How to get into the labour force
 

I`m fresh out of highschool, and I`m looking for a full-time labour job. I`ve been searching jobs as a painter labourer, construction labourer, warehouse labouer, etc. The only thing is that all of them require experience. Do you guys have any tips for me to getting into a laboour jobÉ Especially since I don`t have any experience, I have no idea. Are there any training courses or something that I should get intoÉ

My only relevant experience is working as a stock clerk for Safeway. It seems to me that my lack of experience is all that translates through my resume and cover letter. I will be able to work a labour job because I`m fairly strong, I look like a decent person, and I have decent English.

Thanks in advance guys

Maybe see about the fork life training course at BCIT. It's a few days long and it can't hurt to have on a resume when you want to do warehouse work.

As for construction, wouldn't have been a problem 2 years ago to walk onto a site and ask for a job. Now, you're lucky to have one in that area.

i currently work at a warehouse on mitchell island and they are always hiring, however 75 percent of the people we just hired can't even last 2 days. its a boring, tiring job

LABOUR READY lol

same as me
i need some warehouse job
no experiences

not sure about now but superstore warehouse on main and marine drive is or used to be always hiring. just walk in apply and get interview/hired. i think its like $13.45/hr now, youll get all the experience u need for any warehouse job u apply for in the future.
