The best job I ever had was working for two Doctors in a Natural Therapies Clinic. I really had my eyes opened about the Medical Profession and I thank God every day for giving me that job.

I was a builder’s labourer and thoroughly enjoyed it. That was back in the 70’s.

Growing up i loved books so my most memorable job was working at a bookbinders, restoring old books, turning soft cover books into hard cover books for libraries. It was my first job & my favourite job. It was that first job that also made me realise i loved working with my hands & found i was quite creative.

Playing in bands all my life and making people happy through the power of music

Just being mum and grandma to so many cuties

Forensic odontologist during megantic tragedy in the province of Quebec

Doing meals on wheels and meeting the older clients was very good. We often made helped them feel less lonely. In a way it was fun.

Being a mum??

I only ever had to employers and did the same job for both, but by far the best job I ever had was raising my 3 children. I stayed at home, and yes we did without holidays and takeaway but I watched them all take their first step, speak their first words and I passed on to them my moral code and how to treat other people. Once the eldest went to work I re-entered the workforce which was 17 years later. I didn't miss one minute of my children growing up and I was fortunate enough to get to do it again with some of my grandchildren. My youngest turned 44 on Monday, I can't believe the years have flown by so fast but I'm so glad that I got to spend his formative years with him.

This is hard to answer, so I’m not going to really. I have too many stories of memorable jobs, some for good reasons, some not so much so, and so many memorable workforce experiences, being in a bank robbery, heading to the pub eveytime the Tax Office had to be evacuated due to a bomb threat ( we could never go back for the day as we decided it was potentially too dangerous), creating havoc at McDonalds at Piccadilly Circus so that I could be punished and sent down the corridors to scrub the grouting with a toothbrush ( and hang out with the Danish girls down there preparing the salads), observing the ‘ ladies’ at the spring racing carnival getting their hats stuck in the window trying to put a bet on with me 1 hour after the Melbourne Cup has run ( get to watch them chucking up with glass imbedded in their feet passed out on the track too). Then there’s the altruistic stuff, but that’s boring!Edited 09-Nov-22 19:50pm

I have had some wonderful jobs throughout my lifetime, but the most rewarding one was helping to keep partner alive and happy in last remaining years. He never complained and outlasted many doctors' opinions and enjoyed his life too.

The job I enjoyed the most, and worked at the longest, was in Georgia, working with adults with disabilities. I worked at Fine Finish in Danielsville for 8 1/2 years. The only job I rushed to every day. I started out part time at 20 hours a week, and left a salaried Instructor. I still miss working there.

My most memorable job was straight out of high school when I got a job as a telephone operator at 15. It was fun going to work, I really enjoyed it.

Before I did my nursing diploma, I worked in Aged care first as a Voli part-time for a few years, then as a nurse assistant ***gold*** I love the oldies, so many wonderful lives they led, so many stories they told - amazing. I felt privileged caring for them in their twilight years. Alas, nursing in acute care per se, now sucks :( (I still miss the caring for ppl) but I got out of acute care nursing because I could not nurse the way I wanted to (looking after pt's in a holistic way). So now I facilitate looking after (work health & safety) the healthcare staff who look after the pt's. Drive the safety management system for over 5,000 + staff. ugh...roll on retirement Co VID has been brutal... :( Edited 09-Nov-22 18:24pm

Definitely assisting doctors delivering newborns. And on occasion when the doc didn't arrive in time, flying solo (well other RN's helped) if we had absolutely no OB in house. Nurses do all the gory and docs get all the glory. Lol. Wow, it's been many years now. Edited 09-Nov-22 18:06pm

Riding for Disabled - its the best thing - esp those riders who are unable to go bushwalking...they just love the trail riding days. We also play games on horse back, giving them eye and hand coordination, strengthening their core muscles, and generally giving them something exciting to look forward to each week.

Mucking out animal pens at my uncle’s animal sanctuary - I just loved it! I loved the work, I loved learning about unusual native Australian animals and I loved learning about their needs!Edited 09-Nov-22 19:25pm

Becoming a dad

J'ai fais du bénévolat pour l'association du hockey mineur quand mes enfants étaient jeunes. J'ai travaillé avec des gens formidables qui étaient aussi passionnés que moi pour organiser les activités du hockey (tournois, joutes de la saison,etc.) tout pour que les enfants puissent pratiquer ce sport. Je me rappellerai toujours de cette belle période dans ma vie. Voir les jeunes heureux était ma récompense, rien n'est plus enréchissant sur le plan personnel.

Going tot he Garbet Airforce Base and playing in their aircraft.

Working on Barrow Island oil field, great workmates & environment with the added bonus of fishing after work.

I put off answering this one...I have had lots of great jobs..and several really terrible ones...and so many that I could never pick one anyway..I knew Daniel T had a lot of fun...I was looking forward to hearing his!....and I remember in many jobs just falling about with laughter...or weird or wonderful things happening...a lot of you guys have done wonderful things to help others...more power to you...and I feel a bit guilty and sad when I read some of the others....

i am still searching after 60 years

The volunteer job I have now giving out food, furniture and paying bills for people in need. So rewarding and satisfying.

My most memorable job was working as a teacher's aide in my local middle school. I started out as a substitute teacher aide, after my youngest daughter started full day school. The next year I had recieved an offer of a full-time position with a Special Ed teacher that I had worked with many times as a sub. My first day as a full-time aide, I walked into my first class which just happened to be my oldest daughter's class. Several kids said, "Erin, Your Mom is here". I I discovered that I loved working with these kids, many of whom had learning disabilities. I never wanted to be a full time teacher, as I observed the stressful jobs they experienced, dealing with lesson plans, curriculimum, parental meetings, tests to prepare, papers to grade, and on and on, Kids would often ask me why I wasn't a teacher, and I would always tell them that when I went home at night, my job done, but teachers work was never done. I retired 5 years ago, after 20 years, and I feel that I have made a big difference in many of these young lives. Edited 09-Nov-22 16:41pm

None

Volunteering for Meals on Wheels Seeing old people so happy to see me , especially the ones that were lonely

Even though i have worked as teacher for the last 18 years my most memorable and favourite job was on a sheep farm in the Scottish Highlands in the late 80s after I got out of the Australian Army.

Aged Care - felt useful and appreciated.

Only had 2 jobs in my lifetime. Of course I sold papers after school but full time it was with the PMG TELECOM TELSTRA and later prior to retirement I was a girls high school cleaner . Which one gave me the most enjoyment. Working on the phones

Every job that I have had has been memorable and has had enjoyable moments. But sometimes they were just moments.

Working for a car dealership with new cars that I used to drive.

Working in a home care center while I was in college, it show me what I wanted to do with my life.

coffin maker. my job was to line inside the coffin with polyfoam and white silk, when finished you get in the coffin and try it . very comfortable

I think the most memorable mod I’ve had was being a volleyball referee. The pay was almost non-existent but over the years I met all kinds of people, attitudes, hopes and dreams. I got to travel all across Ontario and had my life enriched from all of my experiences and adventures.

I volunteered for 10 years at my kiddos public school-I had more fun, learned things that could be applied to other situations, and still have kids over 25 years later who remember me or call me Mom!

I was a firefighter, very interesting, many unexpected situations. Bush fires, residential houses and some industrial building fires.

None of my jobs were memorable

I loved teaching adults. At the polytech It was a dream job

A few Spring to mind, but the top 2 were 1. The 9 months I cooked for a YWAM Base in the North Island of New Zealand. 2. The year I spent Cooking/Baking for Mercy Ships, I lived in England, Ghana, then Liberia where I met my wife, I was one of the last to serve on the Anastasis, and one of the first to serve on the Africa Mercy. It's been 15 years since then, but next year I plan to take my daughter on her first Missions Trip with either Marine Reach to Fiji, or to Papua New Guinea with YWAM Australia, she will be 12.Edited 09-Nov-22 12:05pm

Waitressing.

I worked in the funeral industry for many years, found it very interesting and rewarding, every funeral was different. The only problem was that being on stand by every fortnight was draining and could not plan anything especially grocery shopping because as soon as you left home you would get a call out.

Unfortunately all my paid jobs have been minimum wage or below and abusive. Quit my last one about a year ago where I was a waitress/barista only being paid $20 an hour and yelled at daily and being called stupid. After that moved interstate and volunteered at a family history library for a bit but didn't last long and had to move back. I now have nothing again and need to work it out.

I used to work in the entertainment business and touring around Australia a number of times was my most fun and most memorable job. It actually was more like a party/holiday.

IT WAS WHEN I WORKED AT AN ABORIGINAL AGED CARE CENTRE AT DOCKER RIVER 850 KMS FROM ALICE SPRINGS IT WAS A GOVERMENT PILOT PROGRAM TO SEE IF IT WOULD WORK FOR OTHER TOWNS IN THE OUTBACK I LEARNT THE LOCAL LANGUAGE AND WAS ADOPTERED BY THE HEAD LADY OF THE TRIBE IT WAS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONEEdited 09-Nov-22 19:07pm

My most memorable job was working at Coles Edgecliff, NSW. We were all beginners (2004) and I had recently finished Uni. As we would entered into the Coles staff room we would feel the periodic shaking of the floor (air ventilation unit). There was also a very cooling sea-breeze blowing outside the shopping area, being close to the ocean. Indoors it felt as though we were next to a volcano that was shaking the floor every so often :P

Delivering papers when I was 14/15. That's it, every other job I've had hasn't been enjoyable in any way

My most memorable job was when I was employed as a counsellor later in life in a church. I loved talking, praying and helping people who were seeking help in so many different ways. This job gave so much meaning to my life.

My jobs have been memorable for different reasons. In high school, I had to do volunteer work so I always did mine at my local primary school. Collecting and making teacher resources, running errands, helping in the classrooms, whatever anyone needed to save them time. I loved doing that. My job at a cafe taught me a lot about what I could do and my job at a service station taught me how to navigate a bad situation and showed me my limits mentally

My Most Memorable was when I began working with the elderly in an Alzheimer unit. I have never loved so many people in my life wow I miss them all

The most important job, which really isn't a job, for me and every other parent is being a good parent to our children.

I was 19 yrs and started a job with a printing firm. I worked for 4 ex South Melbourne football players. They were great to work for. Sometimes naughty but nice.

I can't say any of my jobs that I have worked in have been memorable except being a mum to my 3 awesome sons.

I don't have a memorable job.

Being a full time Mum to my children, and now being a part in my grandchildren's lives. I was also a carer for 12 years for my elderly Dad. No paying job I have ever had would be as memorable or important.

The one I keep coming back to while thinking of all the jobs I've had is being a night crew manager for a cleaning company. We cleaned banks, medical offices, car lot offices, lawyers' offices. But the memories are about being in banks and the alarms not set when we enter, doors not locked. One time a police officer parked behind us and wanted to search my car for no reason. But the craziest memory is when a crew member forgot a key to a bank in his car and we couldn't get in touch with him. My boss wanted to know if I could jimmy a window open... What?!? NO!!! I didn't work there much longer because she started to have mental issues I couldn't deal with.

my work in Day Respite program, which involved picking up seniors or younger persons with a disability and running activities and outings for them. This gave them a chance to socialise if they lived on their own, or gave their carers a break if they lived with family. Was such fun (also a lot of responsibility) and we had a varied program with some of my friends as volunteers to run the program it honestly didn't feel like work.

My last job I was at for 30 years, there were some really bad time but majority was great and met a lot of wonderful people.

I agree with Jania all of my work has been memorable in health care. Meeting people, caring for them is wonderful. I suppose doing volunteer work at a nursing home would be up there. Like Jania I still get called on from time to time at one of my previous places. Wonderful feeling to still be needed and patients being happy to see you and you them.

All my work have been memorable in different ways. I was blessed to work in various industries, meet interesting people, contribute to society everyday, and was blessed that I enjoyed every day, and even now that I am retired I still get called on. Life has been a blessing in all areas

Being Mum

caring for my terminally ill Husband for the last five years of his life, it was a labour of love.

Working in the conservation area, living in the bush 10 days at a time

My most memorable job 16 still at school and the school canteen staff ask me to help them at lunch time for a free lunch and $10 wk pay just working on the school canteen counter. Best Job

I don't have one. As my first job my mom said don't go find a new job or get education

Swim teaching. Working with kids and helping them become confident in the water was fun and rewarding.

at Erriccson Stadium got to watch a lot Warriors games concerts eg Michael Jackson Tina Turner Santana

Whilst working in England for a couple of years (I am Australian) and doing temporary work. I was paid to sit in the doorway of an office when they were moving to make sure people who were “sticky-beaking” would keep out. I was given money to buy a book, money to buy lunch, and could sit with my feet up and do nothing.

Working as an RN in Palliative Care and ensuring that patients got a good death and supporting their families before and after. Just loved it and miss it to this day!

sorting out rubbish at the tip was, the best job I have ever had smelly, and dirty, but most rewarding, the things people throw away is a business unto itself, we had 4 guys that waded through rubbish 7 days a week to pick up anything of value, we cleaned it up a wee bit and resold to a small army of second-hand dealers, we made an average wage of around 1000 a week and that was 20 years ago, the things we found oh wow

my last job working at a dementia unit ,full of challenges, laughter at times.I loved all of the residents some of them had wonderful memories ,they used to tell me all about them every day ,I never got bored with the same stories over and over again lol.

The first job is the most memorable.

Enginedriver. You have an outside job inside

Working at a rest home. Adored the residents. One in particular Mr Woodley who had his legs amputated. The staff never figured out how he got his one bottle of Chivas Regal every week, hmmm lol.

My most memorable job was doing hay bailing as a kid. Me, my brother and friends would make little hay forts to keep cool in the sun. It was really fun.

Teacher’s aid

volunteer at a foodbank....makes you realise how fortunate you are to those about to receive these food packages

Working on a horse farm for ten years, doing pony rides and the usual jobs at a horse farm, grooming horses, mucking out stalls etc etc.

observer in ship's helicopter when we found the missing yachtie

My most memorable h9b is definitely Walmart I liked it very m7ch

My memorable job was being a waitress and learning everything in the restaurant business

I got shot on the job (which automatic made it the most memorable job I ever had) and it was the only job I ever had!Edited 09-Nov-22 06:07am

Working in homes with IHC people. I found such little gains and their happiness to be so rewarding. I retires 3 years ago but still go to the five homes each 6 weeks to see them all. They are always so welcoming I love it.

Volunteering as cook at a Garden Club we started up in our local suburb.

Yes I agree. You can teach them numbers by asking them the street numbers as you go for a walk. You can teach them to read comics, catalogues whatever. The old way we were taught back in the 50's still holds true today. I have had a lot of jobs from waitressing, cook, office worker, and many more. Each has their pluses and minuses but not have been all that memorable except when I used to go to the homes of the rich and famous. Learnt how some of the other half lived. Never felt jealous though but interested.

My memorable job was being a crossing guard

The job I have now. Working with autistic children. Very rewarding when you get through to them.
