Swap-shop volunteer

SHRUB: Swap and Reuse Hub Edinburgh

The SHRUB is an awesome cooperative dedicated to promoting reuse, recycling, repairing and upcycling. I helped with early sorting-out of the new shop premises, made some shelves.. spent a few hours per week working in the shop in exchange for swap tokens which which I have procured all manner of exciting things, and helped with the big university halls cleanup last year. I regret that I've only managed to make it in a couple of times in 2015.

Shop assistant

Bon Marché, Boston

My first 'real job'! Perpetually felt like a tent because they only sell plus-size clothes and we had to wear merchandise as our 'uniforms'. Traded favours with friends/my mum to come in and buy the shop magazine so I could meet weekly targets. The most fun thing to do was keep records of lowest-net-income days. The winner was a day when the only transaction I carried out was a refund.

Volunteer shop assistant

British Hearth Foundation, Boston

Started as part of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, and just didn't leave; spent Wednesday and Saturday afternoons selling used stuff, keeping the shop tidy and being sweet to old people. Sometimes I wrote short stories on tissue paper.
