We are not competing on the basis of how odd it was. :snooty: Honestly I would have given anything at my young age to get that job. :smiley:
So far you get the cake for having the oddest job. :hehe:

I was a waitress at a local restaurant, but got fired since the owner thought i was way too flirtatious with customers whether they were male, female, older folks and giving away free stuff. Yeah whatever, at least I made some good tips.

Khalil bhai, it's not just about transition... it's something that's a part of life for people who're growing up in the West... that's why I don't necessarily consider these "odd" jobs in the literal sense of the word. Even for new immigrants, it provides an adequate means to blend into a new social structure while they explore opportunities in their desired career areas.

For me, between the ages of 16 and 21, I was employed in what may be termed as odd jobs primarily to support my undergrad education... these jobs included:
- telemarketer
- poster/flyer delivery person
- kiosk sales person
- customer service rep
- security guard

I worked for bhs (British Home Stores) as a retail assistant for few months...that was my first and probably last job. It was odd enough for me.

Re: What Odd jobs have you worked at ?

waitress
receptionist
tkmaxx floor assistant
checkout operator

I consider them all "odd" jobs because they require no qualifications. I had done all these jobs before I turned 19. The only "real" jobs I've done include tutoring and my 6 month long internship.
