Hey i Finish Highschool June 15, Then I need a full time job paying atleast $10/h..

I'v only had 2 jobs, but both i have worked for atleast a year and a half each..


Anything from Landscaping to a telus job would be fine.. Just no fast food please...


Any Ideas??

Working for the city of calgary would be nice, but i hear it's really hard to get a job with them..

Would also like to work on the Oil rigs...

Landscaping is what I reccomend. I've been doing it for 3 years, and I started at $9. I'm making $13 now.

Do you know of any companies that are hiring?

Go find a surveying job.

Fairly easy to get on. Usually around 12-14/15 to start. If you work out of town they pay food/hotel shit like that, you can always work in town too. Just wont make as much.

It's landscaping man, not rocket science, that seems about right to me. Way back when I was working fast food, 1 year got me a 10 cent raise on top of minimum wage (which at the time was about $4.25) woohoo!

Leave north for a year and come back with a serious jump over most of the people here!

Otherwise, warehouses hire for $12/hr.

work up north and you will make $50k a year AT LEAST. Work for a company that offers room and food and you will keep a lot of that money, don't rent a house ... it is REALLY expensive. there is so much employment up there, you would have no problem getting a job up there.

Call PLH Aviation Services. They fuel the airliners at the airport. I know they are looking for people to work in their utility dept. they start at 10.50 I do believe. the number is 221-1929 ask for Cory. Submit a resume. blah blah blah. pretty easy to get on with and after a while you could move up to fueling and make over 12/hr with lots of raises.

Good luck

Nice, I'm up by COP, but i guess i could drive there every day lol...


Should i tell him anyone told me to call him...

You could tell him that Chris told you about the job, but I don't think he would really care. PLH is pretty easy to get on with as long as you are a hard worker and don't mind putting in the hours. the sched usually works out to be 4/10's with 3 days off, but there is lots of over time to be had as well. PLH is a good place to work. I had lots of fun with some of the people that worked there.

so kobe you like your new job a lot more? I don't think i could've standed working at a superstore or something just doing cashier shit all day I actually like to do something or else the day goes by so fucking slow. Also when you worked at the superstore did you by any chance ever just snap at one of the customers just start yelling at them, personally if some person started complaining to me about the prices I'd tell them where they could go, unless they were bigger than me then id be a pussy haha. Anywho good luck and have fun at your job.

New job is sweet, all we do is play music and work all day, time goes by quick, but its also hard work.. First day i couldn't get out of my car after, was to tired..


Anyways, at superstore there was a few times, once a native guy wanted to fight me, becuase i told him he got the wrong bread.. He blamed it on me, said i'm stupid, and i ruined his shopping experience, so i told him, its not my fault he can't look at a coupon right.. He was pretty pissed

A couple people i just dumped out there grocerys becuase they kept them in the baskets and told me to take it out, thats whats so sweet about superstore, people complain, and you don't get in shit..

Also told a couple people never to come to my till, becuase there just so stubern..


Worst was when i forgot to give some lady 1 penny back, thats right 1 FUCKEN PENNY, she came back 10 minutes later, snapped at me, and told me to give her the money.. I told her straight up, look I didn't understand a penny can break you, so here is 2 :)

I thought she was gunna kill me haha :rofl:

Lots of stories..


Cashier sucks man, don't even apply, they time your breaks and shit aswell..
