, taking advantage of the remote learning opportunities afforded by her university, moved to Vancouver in the summer, since when she's tried to find some jobs.
And, one particularly ill-starred weekend a few weeks ago she reported that she had not 1 - but 3 jobs lined up.
The first - hostessing at a fine Italian restaurant. Which didn't work out because she described the manager as an ass-hole. Been there, done that, way too often.
So on to the next job - working in a warehouse. I warn her about this - mind-numbing work. But she does the orientation, then, on her first day she discovers just how mind-numbing it is. This, compounded with her supervisor telling her that as she's the only woman working there she can expect to be sexually assaulted, and that these are the people she should contact when it happens. Not "if" - but "When...".
Still one last job to try - a door-to-door soliciting position, commission, fundraising for various charities. And this is the interesting one, she likes it, not because of the job itself - she's well aware it's a scam, but because of the high-pressure sales tactics, and the obvious differences between those who are good at it and those who aren't.
This is the state of the economy...
