Starting Paid Work

What were your first full-time paid jobs?
One of us worked in a poultry farm, others in offices, public relations and marketing. None of us are working in the same type of work now as our first job.

How did you get your first job?
Most of us were employed in companies where we had placements. Some of us went to an agency and some to jobs adverts and interviews.

How did you feel about your interview?
Some were terrified, some very nervous and a few only a little nervous.

How did you prepare for an interview?
We talked to friends and relatives, with college tutors and the careers service. Some of us had the opportunity for a mock interview.
