Wouldn't it be imparfait if you worked continuously in the past continously blowing up balloons for an undetermined period of time, or an unspecified period of time, even though you're not doing that anymore.

If it helps, here's it in context. Ah, quand j'avais quinze ans, "I worked" pour un compagnie, ou "I blew up" des ballons.

Then... Quand "I worked" pour la compagnie, I "blew up" des ballons, naturellement avec mes mains. Et aussi, quand je travaillais pour la compagnie, j'utilisais (is that alright in the imparfait?) que je savais a propos de mes intellignes, et je "blew up" des ballons.

Imparfait because it describes a habituel, repeating action in the past.

Passé composé.

Unless you are writing a sentence describing how you were working and blowing up balloons, in which case it would be the imperfect. The passé composé is used for completed actions. So if you worked and then blew up balloons, that is the correct tense.

i would say passè compose. The sentance would now be, J'ai travaillé et j'ai soufflé des ballons.

Depends how long you did it for.
