Finding a good job can be one of the most difficult "jobs" for people. Lets start a mass resource thread for all the unemployed TAs (and employed for that matter) looking a new job.
If you come across news of job fairs, job postings, work links or miscellaneous information please post! The more resources available the better.
Any TAs who do have a job and can help out by posting job oppotunities at their workplace will also be helpful.
-------------------------------
Here's a couple tips:
1. Next thursday there is a job fair at the metro convetion centre. (Wil post more info once i get the flyer)
2. For students here is a tip: The TTC hires students for summer jobs that are easy and pay pretty well. Send an email to Miriam at [email protected] explaining that you are a college/universty student looking for employment.

Well, since this war started, my place isn't hiring AT ALL. Which is weird, cause usually they have a peice of paper posted with even like 1 position that they may need to fill. Once things pick up again, I'm sure the "Job Openings" sheet will appear again and I'll post it on here
By the way, I work at Marriott Hotel right beside Eaton's Centre.

What's the difference between a woman and a walrus?
One of them has whiskers & blubber, and the other one is a walrus.
www.workopolis.com did the trick for some friends of mine as far as jobs are concerned.

well, different full-time and part-time jobs; anything from Front Desk attendant, to housekeeping, to banquets, restaurants or kitchen (either cook, or a person to clean dishes). Contract jobs were there as well.

i can't sign up on workopolis until i get some stupid ID number from my school, and I can't get that until my school picks up the damn phone!
finding a summer job is such a hassle
Im not sure if they've done the hiring or not, but the Metro Toronto Zoo always highers tons of people around this time. Its just a one day mass hiring day where you fill out an application and get interviewed on the spot. I went last year I didn't get the job I wanted because I had no customer service experience and I refused to work at a food place there
But my gf and a friend of mine worked there and they said the money was really good...you get tons of shifts. My gf made something like $3000 - 4000 from working weekends from april - june, then full time july - august.

well, Wonderland is always hiring.
Now, if you haven't worked there - this is a once in a lifetime thing that everyone should do. The work itself pretty much sucks, but the perks are good. Free access, free tix, "free" food no line up for ANY ride. But dear god help you if someone throws up...
and I refused to work at a food place there
