Lookin for some weeknight work, just to do on the side as I work during the day, bank hours. Need some more money for car plans. Cannot be fast food or anything like that, would never stoop to that point, I'm not that hard off, just something to make a few hun a month to pay my bills and that way my main paycheque just sits in the bank.

Dont wanna work weekends if I dont have to, maybe 3 nights a week, 5-10 type stuff. If anyone hears of anything lemmie know. I have good people skills, good phone persona and such, and would prefer if its south of say Chinook center.

I don't think you'd be interested in gas station type jobs. How about delivering grub? Pizza drivers are always in demand and they pay well too. You could probably easily exceed $1000 by doing that. I know of a certain someone who works less hours and makes that amount :D :rofl:

And the earnings are no BS either because they were documented for one year and even the slowest month netted $700-800. All this for less than 15 hours of work a week!!!!

Most places also pay cash so I honestly think this is your best bet, just helping you out.

Cheers!

Domino's Pizza was hiring for pizza delivery, the one on 17th ave right next to Western. I think its was $14/hour or $15/hour starting, this was about almost a month ago. Still great pay, Sorry I don't remember if it was 14 or 15.

Sport Chek. The comission you make over the winter can be killer. I remember this girl I worked with, part timer cause she was still in school. During the christmas season, one day she raked in something like $60/hr. Worked like 5 hours and made $300 in commission. That's pretty rare, but if you're decent, you'd be looking at $15-$20/hr. AND you get pro deals on top of that. That and the discount made it all worth while.

If you know anything about skis you'll make a good amount. Before christmas and boxing day are awesome too. Even if you just work for nov/december you'll make a lot of cash. Unfortunately they've already ran their training sessions for the ski season but they'd probably still hire you up cause I know a lot of locations are desperate.

Actually I used to ski for Nordica and am a Licenced Ski Tech. Willing to bet I know more about skis and boards than most of their sales force :P Sport Chek is a joke for knowledgeable sales people.

I walked in and asked them if they had any left handed badminton rackets and racket ball nets. Buddy ran all over the store, and asked his manager who in turn called 3 locations.

Sorry Sir, we seem to be all out.

I did the same a week later except looking for Left handed Lacrosse gear.

Indeed, but it's about selling it, not about whether you know what it is. And trust me, the majority of the customers there know less than the staff. People really need to do their homework first.

I also neglected to mention I did 4 years of face to face selling and 2 years of cold calling with large sucess.

Ben you won't be able to get the hours you want at Co-Op.. as a casual worker you have to be available anytime on weekends and usually at least 1-2 shifts a week during the day.. after their agreement the whole deal with casual workers got revamped.. since you used to be able to work just weekends when you were a casual worker.

Have you tried the post office or parcel delivery companies? Christmas season's coming up and I was told by someone you make some crazy ass cash around this time of year. Plus you have your own firearm already, so you're ahead of the game! :rofl:

you make alright pay at the postal office, i have a couple of friends that work for canada post. to have your own firearm you'll probably have to do your FAC and all that crap, no way in hell they'll just give you a firearm :D

Coffee Shop.....tips and they usually start at 7 and starbucks starts at 8. Plus your buddy chris could get you a lead into the coffee industrie. And they give those kind of hours that you are looking for.

Chris (VWbloke) hasnt worked at starbucks for a long time. Starbucks is sweet just as long as you dont get a busy location.

i quit about 5 months ago though
it's not as easy as before, it's national/alamo now
so everyone works in the national building

that means no more sleeping 6 hrs a day there

it's incredible.. I haven't gotten stupid questions like that.. The worst is the ones that don't understand the process, and it pisses alot of them off when they realize it's not such an process to rent a vehicle.. when I worked, we had to take a 300 bucks authorization freeze that lasted a week, you wouldn't believe how many disgruntled people I saw just because of that. So glad i'm out of the customer service industry.
