Re: Does anyone work in a bank in Canada
Sorry to jump in and ask my own question. Can one get weekend job in one of the Canadian banks? Am currently in the middle of an online MBA and will be thru soon . I will like to get a job but not full time cos I dont want to use day care for my kids.

Re: Does anyone work in a bank in Canada
In theory yes it is possible, although many banks in the sticks don't open Saturdays (although I see you are in Calgary so they probably do there).
Look through each of the banks online job sites - the part time positions will mainly be for customer service but there are some in store vacancies that are part time too.
Throw some cv's out there and if you get responses go from there with the hours that you would like.

Re: Does anyone work in a bank in Canada
Thanks for your reply and I agree that going over in person is better than a faceless cv, however I am reluctant to do that just yet as I am looking for a Branch Manager job in a Bank and I know from experience that the majority if not all banks use recruitment agents and this makes it a little difficult in getting interviews if you are only on a short visit, or I may be totally wrong and going at this the wrong way which this forum is being very helpful in gaining information and tips.
NB Very, very jealous you have managed to do the whole process in 8 months
what kind of job do you do (if you say work in a bank I will die!!!)

Am currently looking at Alberta but second choice would be NS, where did you see that job advertised and any idea if they recruit from overseas?
Thanks for any information.

As for whether they recruit from overseas - I have no idea. I guess it would depend upon what qualifications you would have, as I suspect there are some specific Canadian ones. Have a look at their advert and it may give some clues as to the requires for this type of role at any Canadian based bank

I saw it advertised on one of the job sites. It was probably workopolis or careerbeacon, but it might have beenon the HSBC website - try there first.

Will have a good look through all the job sites, currently using job bank and workopolis not looked at career beacon so will search there.
Thanks for the info.
