Turkish Posted 4 April, 2011 Share Posted 4 April, 2011 There is always Macdonalds as well. I know a lot of people are too arrogant to work there but again for a student it's good pay, discounted food and a lot of hours. A lad at the one round the corner from me won top burger flipper of the year or something and won a holiday and some money and vouchers, he was a student. You can make a fair few quid if you are prepared to work there. Plus the added advantage Mikey has is that they obviously employ people with zero social skills so he should walk in no problem.

Same goes to you Turkish. What about Macdonalds? I seriously wouldn't rule it out. As for my job, i am an Account Manager for an IT Company, selling networking technologies, mainly Cisco.

SuperMikey Posted 4 April, 2011 Author Share Posted 4 April, 2011 Not ruling anything out at the moment, although working at McDonalds would expose me to a slew of jokes, as my surname is Macdonald.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see you working in Macdonalds. And if anyone takes the p*ss just show them your wad of Big Mac vouchers and gold stars, he who laughs last and all that.

Turkish Posted 4 April, 2011 Share Posted 4 April, 2011 I also did labouring and hod carrying one summer for my mates brother, £10 a day for about 4 weeks, about 16 years ago, f*ck me that was hard work. He was a slave driver, we'd been bumping out concrete blocks all day in 30 degrees of sun up some scaffolding, sweat pouring off us, we stopped of a quick drink and he starts shouting up the scaffold "i'm not paying you two to stand around, get on with some f*cking work" I could have thrown a block onto his f*cking head that day!!!! Good laugh though, meet some right characters and gets you fit and strong for sure. Give that a go mikey, if your pathetic, limp wristed, soft middle class body can handle that, it'll toughen you up lad. Teach you a few lessons that the world dont owe you a living as well when you see a 60 year old bloke who has been laying bricks all his life still grafting for £15 an hour.

Here you go Mikey, it could be you next. This lad works in the one in Swaythling and is a student, he could be your inspiration and role model. You've got a bit of catching up to do as he has been there 4 years now but within a couple of days i am sure you'll change the fast food industry forever with your business acumen. http://www.thisishampshire.net/news/8171712.City_burger_worker_is_the_best_in_the_UK/ Edited 4 April, 2011 by Turkish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deppo Posted 4 April, 2011 Share Posted 4 April, 2011 I am looking for a young boy (must be at least 18, no older than 19) to do some odd jobs around the house. You may need to stay over some nights. I will pay a healthy wage and any medical bills that you incur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 4 April, 2011 Share Posted 4 April, 2011 I worked in a bar throughout my time at uni. One summer I worked on removal vans and another on the scaffold. Now that was bloody hard work and wasn't for the faint hearted. Know a few students who have done SIA courses and work the festivals over the summer.

Turkish Posted 4 April, 2011 Share Posted 4 April, 2011 I can only dream of reaching the heights he has experienced. I see he is shift manager, If you explain that the reason you are applying for the job is that you see yourself as a younger version of him and see him as an inspiration then maybe he might give you the extra hour here and there, if you dont ask you dont get.

St Chalet Posted 4 April, 2011 Share Posted 4 April, 2011 I used to work at Barfoot's Farm in Abshot when I was at college. As a result I have never eaten another Corn-on-the-Cob to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 4 April, 2011 Share Posted 4 April, 2011 Back in the days I got a summer job with a bunch of mates from college as a cleaner, the deal was cleaning Window Blinds from offices (when peeps used to be allowed to smoke) The deal was so much per blind, the more we cleaned the more we got. Some we power hosed, some we did in situ... We earnt a bucketload of money. The other long term benefit that I never thought about at the time is that even to this day it made me really cool when I go to gigs or clubbing. We cleaned the blinds at the Atomic Energy Research place Winfirth down near Wool in Dorset. Pay was good and to this day I still glow in the dark. Unfortunately it had some side effects, my kids all came out well balanced and Uni graduates with proper jobs and big pay cheques - really not right that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
