What was your first job? My first job was a paper round where I had the 6am daily run. After a few weeks I found a role selling gourmet pretzels in a shopping centre.
What’s been your worst job interview? The worst job interview I had was equally the funniest. After what had been a strong interview, I asked to use the ladies. Sadly, I had technical difficulties with my zip and had to come out holding my skirt together and asked the gentleman interviewing me if he could help. Highly embarrassing.
