Everybody started somewhere, from the world’s most powerful CEOs to your very own, humble WOBI blogger.

As a celebration to first pay checks everywhere (and all the stumbles and triumphs that come along with it), WOBI is offering you a chance to share your first job experience and win an all-expense paid trip to the World Business Forum in New York (check out the rules to apply here) through our My First Job contest.

It’s easy to apply! All you need to do is submit a picture, video, or text here about your first professional experience, and you’ll automatically be entered to win a trip to the World Business Forum New York, taking place October 2-3, 2012.

My first job was as a lifeguard at my summer swim club, Vienna Woods. What I wouldn’t do now to trade in my office attire for sunglasses, a tan, and a Diet Coke, sitting up on the lifeguard stand with a whistle around my neck.

We would like to start off the conversation with a collection of firsts from your friends here at WOBI. Enjoy!
