The casual job spectrum I went through and struggle to keep

1) Door to door knocking job to collect surveys from each house - got kicked out due to not collecting enough surveys in a day in the given amount of time. 

2) Mobile Repairing job - lost it due to not being able to repair mobiles fast enough

3) Door to door knocking sales job - give VEU products for free and will be paid according to the product fitted in the customer's house - left due to non payment. 

4) Casual Waitstaff/bartender at Melbourne Racing Club - barely got any shifts - did a barista training, sent them a certificate and now working a few shifts as a barista there.

5) Did one delivery on a borrowed bicycle as a DoorDasher, broke the bicycle and my legs - in a single day - didn't go there again 

6) Got a chance to do a video regarding Gig Work with a team that shoots videos for advertising, training etc - once in a lifetime opportunity - got paid quite well. 

7) Worked as a babysitter in the hospital overnight shifts - got fired due to eating their food. Was underpaid too. 

8) Worked as a casual cleaner at Cirka cleaning services for a week - was hell - tired af due to lack of doing it properly as soon as possible - clean a room spick and span in 5 minutes - but completed it somehow and got paid. didn't get anything after that. 

9) Working as a dish washer at an indian restaurant - tried kitchen hand and cooking - failed miserable, that's why stuck to washing - severely underpaid and still get criticised for not doing enough. - don't get enough shifts which is a blessing tbh.

10) Working a 12 weeks contract at Swinburne University as an Accessibility Initiatives Officer - still making mistakes and not putting in enough effort - let's see where it goes.
