Villages Pizza is desperately looking for delivery drivers. It's a pretty easy job and the tips can easily double your hourly wage income. Wages start at $8.00/hr and increase regulairly after that and drivers get to keep all their tips, less 10% for kitchen tip-out, and $1/delivery to pay for gas. Also, you get kitchen experience as a prep chef and doing other miscelaneous kitchen duties. All you need is your own car, a reletivly clean driver's record (right now we're not all that picky), and the drive to join a fun and youthful team and make some easy cash.

If you're looking for a first job, secondary job, or just a good way to make some extra cash during the summer contact Codie (Store Manager) at the Cook, Cloverdale, Quadra Villages at 389-0027 or drop by with a copy of your resume and a driver's abstract.

If it's anything like before, they also pay 50 or 75 cents per delivery for gas.

McLaren Lighting is looking for a Full-Time warehouse person to work as a Receiver/Shipper etc- WILL TRAIN. Needed ASAP.

We are a busy Lighting Showroom that does retail and commercial sales. I am looking for someone who is motivated and organized- warehouse/receiving experience isn't necessary as long as you are willing to help, learn and be part of the team. A positive attitude is a must. It is a fun environment to work in and a great company to work for- but we don't want to be constantly investing time in reminding people they are there to work- be a self starter.

We can receive anywhere from 10-50 pallets of lighting fixtures a week, and need someone who can accurately sort and receive stock shipments, fill customer orders, ship interbranch stock orders to our Nanaimo store and put away stock.

Other duties can include lighting fixture assembly for showroom display, warehouse cleaning/re-organization. You might be required to make deliveries in the company van, so a driver's license is required. A bit of mechanical aptitude is a big benefit. Our warehouse has two floors, so there is a lot of carrying boxes up and down stairs.

The job pays salary with a good benefits package after 3 months. It is a 8:30am-5:00pm shift that includes working Saturdays. We are closed Sundays so you get Sundays and a day during the week off.

Although it is a warehouse position our company is primarily a retail location so shirts are supplied and you are expected to look presentable while working. If you are interested in dropping off a resume, come in looking like you are applying for a job at a retail location- not like you just came from the gym. (Business Casual)- You'd be suprised how many people drop off resumes in ripped shorts, dirty t-shirts and running shoes and a hat. Presentation goes a long way.

The location is 3400 Douglas Street. We are closed Sundays, but are open Monday morning at 8:30am. PLEASE BRING A DRIVER'S ABSTRACT. There is currently an ad in the Times Colonist with instructions to bring it.

We'll be accepting applications all week. Please ask for Warren when you come in. Hope to see some of you!

Hiring: All Canadian Pizza (soon to be Kili's Pizzeria)

For those that don't know, the pizza place is right on the corner of Pandora and Cook, we do by the slice as well as regular take out/delivery. We've got a new menu coming up soon with some really great pizzas and good deals. It's a family business, my parents and I own and operate it.

Ideally we want to have someone who can deliver as well as work behind the counter. It'll be $8/hr plus $0.50/delivery for someone new, $9/hr plus $0.50/delivery for someone with experience. This isn't a dead end, as we do better and you stick with us you'll be paid more. I've been stuck in shitty paying shitty jobs before and I wouldn't ever wish it on anyone, so that's not how it'll be here. Sure you can get a little more per delivery elsewhere, but you'll be delivering a lot farther, and chances are you won't get any raises.

So, a [reliable] car isn't a must, but it's definitely very high on the asset list. Experience is also an asset. Foodsafe is a must, if you don't have it, you'd have to get it. It's an inexpensive, short, and extremely easy course.

This would be evening work, with the possibility of moving to a daytime shift as things get going (we'll be opening as early as 11am on weekdays once our new menu comes out). Weekend availability is also a must. I wouldn't expect anyone to give up every weekend, so we can certainly work something out like working every 2nd weekend, but less than that won't fly.

A great deal of housing surrounds the pizza place, so the majority of the deliveries so far have been to the surrounding area, and we'll soon be distributing several thousand flyers also only to the immediate area, so deliveries will be quick and wear on the car will be minimal (I've actually walked a few of the deliveries because they're so close).

So to sum up, the duties include:
-Serving people at the counter
-Taking orders over the phone
-Making pizza
-Cleaning (pizza trays, floors, etc)
-Delivering pizzas

We're not looking for a workmonkey, everything you'd be doing we already are, and will still be doing, including cleaning and any other unsavoury job that comes along.

If you're interested reply here, find me on msn, aronnimani (at) hotmail.com, or come on by the pizza place anytime in the afternoon/evening and ask for me, Aron. I''ll be there all day every day this week but Wednesday.

[Relyc]

Well that was fast. Position's filled for now.

Wanted: Driver for small Auto Parts store. Perks include working with me, delivering great parts to great places, and a general great place to work.

Bring resume to Chris at Bow Wow Auto parts @ 575 Hillside ave. and apply today!!

PS: Must deliver in own car, but you get paid mileage and the discount on parts is AMAZING!!!

[CRXGeoff]

Pacific Mazda (Victoria) has 2 openings, one for a full time lot attendant and another for a service wash person.

In the wash job you basically wash cars and park them, help out with random things in the shop.

Lot attendant entails merchandising cars; setting them up in lines, displays, moving stock around the lot, picking up new car deliveries from sannich, booking in new cars off the truck. Also detailing sold cars which will be sent out to customers, pumping gas for them .

Both jobs I believe are 9.50 to start. If anyone is interested in these please send me a PM. Clean drivers abstract is preferred. Also if your decent at parking (very little parallel parking, mostly backing vehicles in) thats a big plus.

[V.I.Guy]

Im starting school soon (sept 5th) and i have to quit my fulltime job. I need something for evenings and weekends, i have a stack of resumes ready to go. Anyone know hows hiring. NO pizza delievery though.

[P.NOiZE]

We're desparately looking for someone to fill our full time (9:00AM-5:30PM, Monday to Friday) position at the Dairy Queen in Oak Bay. Previous restaurant experience an asset. We're looking to get you trained before the start of school so get those resume's in as soon as you can.

[ness_71]

I dunno if anyone would be interested, but I'm moving to Kamloops in September and had to quit my job at Hertz at the victoria airport washing cars. A coworker is leaving the same time as me so I guess they'll be looking to fill 2 positions. Um, ya, it's $10/hr to start with benefits and raises after 3 months. It's full time and you have to have your class 5. It's pretty easy and apparently it gets slow in the winter so it should be pretty laid back. Basically you pick up cars from the airport, take em to the service station, wash them, and take them back. Occasionally you get to take trips to vic to the dealers or whatever. It's under cover too so you wont be in the rain in the winter, unless it's really busy maybe. I also think they're looking for a part-time tripper (driver) starts at $10/hr, no benefits, and if you do clean you get $11/hr. Um, I guess anyone interested can pm me with questions. Yup..

[Relyc]

We're hiring at Kili's Pizzeria. We need someone friendly and outgoing to work lunch, which is 11:00AM - 2:30PM. We also need either that same person, or someone else to work 4:00PM - 6:30PM

No driving is necessary (for those of you that don't want a delivery job), since we don't deliver at lunch, but for the 4pm shift having a car for deliveries is an asset. Responsibilities include: Taking orders in person and on the phone, making pizza, pasta, salads, etc. cleaning (mostly dishes, unless you spill something).

Wage is $8/hr ($9/hr with experience) to start, with 50c/delivery if applicable. Review for a raise in a maximum of 3 months.

It's an easy job even when it's busy, and a good working atmosphere. We're all car people there, specifically we're all VW people, gracefallen from RS, to name one, so a car enthusiast will fit in just fine.

Feel free to contact me on the forums or on msn (aronnimani@hotmail.com) if you have any questions, but applicants must come in person to Kili's Pizzeria at 1515 Cook (corner of Cook and Pandora, next to Macs) during working hours after 4PM. If you don't speak to me beforehand, phone ahead to make sure I'm there, 380-4011.

FYI: The new sign is on its way, so above the store still says "All Canadian." There is, however, only the one pizzeria in that plaza.

[crit1caL]

Fairly new Subway just opened up in front of the $$$$$$$$ but it is in the CO-OP plaza place "thingy"...
