along with it, the workforce is still making a firm stand to some older thoughts. Although, body art has become a more accepted form of individualistic expression; it will continue to suppress individuals’ chances of succeeding in a professional environment, because employers, clients, and customers still have a negative connotation associated with the presence of tattoos and piercings.…

    I think that moving to Hawaii has been the biggest mistake that I have ever made, and I regret all of my horrible choices on that day. The workers gave me a paper with some foreign language that I couldn’t read, but I signed it anyways, eager to move to Hawaii. They had promised me a nice house to live in, but it has an acrid smell and is full of pests like rats, cockroaches, and termites. I thought I could’ve moved back home wealthy, but the pay is horrible. It’s almost my 11th year here, and I just paid back the manager for my trip here. I expected Hawaii to be like paradise, but now I realize that it’s the complete opposite of paradise, so I hope that I can move back soon.…

    My Working Experience

    I never actually attended UConn as a degree student. Although it is true that I enrolled late in the summer of 2009, it was only for the briefest amount of time. I enrolled late at UConn because unforeseen financial issues in my family made attending the other schools I was accepted into a terrible idea. However, quickly after enrolling I came to the realization that I had no concise plan of action towards a specific degree. I was enrolled in a mishmash of different classes that did not take me towards any direction. Therefore, I decided to drop the courses I was enrolled in, and instead work full time and save money to pay for college on my own. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, some kind of error must have occurred in this process. I thought…

    Tattoo Parlor - Ethnography

    • 10 Pages

    This essay describes the job of a tattoo parlor and the tattoo artist, and the interaction between the artist and the customer. The description is of a normal day where I visit Blue Moon Tattoo, watch a lady being tattooed, and receive a tattoo of my own. I describe the complete day in the parlor, from watching a woman find the perfect tattoo, to watching her getting the tattoo. Along with the description, the main point of this essay is to explain how people can actually be comfortable with a tattoo artist and be comfortable with needles being poked into their body. A small amount of interaction between the artist and the customer makes the tattoo have a bit of personality, and a memorable experience.…

    In the passage “Working at McDonalds” by Amitai Etzioni he starts off by stating that “McDonalds is bad for your kids”. He doesn’t feel this way because of the food, but instead of the mass production jobs they offer our youth. He says studies show two thirds of high school students have part time jobs in the food chain business, and McDonalds is the pioneer, trend-setter, and symbol. Amitai states that of course at first these jobs seem right, and may seem to bring up work driven, self-reliant youngsters, but what they really do is undermine school attendance and involvement, teach you few skills that are useful in life, and demean the values of teenagers. He thinks work should teach you the fruits of labor and self-discipline. He said that McDonalds has a job that is uneducational in several ways. He says it is far from providing opportunities for entrepreneurship, self-discipline, self-supervision, and self-scheduling.…

    Over the summer I applied to be in a Business summer apprenticeship program at the Metro Achievement Center located in Chicago more specifically Greek town. With hopes to learn as much as I could and test whether business was something I could see myself doing for the long run I started my first day at the program. After a few days of getting to know my other classmates and getting to know what our routine would be like we started to learn and as you could already guess I loved it. The program taught us things from how complex it could be to write a professional email but it also gave us the opportunity to take charge and start our very own small business which consisted of five members who all had an important role in order to make our business…

    My Worst Job

    I have held a couple of jobs in my short yet young life. I have not so much as hated a one particular job but rather didn't like a certain conditions or a particular person, but at Western Inventory I recall too many things that were unpleasant, intolerable and unbearable. The first job I ever had, that I recall I hated the most was working at Western Inventory Service where I worked for roughly about three years. It isn't a classy job and it isn't the cleanest one either. There are times you get really dirty from crawling on the floors of the stores or in the storage areas and back rooms where dust just loves to live so by the time you were finished you looked like a magnet for dust bunnies. The extensive traveling, immature coworkers and the lousy malfunctioning machinery used are good enough reasons never ever to work for Western Inventory Service.…

    Olaf campus. I hesitated to take the job because it meant taking on more responsibility than I was used to. I was responsible for finding a housing option, paying for my housing, and preparing my own meals among other things. Furthermore, I had no prior painting experience so I felt incompetent for the job. The first week of the job was the hardest because of laborious work of learning the ins and outs of painting. Lots of paint was spilled on the floor, walls taking twice as long to paint, and walls were repainted more than twice that week. However, as the days turned weeks, and weeks turned into months I felt more confident in my painting skills, work became more enjoyable, and I was able to adapt to my living situation. Additionally, because I was responsible for my own meals I learned to cook and even enjoyed doing…

    I furiously ripped a sheet of paper out of my notebook and glared at the blank lines I had to fill. My mom assigned a creative writing paper to my daily schoolwork load. Up until seventh grade all I had known was the public school system. In public school, I had acquired an unhealthy habit of getting away with the least amount of work while still maintaining an above average grade. I had the assumption that school would be even easier, having my mom as my teacher. To my surprise, my mom actually expected more effort from me than any of my other teachers in public school. My mom rudely awakened me to the fact that true success did not come without struggle.…

    On my birthday, the seventh of May, my mother, the eminent, Whitney West Scooter, almost had a major myocardial infarction. After, I told her that her aspiring Michelangelo had with-drawn from her alma mater the illustrious J. C. West Institute of Fine Arts. Throughout break-fast, lunch, and dinner, I tried to explain to her that the reason I left the Institute, at the end of my junior year, was to accept a generous offer put forth by Tommy Hagsmight, an iconic tattoo artist and owner of the multinational corporation, ‘Ink It Baby.” My mother, of course, didn’t care one iota, that Tommy would personally mentor me during my three year apprenticeship or that the corporation had agreed to pay for the apprenticeship program, license, seminars,…
