Hello and welcome members!

It's always fascinating to connect with fellow members and learn more about each other's experiences. 

To get started, share a bit about your first-ever job. How did it all start for you?

I'll start: During my second year of university, I landed my first job at the University Career Centre. It turned out to be a valuable three-year experience that paved the way for landing my first job after graduating. 

Now it's your turn! Share your unique first job stories below.

Hi everyone. I started working as a team member in the IT department on a high school.

This is amazing! Seems like you already knew where your heart belongs back then 🙂

Hi there! When I was 16 my father and I founded a small ISP business. I was responsible for pretty much all the business and technical stuff, including installing antennas on roofs (Yay! That part I really miss! :-))

Lovely to be part of the Cisco AppDynamics community!
I started as a software engineer in the IT for the travel industry. I was in charge of the "end of transaction" flow, the one that confirms/modifies/cancels an airline booking. I saw once a booking with 5 lions to transport on a flight as a special request 😄 😄

My first job was as an iOS Developer at an e-commerce firm after my undergrad. My time there was quite eventful as we got acquired by Walmart for a whopping $16 billion during my stint!

Quite an interesting question. 🙂 So, my first job was outside IT.  

It was 1994 (yeah, I am old enough to remember the difference between an Intel 386SX and 386DX), and I was working at the Rome airport for a company that was providing airline security to US-based and Israelian airlines (such as TWA at the time...).
