how's the pay at the passport office if you dont mind me asking? (feel free to pm back). I tried looking for it but they weren't hiring. Guess you need to have hook-ups :alone:

you sign the papers that they give you...and get your parents consent signed on it aswell.....:whistle:

hey which warehouse you working at?

I applied?

LDDSC

gah in need of a second job asssssssap

pne
science world
currently: sportchek

The minimum wage is 15 years old, so you are saying they hired you illegally?

i was:
delivery driver for pizza resto
landscaper

now i'm:
wholesale fashion agent

Actually, minimum working age IIRC is 13.
With this you need a legal consent form signed by your parent/guardian allowing you to work at this age.
If not I had a paper route at the age of 9/10)

Myself:

Paper route (9/10-13)
Timmies (16)
Purolator (17)

RemCo (19-20)

Thanks man, means a lot. The whole degree/diploma debate can go on forever, but it really depends on the area of work now..

In my personal opinion (I'll probably get flamed for this), experience>title.
But again, that depends on your area of work. For most trades, that is the case. But the trend is even creeping towards business/finance nowadays.
Some companies make it a "requirement" to have a degree, but that doesn't mean you can't apply. You just gotta dig deeper in your cover letter and/or speak to the manager in person.

:) I'm not that outgoing, actually.. But, if I do say so myself, am very good at negotiating with people for compromises and solutions.

Originally this position was way out my capabilities, but we worked out a deal where we outsource A, B, and C off of my job description, and I take a salary cut of X amount. ..Which I think I still got the better deal :troll:

Friends and family tell me I should be a business person.. but.. I don't know. I hate people. :fullofwin:
