My first salary!

Hey you know what? Of course you don't know..., cos I not yet told you what... haha

Ok ok, let's me get to the point! As you have seen the "Title", you might have guess that I have a job, but what kind of job?

Before I tell you what my job is, let's me tell you what my lecturer said. My business statistics lecturer told us it was good to have a part-time job during university years. Why? Because you can gain experience from life, you will know how hard it is to make money so you will not spend it mindlessly on unnecessary things. She said that salary and type of job were not important, what important was experiences. She even suggested us to work in a bar... Lol. Cos she said we can improve our language and learn how to socialise with other people.

My job is a part-time waiter at Place to Eat in John Lewis Shopping Centre. My duty is to clear the table, I am not taking food order, cos at that restaurant is half fast food and half formal restaurant. Sometimes, I work in the kitchen when there is not many customer outside. However, work in the kitchen is easier than outside, cos all I have to do is collect the cleaned plates and organise it. It is not so crowded on week days, but on weekends, OH MY GOD, people just flood in and out from 10am to 3pm.

My salary is weekly basic. It is £5.52 per hour. This week I just work for 11 hours so my salary is £60.72, deducted £1 for tax, so I get £59.72. They not give me cash, but cheque. So I have to go to the bank to withdraw it. I have attach the photo of my cheque, wanna see...Time and Payment record

My personal advices about this job:

1. If you like "Eating", don work as a waiter/waitress

2. You have cannot eat while you working

3. You have to watch people eating while you serve them

4. ...

Sound interesting. You know? The law here is different. As an international student in the US, I cannot work since I came here by F1 visa (student visa). I am not allowed to work outside; I can only work on my campus with the maximum of 20h per weeks. However, I am not working right now. Hmmm...maybe I'll take part soon....Do your best with ur job!
