Share the Worst Job You've Ever Had

My worst job is when I worked at an oil refining company.

What Made This Job Your Worst Job - Ever

At the begining of the week I waked up early in the morning at 5 am, and got on the company bus. After 4 hours of traveling we arrived to the company. We stayed there where located in a desert, at a temporary dormitory without good conditions and facilities. At the end of the week we went back to home. We spent 5 days of a week at a desert without good conditions, we should have spent a long time between roads to work and we shouldn't have repeated this boring cycle every week.

Tips and Tricks

  • If a job has difficult conditions, I should consider exactly what I will gain and what I will lose from this and whether this difficult job has good facilities or not.
