def want to try somewhere else!

I worked at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory a couple of years ago from about September to January. I really enjoyed it because I got to make the apples,
truffles, caramel popcorn, brittles, etc. There was some customer service, but most of my time was spent making delicious treats!

I used to work at Rocky Mountain, though not seasonally, and I loved it. So I'd recommend there too.

Rocky Mountain people: did you end up being turned off by the chocolate? It sounds fun, I'm a chocoholic! Maybe if I'm around it enough I'll become
replused by it?

No way, I still loveeee chocolate. But I can't smell it anymore, which is sad. I haven't worked there in like 5 years but to this day I cannot smell
chocolate of any kind. You get desensitized to the smell because it's so overpowering and then I guess it just never came back.

I'm not sure if the one in the Eaton Centre is hiring, but there are two other locations (on in Pearson airport - though I think it opens around 6 am - ack!) and another somewhere... else... that I don't remember. |

there's no way I'm working at the airport. I checked out the site and don't see job opportunities? Am I blind?

They are franchises so you'll have to call up the individual location.

I just applied for at Borders. Have applied there twice before and never heard back but I figured maybe since I'm trying for seasonal work, i'll have
better luck. Eh? We'll see. I've never had a Part Time job before/never worked retail.

I would do retail (even though it's hell during this time of year), but I'm going home for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I know they would want me to
work the day after those holidays, ain't going to happen
