What was your first job? Reviewing the past can bring many surprises, especially if we remember the first tricks or tasks that life took us to. Did you know that beloved actress Irma Maury worked in the business field before playing her acclaimed roles on the small screen? Or that the host and actress Fiorella ‘Amistad’ Rodríguez began her working life in the kitchen and living room of the remembered Costa Verde restaurant? They and other characters tell us her stories.
Actress and secretary
“My first job as such was at the age of 18 in the admission process at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. At that time, everything was done manually; We did the exam statistics and everything inherent to that process,” Maury recalls about his first job. She was a typist and stenographer, then she studied Executive Secretary and Administration: “My career has been in the business field,” she details, and she continued in that line until her retirement at 43 years old. How did she get into acting? “During a vacation, I took a theater course to distract myself and I dedicated myself to acting sporadically. It was a hobby,” she tells us, until she gave herself fully since 1993, giving us unforgettable characters like Doña Nelly in “Al Fondo Hay Sitio” and Olga Gómez in “Mil Oficios.”

Decisions, every day
The case of Fiorella Rodríguez is just as curious. Unintentionally, she made a decision that changed her life and her projects. While studying Psychology, her sister asked him to replace her for fifteen days at her job at the now-defunct Costa Verde restaurant. Without thinking much, she accepted, and those few days turned into five years: “I started in the kitchen, peeling chili peppers and vegetables. Afterwards, I worked as a waitress and then I ran the lounge. There I met all the people who, in some way, helped me be where I am.” This is how she met Jessica Newton, characters related to television, and Aristóteles Picho, an actor who invited her to the casting of the novel “The Ones and the Others,” where she began her artistic career in television and, consequently, film, modeling. and the theater. For Rodríguez, that first job was decisive in her life.
Being part of the staff at the Costa Verde restaurant for 5 years changed the life of actress Fiorella Rodríguez.
For the actor and television host, Cristian Rivero, on the other hand, his first job – and first dismissal – was on television, when he participated in the group ‘los dicolines’ of the children’s program Nubeluz: “We played with the guest artists a kind of charades or riddles. I was 12 or 13 years old, but because I was very tall they took me out. I lasted two weeks,” the artist tells us. About two years later, Rivero became part of Gólmodis’ group within the same program.
Cristian Rivero’s first job was in Nubeluz, but not as Gólmodi, but as part of the dicolines.
The one who started in music and continues to develop in that field is the tiktoker Roberto Herrera, known on networks as Beik. “From a very young age I sang everywhere you can imagine: festivals, serenades, quinceañeros, baptisms, chocolate parties, anniversaries of human births, everywhere,” he says. At the age of 8, in his native port of San Juan de Marcona, south of Ica, he was already being paid for this work for what he considers “his first job.”

A thousand jobs
For whom life also brought many surprises is the fashion designer Yirko Sivirich, who arrived in Lima from Ica, distributed resumes and found his first job as a packer in the Santa Isabel supermarket at the age of 18.
Before finding his vocation between fabrics and design, Sivirich spent a few months at the cashier’s side filling customers’ bags and putting them in shopping carts: “I have been a waiter, I have sold telephones door to door; Since I was young, I had to cover my expenses for food, tickets, and room. I had to work no matter what. I have had about 15 jobs and I have always enjoyed them all.” When he entered designer Ermenegildo Zegna’s store as a salesman, he realized that fashion was his destiny.

Successful changes
Sales, before cooking, was the area where chef Ignacio Barrios began to work. “I started as an intern in a transnational company, in the sales area, optimizing the distribution channels of warehouses and market stalls. I became a salesman and spent a year in La Parada and in the wholesale markets of Cusco, Puno and Juliaca, those were my areas,” he remembers of the job in which he worked for four years. The experience and dynamics in sales continued in his future projects, now the chef stands out for businesses such as Urban Kitchen with 10 years in the market.

The chef and creator of the Miss Cupcakes brand, Paloma Casanave, was inspired by her first job to create the name of her company, since in her beginnings she was Miss Paloma, an elementary school teacher. “I studied Law, but I realized that it was not my thing and I changed to Psychology.
Before being Miss Cupcakes, Paloma Casanave was Miss Paloma in an Early Childhood Education school.
Thus, I entered the psychopedagogical area of a nest to practice. There I realized that I loved learning by playing like children do and like I, who have ADHD, do. So, I changed to Initial Education to have more tools, that was my first formal job. I enjoyed it very much”. In parallel, Casanave started his cupcake business and it grew until he dedicated himself completely to baking. //
