“Man, everything costs money, doesn’t it?”
“Seems like it. Too much money.”
“Maybe we should get jobs.”
“Yeah, but where? Nowhere is hiring.”
Nowhere is hiring because people tend not to look that hard; businesses don’t need to have a “Now Hiring” sign hung up in their window to be on the lookout for new employees. Job searching can be difficult, but don’t let it be that way.
Here are four places in Ottawa looking to hire new employees that are willing to work around college schedules.

Club Car Wash, 2230 S Princeton St.
Club Car Wash is located on the corner of S Princeton St. and 23rd St. This is a fast-paced work environment looking to hire new employees, especially preps. Pay is $12 an hour.
