... Either is fine...
One word, as per my device's autocorrect.
The dutch would say firtshandjob.. because that'sthewaytheyroll
Either. It's still a job!
hyphen and comma
Student gets first hand-job experience
Student gets first hand-job, experience
Wait. That comma changes things, a lot.
We're not talking about student benefits...
Work-study job requirements sure have changed, in my day nobody I couldn't quantify the dorm bro tugs as CV experience, what a wonderful time to be alive.
In that example, it should have been first-hand or firsthand. When multiple words are used together as an adjective, in this case an adjective-noun pair, those two should become hyphenated. I just wrote another example -- it's 'adjective-noun' because the two words are used as an adjective for pair, even though they would not ordinarily be hyphenated.
For the same reason, asking "is it 'first hand' or 'first-hand'" would be meaningless, because it depends on the context, unless a stylistic choice is made to write 'firsthand' instead
That's a Hugh Jass car.
Mike Hunt learned a valuable lesson that day.
Fun fact, there was an actual Michael Hundt who wrote fencing manuals right near the end of the medieval period into the Renaissance.
Surely he studied a lot of defensive strategies during which numerous strangers were thrusting at Mike Hundt.
It's the only job opportunity the clankers haven't taken from us yet.
That's actually one of the first things they took from us. Auto strokers that sync to specific videos exist, and if you throw vr into the mix you basically end up like that guy Jordan peterson posted about.
Was it from uncle Jack and his horse?
You helped him off, didn't you?
I remember my first handjob mentoring day. They sent out a blast email for all the students to bring their own lube and I remember Jackie brought in a quart of Valvoline motor oil. 🤣
Name: John Doe Age: 36 Sex: No experience, sir
registers for school that does mentoring
Oxford commas, people.
Also hyphens will work.
I love Oxford commas, but I don't see how that'd help with the students' first, hand-job experience.
Students get first, hand, job, and experience.
