1st job Posted Sunday, July 22, 2012 02:47 PM My first job was after school on pacific Blvd/gage Ave. at the orange Julius, next to laury's Shoe Store. I managed the store for the summers '60' - '61 so the owner could go on holiday. He was gone on a cruise for a month in '61, Boy did I feel important, no wonder I spent my life in the retail business world. |

RE: 1st job Posted Tuesday, July 24, 2012 03:35 PM My first job was also on Pacific blvd. at Leed's Shoes. I was a stockboy and dyemaster (dyed cloth shoes) after school, and on Saturdays and Summer weekends, I was a salesman. After I got out of the Army, for about three years or so, if I needed some extra cash, I would sell shoes on weekends. If the store is still there, my name may be written on a couple of of the shelves. |

RE: 1st job Posted Friday, August 10, 2012 09:38 AM After graduation, I worked at Woolworth's Dept. Store. I really liked working at the candy counter. I can't believe that I made less than $1.00 an hour! Crazy..........

RE: 1st job Posted Wednesday, July 24, 2013 08:36 AM I started woking at 8 years old and don't remember being unemployed until I retired in 2004. At 8 years old I was the youngest paper boy that ever worked for the HP Daily Signal. My route was on Olive St between Mountain View and Seville. Although I had other jobs, I contiued to work in the paper business (part time) until I joined the Air Force. I worked at Ted's Mobile at Olive and Seville, in the shoe department at JC Penney's on Pacific Blvd, Safeway Market. Paul Anderson |
