i tick no cuz i'm a lazy bum jks jks i just haven't the time really between studying and other things... like waxing my dolphin...yess....
The part time job wages here are worse. Most part time jobs offer RM 4 an hour which equals to about 1.20 dollars an hour. too busy to work now. Studies..
my first actual job wasn't really part time. it was an on-call job, busboy/waiter at wedding receptions. but i only did that for a few weeks. i worked at this promo company for work experience, then got hired as a full timer, although i got paid per project which was FAR LESS than minimum wage. :(
Not as depressing as my first job Danny u_u;; Did it more for the experience as I'm very shy and my friend couldn't do website design and called me up to help. I stayed there for a while but the pay was very bad. The owner ended up selling and I'm still working with the new owners, but only on websites when they get enquiries for them. I'm now working part-time as a graphic design assistant (or full-time? I'm there almost everyday because it's so busy at the moment! Took a day off today though, xD;) somewhere else with a lot better pay, but still not that great. I prefer website design as I like logic more over creativity. I'm glad I haven't had to work at a fast food place or restaurant so far, but I don't think I could anyway as I'm hearing-impaired and can't work in crowded/noisy places.
I don't have one yet =/ (And I'm 18 already!) Ah well, once I can get my license then I'll probably get one. I really do want to save up to visit Japan but I also want to save money for investments therefor making even more money ;p, ah well, I guess I'm going to have to juggle my money for different things. :(
When i left school i had a part time job in a restaurant kitchen for bout a year, i though it would be a nice expierience to learn the basics of cooking and housekeeping stuffs there to have it easier when going to live alone. The paycheck was okay (i had like 550,- DM back then, that's like 270,- Euros or so) considering i was still living with my mother and had it all for myself, i even got food at that restaurant for free. ^^ Besides that part-time job i did freelance as an journalist going to japan a few times because of it and meeting interesting people to interview and stuff. So i sort of had this part-time job for the reason to learn something and to have money for japan. ^^ When i droped both the jobs finaly i went into the I.T. business, even though i didn't have anything learned yet about it, i became an Administrator at a service company which did run offices all over germany, so i was doing their network with another person, ended up to learn stuff about Cisco devices, Servers and so on. It turned into fulltime after a half year, had a company car and all that. From there on i only had fulltime jobs.
i thought part time is called pato? well i guess thats a direct translate from english. well i had a few part time job that is really miserable in pay but that was like 8 years ago. 1) waiter at chinese dimsum - RM4(125 yen)/hr 2) waiter at PIzza Hut - RM4(125 yen)/hr 3) waiter at Eden Catering - RM6(190 yen)/hr - crazily long hours 16 hrs in a strech at times 4) sales promoter at Giodarno - RM5.5(172 yen)/hr
well, what i saw is there most sales assistant job in japan starts from 1000yen, as in what i saw at shibuya and shinjuku area last dec..
wow. That's a lot I think, comparing the wages we get here =_=
You are shocked that there are places that people win 600 yen per hour? Things here are much worse, the minimal wager per month is around 423€ which makes around 2€ per hour for 8 hours of work, most people don't live, they try to survive :(. Even the recent graduates from university win a crap like 600~800€ per month
Geez, thats seriously low as a wage .... makes me embarrased at how flippantly i spend money in Japan.
Wow, 900-1000 Yen average per hour is a lot compared to here, but knowing the high living cost in Japan, that much might be appropriate ^^; I never lived in Japan, so I don't know if that's more than enough. What do you think Danny, with the current economy? :p
I've never done a part-time. But I've seen some recruitment advertising in department stores. I saw a wage was about 30Baht/hr (about100Yen) Very low I think...
people fail to comprehend that minimum wage isnt suppose to by u a lexus and a white picket fence house.. its just a starting salary for first timers... and here in the us. minimum wage is hardly ever paid anyways.. exept to those people who include tips (watresses, lap dancers..etc.) so i'm not complaining about a low minimum wage.. but i do agree that the work force in general is underpaid... grossly underpaid by managers that get millions of dollars as a parting gift.. even if they ran it in to the ground cough(yahoo) enough of my rant :D
Nice Information thanks ^^ now i'm thinking to go there LOL
Never worked at a part time job and currently got no plans for it. I'm in some really weird program at the moment through the employment service and I would love to work at a part time rather than doing this crap, though I get about 500€ each month for doing nothing, so I'm not poor. But I'm not rich either. The cash goes to merchandise anyway. (b・∀・)b
Most of my work has been in my college's library. An... interesting job, but not recommended to those without a fine appreciation of utter futility. Pay was minimum wage, which was actually pretty high in Oregon, and after about two years of slav... erm, service, my wage was up to a whopping US$8.00 per hour (something like a 10 cent increase per semester).
In my first job years ago I got 8€/hour. That 850 yen really doesn't sound much. Luckily Japanese don't have to pay 12€ in order to buy one manga.
I used to have 2 part timers to fund my uni fees in the UK. The first was for my dads icecream company and the second for blockbuster video rentals. Both were minimal wage (around £5ph). Living in London is expensive though as my rent was 100pw alone, and i lived in the ghetto.
Hmmm... part-time wages in Singapore are alright I guess, considering that our cost of living is lower. We get about an average of $6/hour (for non-degree/diploma holders) or about $600-800 a month depending on your luck. X3 I guess that translates to about 400yen/hour?
the most common wages per hour would be $5 for part-time jobs (usually for jobs like sales assistants, receptionists etc)
I think it depends on the employer, whether or not they stick to standard schedules for wages. Some don't and some do. Depends also whether or not you are important or not. My current job pays me about $38AUD/hr an hour. Which is not heaps but is not too bad. It is raised to $50AUD/hr on Sunday. Obviously I work Sundays :D So I think my employer is playing slighty above standard.
£3.00 an Hour about a year ago, now. Very depressing when I spent it all on small stuff.
Nope, never had a part time job.
Well since 850 yen is £4.15 round abouts, its not that much different than what Mcdonalds pays under 18's in the UK. I only got £4.25 when I started. I only got a raise to the over 18's rate in december and it wasnt much more. I'm still on minimum. Which is £4.65 an hour. 1000 yen doesnt seem like much more frankly. (£4.89)
yup yup i work part-time @ a medical supply store, can't complain though i'm getting paid 8bucks hourly
I've had some pretty fun jobs and some not so fun jobs. The worse job was as a graphic designer for a startup classifieds paper. The owner's since of time wasn't based in reality. He liked to hand us full page color ads for car dealerships with a half hour before the paper was due to be signed off and sent to the printers. It was so much fun! </sarcasm> The paper folded in four months.
Never actually held any part time jobs except giving tuitions. But giving tuition got me quite good money and it wasn't tough since it didn't involve manual labour.
850 yen starting pay for McDonalds in Japan...surely much more than what they're offering here which is about 4.50SGD (about 320 Yen)? But seriously, which company wouldn't love to exploit their workers and gain more profit for themselves?
i did have a part time job during holidays... worked as a waiter at a small 24hour restaurant... insanely low 7hours working time for MYR16 (about 500yen) average hourly wage: MYR2.30 (70yen) MYR2.30 (70yen) perhour...and the job is killing me.. wanted to try out other jobs. but the hourly wage at me region for part-timers just around MYR1 - MYR6 (30yen-180yen)
lets see, i've had a few part time jobs 1) working at McDs, i think back then the minimum wage was 7.50 CAD, its been raised to 8 dollars now 2) working at Walmart as cashier, was paid 9.30 before i left 3) working at Air Canada information offices, paid 12.50 4) working at Tim Hortons, paid 8.50 5) working at MedLab as lab technician for co-op, paid 18.50 well, as you can see, i've worked multiple jobs in between my university studies. i'm pretty self-reliant. also had a paper route when i was just a bit wee lad, and i remember using my first pay cheque to buy a gameboy game.
I can't work part time anymore since i got a lot of responsibilities now a days. But i've had 2 part times jobs in the past. Daily hours as low as 4 hours a day, and at the time in the state of California, the minimum wage was $6.75 Now i make $12.00/hr and i get a monthly salary aside of my payroll. And i work at least 40 hours a week now compared to my part time jobs in the past.
I used to work at Sainsbury's for my 3 years, the pay was about £5/6 per hour. Thankfully I got a full time job for a year for my placement year at uni. The pay was £17,000. So thankfully I don't have to work for my final year. But I need a job during the summer to pay for my masters degree and for my trip back to Japan in september ^__^!
My first part time job was a library page. Got about $9 USD ( around 900 YEN) / hour, which wasn't too bad when I was 15.5 years old! Very easy going job, spent a lot of time reading Garfield, borrowing PC/Playstation games (yes, my library had PC/Playstation games that you can borrow for free), and surfing the net.
My first real part-time job was working at a paint factory, pouring paint and labeling paint cans. I worked there for about 4-6 weeks for 3 summer holidays. The work itself was tedious and boring, pretty much similar to any process / factory job I guess. Most toughest things were sometimes the fumes and washing the large tanks that they mix the paint and chemicals in. Pay was ridiculously fantastic particularly for a 18-19 year old at the time like I was, started from $18 AUD and went up to $20 AUD / hr during the last summer I worked there! Pretty much paid for my uni fees for the first 2 years and saved some away to buy my first car.
I've only had one measly job for like 2 weeks when I was 16. Stacking books for €2/hr and being electrocuted by the metal trolleys we used (they built up static rollin around T_T). It was really boring and after that I haven't worked again. I guess I'm spoiled, but living at home as I do, the study finance and my allowance pretty much cover everything. Although since I found DC, I've been ithcing to go to Japan and buy more schtuff, which this allowance simply does NOT cover, so maybe now's a good time to get a job. Maybe these holidays.
worked at mickey D's as my first job for exactly a year. left at 7.50/hr. Reading through the responses did anyone else work a tip job? I worked for Red Robin for 3 years and even though my hourly was 8/hr with tips as a food runner/expo it bumped itself up to 12-15/hr depending on the day. quite a lot for a high school student. As a server in college it was easily 20/hr. So to all young people- GET A TIP JOB!
DANG here in Oregon the minimum wage is 7.50
When I was in High School, I worked part-time at a retirement home for $4.25/hour. I remember how great I thought it was that I didn't have to work fast food. One summer, I was a temp at a cemetery for $8.50/hour. Talk about a depressing job.
I spent a long time in a retail job (w/the worthless Teamsters Union). My job screwed me from ever having the right hours to attend school while working (but the money was OK) . So after many years of saving I quit and went to a small private school then one year into it I worked PT and a Home Depot to help pay 1/2 my loans. Been lucky and unlucky after I graduated. Every job I've had since, I was able to get at least 10k more per year than the previous job. But also back in 2001 I was laid off work (software co.) and had to look for a very long time to find another job. Lot's of pressure from every one around me to just take what ever job, but I'm thick headed I guess... just want to be a designer. That's what I paid all that money for school and refused to do anything else. Three things to remember... 1. Never accept a union job! (why pay some else for a back bone. Use your own) :) 2. Salaries are always negotiable. 3. Believe in yourself.
I wouldnt really say my first job was part time..well it was but it was to help the family out with the store. It was a small and measly dry cleaners in the middle of nowhere Michigan and I got paid about 40 dollars just working 38 hrs a week. Thats almost a dollar an hour... T_T Well in the end it was a good experience for me, thats when I realized how hard it was to make an honest buck...and how hard it was to operate steamed machinery -_-;;
A self-employed social recluse. Oh wait, that counts as a full-time job. My bad.
I'm a part-time piano teacher working at home. ^^; I make 30$ an hour and fire my students when there's too much stuff on my schedule.. a nice job for a high school kid i guess.
Hey my first part-time was at Mc Dee's. The min wage at that time was 6.25$ back then. It was actually hard working there. I worked there for 2 months before I quited.
Arubaito *mumbles and tries to memorize* I did some part time work as graphic designer for a friend's start up company, unfortunately I think big chunk of my pay went to commuting to and fro from the office (oops) and I was offered a full time job after working there for a little bit (double oops)! When I was schooling for diploma in design back in SG, I had a brief internship at one of my mom's old friend's design company before too and picked up some photoshop related skills from there ^^ that one, I think there was no pay LOL (or it was not a lot, as usual) but experience is priceless no? :) I think the draw back of part-timing is usually the pay is so so or below average, unless the client really want/is willing to pay for your skills ^^;
WOW 8.50USD you would be lucky to get 6.00 were i live. I work at a retail store and cant even get that. Lucky Japs.
Interesting. I wish I could get $10/hour at my part time in Best Buy, but I just get crap instead.
My first, and only, part-time job was doing tech support for my university's student newspaper. I got $10 an hour, but I worked so little that it was nothing more than pocket change. Definitely nothing to fly to Japan with and spend on a wild binge in Akiba...
Yikes, $8.5/hour. That is so low that I would never consider it. It is pretty much what I earned when I worked a summer when I was 15-16 lol. Most of my jobs I've had during summer when I was a student has been ~$15/h. My last job, which was part time, I could earn ~$30/h. I often said no to work though, even though it was very easy and relaxed work. I quit after two months since I wanted to go fulltime NEET. And here I am, still a happy NEET. ^_^
I started at McD's a year and a half ago for $6.75/hr. I now get $8/hr not from of a raise but because the minimum went up. most of my wages are spent on figures and external hard drives. Once I graduate, I'll be able to spend 3 times as much on my anime/compute addiction without having to worry about other expenses.
Back when I was in school, I worked at the local supermarket. That got me ~7.50Euro (~11.50 USD) per hour. The average for Germany is about 6.- Euro (~9.50 USD). Today I work as a student assistant with a wage of ~8.50 Euro (~13 USD) per hour. The bad thing about it is that you work overtime without getting paid for it. But it's much more fun when you can put into practice the things you learn in lectures ^_^ The first time I heard "arubaito" I thought I misheard it. I think it's funny how there are so many English words in the Japanese language, but then there is this exception. Are there other Japanese words inherited from German or other non-English European languages?
850 Yen thats about $8.5 usd/Hour, and about £4.16/Hour which isn't that bad in the UK. The minimum wage is £3.40/Hr for 16-17. It's £4.60/Hr for 18-21. And £5.52/hr for 22+. So if your 22 or over its about 1126 Yen/Hour as a minimum wage, and $11.20 usd/Hour as a minimum wage. So the japanese McDonalds wage isn't that bad...
Yes I have had a part time job at an amusement park. I don't feel bad for all the people complaining about $10.00USD being too little, I would JUMP at the chance to make $7.50 to $8.00 an hour! When I began working I earned $5.65 an hour and the next year it went up to around $6
