    but you'd make so many male customers happy.

    are you looking for manual labour style, clerical, sales?

    Working on campus is pretty convenient...see if anyone at Cornerstone is hiring?

    Are you joking about the class 5 with airbrakes? Is there any vehicles you are qualified to drive that even have air brakes? Not breaking your balls, just wondering because delivery drivers make at least 15 an hour

    i got them to drive a recycling truck last summer
    money was sweet, but I was training a new driver and I flew off the truck cuz he was an idiot and fractured my wrist so I was sitting at home all summer, getting paid though, haha.

    yeah, for some reason he randomly slammed on the brakes from going 50 to 0, and I didn't expect it. The door is open on the ride side to jump out and grab the recycling stuff.
    Flew out, was about a foot away from running over my head, lol
    fractured wrist, knee was gashed opened, huge bump on my head and blood, elbow gashed open, shoulder bruised...
    wasn't fun, haha

    You're probably too late for this, but in month 3/4 of the semester most of the jobs go up at: http://www.sfu.ca/hr/jobpostings.html

    Look for Temporary ones, part-time (those are the student ones, like the computer lab, bookstore, library, etc.)

    After each posting, why is there a Grade?
    like "MANAGER, FACULTY OF ARTS, CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION, GRADE 11 - Competition #549 "

    Grades refer to relative pay scale and skills/experience required.

    APSA positions are more of the career type (after university), and CUPE are clerical/student type positions. I think there're only a couple of part-time ones left, since they already posted the library, bookstore, and computer lab positions.

    For CUPE positions, I can do up to grade 5.

    I've done grade six jobs...I think the criteria for the grade establishments are pretty up in the air

    The thing about student positions is that they usually stay for future semesters since they get priority, so you'll have to wait for a break till someone graduates or goes on co-op.

    There isnt anything on craigslist at all....the odd one here or there, but nothing really good.

    And a lot of them pay terribly! Ive been looking for a job for two days a week for the past five months :(

    theres not many two day a week jobs that pay much that are easy to get I dont think...besides bartending, you can make some good money doing that, or club promotions, stuff like that

    Angus One.

    They almost always give me what I want, but you hafta make sure you send in your schedule every week. They're also great when you say you can't work that day if they ask. Very flexible.

    I'm getting paid $14/hr right now, which is sufficient... I guess. lol

    That's what my sister asked, but she's 12 so she's allowed to be stupid =D

    It's a temp agency. Not a steakhouse =P
