GO! Where was my first job? My first job was at a retail store, a department store selling clothes. It sold clothes for all types of people: for men, women, children and I was a sales associate that rung up clothes. I got to dress mannequins. The thing I liked about it most was that I got to interact with a lot of different people and I got discounts on clothes I could wear to work. AND HOW OLD WERE YOU? I was sixteen years old when I started working there.
