What's the worst job you ever had?
I'm interested in hearing from you all about the worst job you've ever had before becoming successful in your career. What (not so pleasant) steps did you have to take before landing your dream job?
What do you do for a living now? What was the worst job you ever held (and why?) What did you learn from it or what advice would you tell your younger self while in that position?
Frankly speaking, the worst experience of mine was being a loader. This job is low-paid and really difficult. Therefore, at one day I strongly decided to change this issue and find extremely another job that will be bringing be quite enough amounts of money. Accordingly, in this case I want to mention this site https://uk.jooble.org/jobs-amazon-warehouse/London where I found my current occupation that gives me an opportunity to get decent salary and communicate with my lovely colleagues. So if you also would like to have the same, try this source)
The 1st line of tech support. didn't sleep at all since you had to be ready to open a ticket even during the night.
I love link building but in this case, oh man.
It was a remote position but the owner would sit in a conference call with me while I shared my screen.
He would watch me work.
I was too embarrassed to ask to use the bathroom so I held it.
I felt like I wasn't trusted.
The thing about link building is, it is either done or not. You can see if I've been working by looking to see if the links I claimed are actually there.

I worked for my uncle digging post holes for $75 a day with a check so that's not even $75 a day.
He paid workers $150 so he paid me half of what he paid others.
I should have asked for more money.
Don't let people take advantage of you, even your own uncle.
Great point! Stand up for what your worth. Even if your boss is family!

The worst job I ever had was doing survey research on frozen foods in the freezer aisles of supermarkets. It was so cold!
Harry, I totally understand! I worked in a supermarket as one of my first jobs and would always volunteer to wipe down/clean the glass on the doors of the freezer aisles (to stay busy). My hands were like icicles by the time I got to the end!
Was there anything you learned from this job? Looking back, are there any lessons that you think followed you into your career today or were you too frozen to take away any positive outcomes from the experience? Haha!

Yikes! Personally, when somebody is watching me (even standing behind me while I type), I always seem to perform worse. Seems inefficient if you ask me! I'm glad you don't have to deal with that anymore.
Was there anything that you learned from this experience?
... besides the fact that being watched virtually does NOT promote a motivated employee! haha
