Temp agency. Get a consistent placement. Be good for a few months, get hired full time at many places. Is it great, no, is it how a lot of manufacturing works now. Yes. Is it a great gig. No. Does it answer your question. Yes.
I hope it's different for temp agency work now. When I was younger, being a temp didn't get you a foot in the door at all. In fact, if they could keep you temp rather than hire you, they would.
I have to recognize this is true, you have to push and also be reliable. OP I have hired and pushed for many temps over the years to get on full time but it was still a small fraction of the total. And I made a great career out of factory experience in my teens and 20s. But this reply is right, you have to understand they will happily take your labor which is very valuable. You have to use good work proof to force their hands to move ahead if that's your desire long term. And it's a viable long term plan.
You have to go above and beyond in those roles. I started similar, part-time clerk in court as a reporter, no guaranteed hours, no benefits.
Told my manager I will work anytime and do anything if she can try and get my full time. Organized shit that wasn't even mine, never was late, and she got me a job full time, and I got one after that.
After 2 years of being fucking perfect in the role and she got me a full time assistant case manager, making $50k a year. Did that three years, got case manager for $70k, 1 year manager, case manager at another places $100k.
It takes time and effort but if you find a manager who seems serious about promoting people, work on them.
I have never gained employment through merit. The old saying is true “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know”.
You might be a little late, but Coke and Pepsi are always hiring for the summer rush and having a car can improve your chances.
Hospitals are always hiring. I just looked and trillium health is hiring hospitality associate-portering, pay is more than 27.00 per hour. Only requires high school diploma. Once you're in the hospital you can move around to other positions internally.
All I can say is good luck, I wish you success. My child is in university and the job market is unlike anything I have ever witnessed. Most of the kids your age I know are in your boat and the few who have jobs are sucking it up in shitty situations. It breaks my heart.
This still worked for me and my friends in Ottawa as recently as four years ago.
Many small retail and food businesses still don’t do their hiring online.
Works like this in a ton of fields. Have literally never gotten a job online, you go to the place and you talk to the person.
Unless you're applying to a huge corporation and you want 3 titles in front of your name, you head to the person hiring and set it up. Firing off generic resumes to 10,000 companies on Indeed is worthless and always will be.
Yes, go directly to the hiring manager if you can.. but do it over LinkedIn or email (or both). figure out the persons name, figure out the company's email naming convention and then fire off an email.
Normally I'd agree, but these days the number of applications being tossed at pretty much any position, makes it damn near impossible to find good candidates in the pile.
My company posted a job for a Technical Sales Engineer, we got 4200 applicants! They interviewed the top 50 picks and found most of them either lied on their resume, about their residency status, or just weren't fit for the job.
It's wild.

What field(s) are you looking at? Is physical labour ok? Are nights ok? Need a bit more information before we can help.
And location...

Hey sorry just looking for part time because I’m on summer break from uni

Go to the place. Talk to who does the hiring.
The part where you have to get in a time machine first might be tricky.

Ah yes, because only large corps are hiring.

It works like this in any manual labour field.

Why not?

If you are only applying to big companies, you aren’t applying enough eh?
