I hate to say this... But it is natural for you to have a hard time finding a job at this time of the year. Most summer hirings started way back in April =( I know you started applying around late June, but that's still TOO late.

Try to apply online to save more time. Chapters on Robson should be still hiring cause they called me twice few weeks ago. Two of the three full time style specialist at Le Chateau in Pacific Centre suddenly quit just a week ago. Is there a reason why you are not applying for more stream places (as you have mentioned before) ?

Department stores are ALWAYS hiring... Sears, The Bay, London Drugs, Canadian Tire...

PARASUCO Jeans is looking for full time staff also I think.
