So there is no use applying on internet to any restaurant, cashier, so on. I understood your point. It is not easy, but it is worth trying at first to gain work experience in a quick way.varunnarayan said:

Unless you have experience, There'll be no use applying online. That's what happened to me. You might have a different experience.
I think we want to avoid making this a one way street; Online = bad and door to door = good.
Don't get me wrong I am a big advocate of networking, after all, that is how I got most of my jobs after school and a few ones while in school.
Leave your options open. Try both online and networking (door to door). If anyone works for you, then you take it. Keep in mind that what works for others may not necessarily work for you.
By the way, if you show up to in some places with a resume in hand you could be referred to submit online.
Great conversation guys, really enjoying it.

Some companies do like people to drop off in person....you know to allow manager to see what you're like first. But then again its easier to submit online because you'll fill out forms which you can submit together with your resume.
I totally agree with you. sometimes employers dont give any notice to employees, and then just put a notice on the window. what is the best way you come up with the instant you visit any place door to door?varunnarayan said:
I will use Future shop as an example. I worked as a sales associate. They are fully shut down now in Canada by the way.
I went to the mall and dropped my resume in approximately 30 retail stores. They all accepted it and i did have a word or two with the store manager just to put a face to the application.
However, when i tried the same thing at future shop i was surprised to be referred to apply online. They already had an electronic application format online which was easy to enter all my information for the position i was interested in.
Although I applied online, I still did some followup - phonecall and a quick chat with the hiring manager once i figured out his name.
A few job applied I for while in school took this route but most I would say was through some type of referral or networking.

i broke my leg with timmies. so started working in shell gas station. n then earned some money and started security,. the best job is security guards. if you guys need jobs ping me. i can refer you guys
Sorry about your ordeal at Timmies. Hope you recovered quickly.namratha_s said:
Thanks for the job referral offer. Am sure someone here will need it.
It's not a lot. You have to have a good physique and go through 700$ worth training and other certifications. I tried getting into it until I noticed that it's risky and you're liable for a lot of mistakes that you didn't do.
Am pretty sure, acquiring a security guard license is not $700 worth of training hours. It really boils down to the issuing province but a criminal background check will be needed for sure.

I noticed bank tellers, working at gym have good salaries too. and if you can get on-campus jobs, its nice(its tough to get tho). incase you have co-ops, the you don't have to worry too much about part-times jobs. You can make enough money for your tuitions and some savings as well.
That is very true about coops. I remember some of my classmates who went on 4 - 16 months industry placement. They essentially came back with lots of money from savings + work experience. The downside is coop programs that are longer than 4 months makes it a little tough for the student to settle back into school, but it is totally do-able.
