captainsunshine Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hey all! So the time has come and I need a job. I was wondering if you fine people had any suggestions on where to start the job search. I cannot legally work in Canada yet, so I'm looking for an under-the-table type thing. I've been waitressing since I was 16, and bartending since 20. I also have a bachelor's degree in Communication (Radio/Television/Film production). I'm looking to work in the Burlington/Hamilton area. I'm open to any ideas, full or part time. I'm still not super familiar with the area, so all suggestions or insight would be helpful. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Let me know when you're "legal" and I can try sending you any postings I come across here at the CBC (since yer edukashun wud be an asset) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Now for the fun paperwork and government payments! Liberals prefer paper bags and cash. But their receiving department is in Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahbelle Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 hmm...there are a few places in Hamilton... Pizza Pizza call-in center hires very often. It's at the corner of King and Main (near gage park) I also have a 'job counselor' and she helped me find places to apply. I can give U her contact info if U need it! Check Downtown Burlington/Hamilton cause there is usually something around!!! Oh yeah...U could be self-employed! (good for 'under the table' type work. Maybe make signs and put them up in your niebourhood for house cleaning, gardening, dog walking.. whatever... U could also put adds in newspapers and stuff Good Luck Tara!! ~Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 You might want to try both browsing and posting on Craigslist...Could be a good start..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) Craigslist just started up in Hamilton last year, and frankly sucked pretty bad for the first while (was disheartening at first as I love craiglist, been browsing other cities for years)... its improved a lot though and is actually worth checking out now hmm... just took a look and it looks pretty crappy again, sometimes there's a few cool jobshere's a few local job links to check over morning coffee Hamilton Craigslist Hamilton Craigslist - Jobs Section McMaster University Job BoardHuman Resources Canada Job Board - probably the broadest selection of local jobs onlinegood lucks, am on the search myself... good time of year to be looking and seems to be quite a bit out there to consider Edited May 14, 2007 by Guest yeh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
