Hmmm..

1) Managed a swimming pool/worked as a head lifegaurd
2) Swimming instructor
3) Subway sandwhich artist (for 2 days - I don't like customer service)
4) Occasional bouncer/doorman years ago
5) Personal trainer
6) Writer/Editor for textbook materials
7) Taught university and high school
8) Photographer (now that I'm getting paid and booking weddings I'd call it a job of sorts)
9) Research assistant in a lab

There is probably stuff I am forgetting.

Oh, yea, I worked with a cabinet manufacturer for a few weeks too.

During summers in high school I did some construction work, or rather demolishing work, taking down the interior of apartements to the carcass.

When I went to study for my BSc, I started working as an accountant.. still work at the same place pretty much (currently doing my MSc), except I do auditing as well as accounting. I also tried working as an analyst at an investment bank, but it didn't pay as well and my specific job assignments were boring as fuck so I didn't stay on.

A little, I do currently have a job and it pays the bills so I'm not too nervous, however I'm on a contract which I know for sure will be renewed but what I really want is to be a full fledged employee with all the perks and if it weren't for a hiring freeze for all of Xerox I'd probably be in by now. This job however pays significantly better and has all the perks and a much nicer office, one you would usualy see in a movie, plus they cover all the costs of education and certifications in the IT field. I'll almost be making double what I make here and that's something my family could use right now since I'm the sole bread winner. This being the 3rd interview though I'm fairly confident they've already decided who was getting the job and who wasn't and wouldn't be calling me if they weren't interested. Plus the guy is a friend of mines manager and I had him put in a good word for me. :)

Guess all that club buisness at least left me with a lot of contacts :p

So......... apparently there exists such a thing as a 4th interview! Man... it's like the never ending interview I'm really surprised. So I passed interview #3 and now I got another one with their vice president... you'd think I was applying for a CEO job or something. :p
