Where do you work? -

Isn't queen breeding just giving yourself extra retail competition?

Strike Witch · #32 06-05-2011, 05:23 AM

I'm a Druckmarian Bounty Hunter operating in the Destrillion system. Well, I was, until the Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers rolled in and vaped my home. Now I'm wandering the Outer Rim in search of a quick credit.

Well Max it is a world wide industry but it's not about that, it's about stopping the bees from going extinct as they will do if we don't help them. And besides that's barely extra competition, bee keepers funilly enough never face 'competition' in the conventional sense.

I find that quite hard to believe. You sell honey, someone else sells honey. That's direct competition, right there. By giving someone else the means to produce honey you're basically creating your own competition, like Max said.

What I found weird was this application form I filled in for the bar. It said on there "Salary Expected".I had no idea what to put. So I just wrote down at least national minimum.

Havoc · #36 06-05-2011, 05:29 AM

That's mostly intended for experienced people who have had a lot of previous jobs and thus have a minimum salary they expect (or need) to have. For the employer it's a way to weed out those he can't afford to begin with, leaving him with a smaller bunch of people to interview.

Strike Witch · #37 06-05-2011, 05:37 AM

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Time to die.

Well I have never had a job before. Plus this job is just for me to have an extra bit of cash to myself so I don't really expect anything high.

Crashpunk · #39 06-05-2011, 05:46 AM

I don't have a Job. I'm currently at collage having no idea what to do in the future.

maybe I will be making side money by the end of this year from C++.

Seriously?! Doing what?

STM · #41 06-05-2011, 06:31 AM

I am already programming a game engine for someone but I am doing it for free, in return he is referencing me and might hire me when he sets up his company.

What type of game is it?

STM · #43 06-05-2011, 06:38 AM

A 3D third person puzzle game. But this thread isn't about it so shh!

Sounds cool. The only games I've made are just flash games, still fun to make and play though.

STM · #45 06-05-2011, 06:51 AM

Well the guy who has made all the environments and characters is an amazing designer! I just hope my work does the game justice.

Do the environments he makes look better than this:

Or not?
Consider the fact that that is in the Doom engine...

This isn't really to do with the topic Oddman.

but yes, I'd say they are better

Well it's to do with your work and this is a thread about work so I'd say it's fairly on topic.

I would do C++ myself but I haven't been up the library lately (I usually read these books to learn this stuff to get the basics). Plus I'm still doing flash.

Disgruntled Intern · #49 06-05-2011, 08:45 AM

I do freelance design work for bands, sell paintings and toys occasionally. Taking a hiatus from medical work as I'm in school to further my medical career and I just don't want my life to be so MEDICAL.

Also moonlight as a doorman/bouncer for one of our local venues. Boring. Dorian is currently the primary bread winner.

Does anyone know if Tesco's will take people who can only work 2 days a week? I'm just wondering what my chances will be.

Probably just weekends.

STM · #52 06-05-2011, 09:40 AM

The annoying thing is on my CV I can only put what I expect to finish school with, it's seems funny to put 'I expect to leave secondary school with 8 GCSE's.'

JennyGenesis · #53 06-05-2011, 09:48 AM

I handed a form in a week ago to Tescos for a full time job. I hope to get a reply from them. It's where I would really love to work because I know quite a few people there and its only a 5 minute walk from my house. I'd also love that job at the bar but that involves a bus ride to get there.

Who knows. I just hope I land myself a job before I officially finish college on the 24th June.

***Wil*** · #54 06-05-2011, 10:09 AM

In my experience, applying to Tesco means never hearing from them. Good luck, though!

STM · #55 06-05-2011, 10:59 AM

Good thing is I live only a minutes walk from the Tesco's being built down my road, it would be the easiest job to reach in the world.

A lot of people have been complaining about Tesco building everywhere, Tescopoly they call it.

STM · #57 06-05-2011, 11:43 AM

Yeh we did too but they just let the plot go without repair for seven years, the place became a haunt for drug addicts and the whole place looked nasty because of it, the shops locally will suffer but I need the cash so if it's up then I might as well apply.

Bugger!

Well hopefully I can get this job at a bar. I saw it advertised at the job center so that should mean a higher chance of me getting in. I shall be stopping at the bar tuesday to hand in my application form.

***Alcar*** · #59 06-05-2011, 08:23 PM

I work as a web developer at a small company in Sydney. It has its ups and down, but generally I enjoy the work I do

I've also freelanced here and there for the past four or five years.

Alcar...

JennyGenesis · #60 06-06-2011, 06:01 AM

Is that coding? Or is it actually creating the websites so they look good. I'm not sure what the difference is. Web developing is something I hate
