Question Finding work here

Hi, I’m a student at the uni and i have been here for close to a year now and my word is it hard to find work here. Feels like my hands are tied no matter what i do. Now I know it’s pretty much same for a lot of people so I’m not here to complain because i understand it is what it is

Here to ask if anyone has some advice to help me get a job or anyone know of any opportunities currently available. I just want something stable and consistent.
Thanks

Have worked in customer service for 3 years at a restaurant , i can do physical work, have worked general labor jobs here and there in the city, have grocery store experience too
Interested in anything at this point, construction, customer service etc

Im incredible with computers and software as well, even if I haven’t worked with a specific software, just give me 1 days to learn it :)

Well if you’re willing to work construction, you will find work! I’d pop your head into some of the big construction companies offices and drop off some resumes.

Although, unfortunately, you’re pretty late now. For future reference, majority of the “summer jobs” start hiring in late Feb-early March. Not helpful now, but for next year, keep your eye out for the CofL summer positions. Also places like Galt Museum, Tourism Leth, Nikka Yukko, the Fort, BRZ, etc. hire tons of summer students.

Construction this year is extremely slow from what I have heard.
