Trying to find a winter job...

<p>(<strong>Not sure if this goes here, because the employment one seems to be more towards careers</strong>)</p>

<p>I am having the hardest time finding a job. I have applied to almost 30 places now, possibly more, for a job. Only a few have given me feedback; two said my break isn't long enough, and the rest never got back to me. All the others never contacted me back.</p>

<p>I am still applying, by checking craigslist everyday and applying to any of the jobs that I think I would be remotely qualified for.</p>

<p>I've applied at some big box stores, chain food establishments (Tim Hortons, Dunkin Donuts, etc.), hotels, dealerships for lot people, and local places.</p>

<p>Where are good places to look? I just need to have some income.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>(My break is a total of 6 weeks long including this week, but I'll be gone for 6 days on vacation, which I know diminishes my chances of finding one.)</p>

<p>Check out supermarkets, they sometimes take seasonal work. Whole Foods is a pretty good place to work for, although you’ll probably be saying bye to a few of your nights and weekends.</p>

<p>I’d say retailers, if you can stand the work, need a lot of extra seasonal help around this time of year, with Christmas/New Year’s, and the ensuing post-holiday sales.</p>

<p>I am looking for a job too. This break is going to be wayyyy to long and I need to make cash…</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m starting to get discouraged lol. I feel like no one is interested in me, I’ve been at this for the past two months applying to places.</p>

<p>Thanks DCHurricane, I forgot to apply to the grocery stores. We don’t have Whole Foods here, but I just applied to Tops Supermarkets and even though its hard to get a job at Wegmans, I might just try… I just need money!</p>
