Talking about jobs


Sarah: So, Adam, how old were you when you got your first job?
Adam: I was 16 but actually my dad to get me to work at Baskin & Robbins when I was 15. And the manager wouldn’t me because I was under in the States.
Adam: How old you when you first started working?
Sarah: I started working when . I’m from North Carolina in the States. And there, you are able to work at the age of 14. So I worked a DJ. My father owns a radio station, so I a DJ at age 14.
Adam: That’s amazing. What sort of things about as a DJ?
Sarah: It was mainly a programming station, an AM radio station. So talk much. It was mainly just operating the board. And a few commercials, and weather and things like that I would have to talk. But mostly, it was just pressing buttons.
Adam: Did you play any music?
Sarah: Yeah. Some music, depending on the time of day.
Adam: Could you play what you wanted or to follow a script?
Sarah: No, a format pretty much, so. So what’s been or exciting job you’ve ever had?
Adam: I at an airport fueling airplanes when I was in college. And I a fuel truck around the tarmac and airplanes, big commercial airplanes like 747s and also small private prop planes just with two passengers. That was a really interesting, interesting job.
Sarah: It sounds kind of slightly dangerous or maybe a lot of responsibility. Was it?
Adam: Yeah. If you – because you’re driving this large truck around very, very expensive planes, so a lot of responsibility. It wasn’t so much dangerous, I don’t think. But yeah, it was definitely – if you made an error or had an accident, it would be a big accident.
It was – the were not very good. I wake up at 4:00 in the morning go to the airport at 5:00. And when I home I would smell just of gasoline. But it was quite an interesting and kind of job.
Sarah: Nice.

Adam: Yeah. ? What’s ?
Sarah: Most interesting, I guess, for me was by a car company one time to go and do like test drive demonstrations on like different cities around the US. And I had to, like, ride around with people doing the test drive and tell them about the vehicles, which was interesting because I really know nothing about cars. So, I had to memorize a lot of information. But getting to go to different cities in the US every weekend.
Adam: Wow, cool. What car company did you do this for?
Sarah: I did that for Kia but for Hummer, and Ferrari and BMW.
Adam: Wow. That’s amazing. those separate contracts for Ferrari, Hummer and BMW?
Sarah: Yeah. For those, I didn’t do test drives. I was, what's called a promotional model or a brand ambassador. So the companies local people when they're an event in a certain area. And most of the time, you’re just getting people to fill out surveys or do some kind of prize drawing. But in the case of Kia, it was actually doing test drives.
Adam: any free merchandise or vehicles from any of these?
Sarah: I wish I got a free vehicle, but no, just the t-shirt or whatever outfit you for the promotion.
Adam: Yeah, that’s sounds really interesting. I love cars, so I’d love to do something like that. getting to go to different cities in the US every weekend.
