Finding a Job

As most of you may know, my scheduled one month vacation turned into a month and a half of vacation, a few days working part time, and a week looking for a job. Having never actually looked for a job, the whole process was quite strange for me. Typically I see a job that I want, find out how people are hired for it, then I go and get it. Up until this point, all the jobs I wanted involved working all summer for the city or the government. This time I wasn't sure where all the jobs for young people were. From what I understood, young people do one of two things. Work in retail or work in the food service industry. Composer not being one of those two options, I had to look around for a little while.

I spent most of my job hunting time wandering around the down town, Osborne and st Boniface areas enjoying the city and the strange things it has to offer. It's amazing how many fast cash advance places we have. There are about 10 in my area alone!

Here is the little list of work places in my area. The only jobs I was actually interested in were Music store, Money Mart, Tache Hall and Server.

Quite a list I know. But it's not like I really applied to more than a few of them. I ended up working part time in construction. I enjoy the sledge hammer the most. It feels good to smash things. After that, I landed a job at Great West Life! So, that's where I work now. I'll be working full time in a cube for the next few months. Life is crazy.
