 This is fun use your imagination - come up with great jobs and reasons for leaving them
by: Confused *MJ Quixote* View iwk2001's Portfolio.  [Offline / Private]Email User: iwk2001 [Offline / Private] Avg Rating: (7)  
Many of us here in WC.com have had held some interesting positions - please tell me about them - feel free to be creative - honestly isn't the point here - what I am looking for is a job and reasons to have left it that relate back to the job in an amusing way.

enter your jobs in the following format - What was the job and why did you lose it? Below are some example of what I am looking for -

- My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned. I couldn't concentrate.

- Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe.

- After that, I tried to be a Tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it - mainly because it was a sew-sew job.

Some of these are off the internet without knowledge of who created them - if your submission is not original that is OK just insure you give credit if possible where or to whom it is due.

Please keep the rating of submissions to 18+ or below

Thank you all for sharing!
