Jobs: A huge number of jobs have opened up in B.C.

On October 24, 2020, British Columbians will elect members of the Legislative Assembly. The province needs election workers to serve this election.

Sure, this job will be short-term, but it has some big perks:

— vacancies are open across the province;

— A large number of people are required — about 25 thousand;

— pay a higher rate (because of COVID-19).

So if you are already in B.C. and want to make a little extra money, this option may well suit you.

There are certain difficulties in this work. The working day for election officials is quite long, starting at 14 hours: it begins at 6:30 a.m. with setting up the polling station and ends with the counting of ballots at around 9:30 p.m. In addition, election officials must be willing to sit or stand for long periods of time.

General experience and skills to be possessed by candidates for the position:
