All about me and then some

When I was 14 and 15 years old, I was a CIT and a JC at a day camp, the camp which I went to when I was younger.  The camp was called Hillcrest Jewish Center Day Camp.   Some of my duties at this job were helping out with campers; I mainly worked with the 4 and 5 years old.  In addition to this I also helped to serve the campers their lunch.  I got to experience being a waitress.  A few of my co-workers were my friend Robyn who I have known through the day camp, we have been in the same group since we were 4 and my sister Naomi.

When I was a junior in High School, there was a sign on the guidance counselor’s office about a program called Co-op.  I wasn’t sure what it was so I went inside to check it out, it ended up being that you would go to school one week and work the other for the whole school year and was only for seniors.

I worked for the Dept. of YS through my senior year of high school.  At the Dept. of YS, my duties were; typing, filing, filling out forms, making copies, answering phones, and various other duties.    The Co-op program was a great introduction for me about the world of work.

I worked the bookstore rush for about two weeks at the Queens College bookstore at the beginning of the spring ’95 term.  I worked in the afternoon there for a few hours after my classes.  While, I was there I did credit card sales and book vouchers.  I didn’t handle cash at all.

This was the first job that I had for the Queens Library, where I was an hourly rate, meaning that I only work 17 hours a week, plus 5 more if I worked on Sundays.  Some of my duties here were: helping people and signing people onto the computers; filling paper trays, assisting with classes, plus various other duties.

This was the first full-time job that I ever had.  I worked as a Library Assistant at the Cambria Heights Branch in Queens.  In this position I helped out the children’s librarian and helped at the circulation desk.  While at this job, I’ve learned how to: find books, check in and out books, prepare books, and a few other things.  In this position I learned so much about the library. 

This is the position that I currently have.  I work full time in the Cyber Center, helping people to use the computers.  I like this position because I get to meet new people and I’m able to learn new things.
