what area are you lookin for work in?
thrifty foods at the shelbourne/mckenzie location has just finished off all their postings for the department managers positions so will likely start hiring staff before too long, thrifty's has been good to me about accomodating my schedule (i've got 5 weekends in a row off for trips, along with my student schedule messing up alot of weekday shifts)

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'll be looking for work in the Victoria area. I've been doing grocery work for the last few years so i'm kind of looking for other types of jobs but i'll definitely look into this as an option, thanks.

Thought I'd post up again, since we're hiring...again :P

Loss Prevention / Uniform Security

Must have clean-ish Criminal Record, as you must apply for a security license. BST 1 and 2 would be nice, but my company will train you and set you up for it. Basically, we "shop" in stores, plainclothes, and arrest people who steal. We do grocery stores, clothing stores, you name it.

If you are interested, email
tony@fbig.ca
with a resume.

Hours are very flexible, we make ~$11/hr, give or take, neg. No commission on arrests, or quotas.

Rob as in Rob A.?

if so then he can get you a job. But Rob, good luck recruiting people to work there, unless since Foulis left the store has improved.

I'll post here too, my current bio:

currently I work semi-full time at an internet firm, contracting out www.driving.ca, I am the used car rep for the island, it's only.. 3 days a week. I am looking for something part time to fill those 4 days where I don't work (Friday-Tuesday) and then I would be looking for something after i finish work in the early afternoon. Also looking for night-time work and I can work weekends.

mainly looking for a car dealership to wash some cars at, or else I would like something that would keep me occupied with hands on work. My job is a lot of sitting and computer work, so I have a lot of unspent energy, about a years worth, to make up at a new job.

I'm also looking for a night time job at a restuarant in or around the downtown core, I have 8 months serving experience at a small 30 table establishment. I also would like weekend work, right now I'm not in school so I have a lot of spare time over the weekend and I usually just end up spending money as a past-time

Hertz Rental Car at the Victoria Airport needs a full-time Vehicle Service Attendant. I believe starting is now $12/hr. We'll be moving to the new service center soon, which is actually at the terminal, so does eliminate some of the driving but is a brand new facility. The job is basically washing cars, moving them around, ocassionally taking them in for service... stuff.

[la.reina]

^That could be a decent job for me since I live on McTavish lol. Any other requirements other than a DL?

[ness_71]

Just a class 5, relatively clean abstract. No experience req. Managers name is Wendy. Shift will be either 7:00-3:30, 10:00-6:30, 12-8:30... with the possible ocassional 8:00-4:30. And you will most likely have to work weekends, but you do get 2 days in a row off and the schedule is usually consistent. They are looking like right now cause someone just quit with 3 days notice and their last day was Friday. Um, ya.. I did this for 3 months last summer, left for school, this summer I came back for this job but I'm actually doing this and filling in at the counter, so if you wanna know anything else just ask.
