Fun

Volunteer - CORE (Former Employee) – Montréal, QC – 12 May 2018

Everyone is so nice, friendly and helpful. It's an environment where anyone can easily adapt and get into since everyone is open minded. When I first joined, I got to know everyone really easily since everyone present has similar goals.

I'm sure many will have various opinions

Instructor (Former Employee) – Montréal, QC – 4 June 2018

I worked at Vanier on hourly contract basis. Compared to full time teachers contractual work is unstable. Hourly rates look good but many unpaid hours are required to complete a contract.

Not recommend

tech (Former Employee) – Montréal, QC – 19 September 2017

Management will crush you down if you show them you are more knowledgeable then them.
Technicians and trades person are working so hard everyday to "feed" the professionals who do nothing rather than "helping" students and college.

If you go to Vanier and are in Communications you should apply

Media Lab Monitor (Former Employee) – Montréal, QC – 19 August 2017

Easy job, laid back bosses. It's a no-brainer to apply there you're paid 15$ an hour for very little work. The only downside is that you'll only be working about 2 hours a week.

Pros

excellent pay, non-demanding job

Cons

Few hours

Viewing my mother tongue from a different perspective

Mandarin Tutor (Current Employee) – Saint-Laurent, QC – 20 July 2017

I was born in China and grew up speaking Chinese. Therefore, Chinese is my mother tongue. The February 2016 would be a great step in my life; I received a job offer as a Mandarin tutor from the Languages & Cultures department at Vanier College. Now, I tutored already Mandarin three semesters and taught four different people. This experience permitted me to examine Mandarin from a different perspective; that of a non-Chinese trying to learn this unique language. I discovered that Mandarin is a very hard language, but nevertheless original and fun. The different nationalities and personalities of my tuttees permitted me to compare mandarin with other languages and to approach Chinese cultures from different angles. In conclusion, being a Mandarin tutor would help me greatly to become a good pedagogue.

Fun and productive.

Volunteering for Robotics Competition (Former Employee) – Montréal, QC – 8 June 2017

It was fun because I working with many volunteers who are also students. The social aspect of it really made it enjoyable. Making sure the place was clean was probably the hardest thing to do, because of the amount of snacks people bring.

I like the volunteer environment at school.

Volunteer Experiences (Former Employee) – Montréal, QC – 13 January 2016

It's a non-profit volunteer work that I did. I was not paid for helping around.

I simply make sure that the people with "down" syndrome do their daily tasks according to expectations. Everyone is nice and friendly, I always go there with a smile on my face, for they are happy to see me as much as I am happy to see them.

I volunteered with other students there, all for free.

I learned to be more visual, for I need to make sure that they do their work properly. I need to be patient because it is not always easy to come to an understanding with people with "down" syndrome, it also happens that you have to ask them to repeat themselves multiple times what they have previously said.

Pros

Very flexible time.

Best job I ever had

Aide de bureau (Former Employee) – Montreal, QC – 19 January 2015

I was a phone representative for the student helpline during registration periods. Every day would start at 8:30am and would entail answering the phone all day answering questions that students would have about registration and helping them learn the Cegep system. Absolutely loved this job, and the people I worked with.

Pros

Fun job

Volunteering for special needs adults

Volunteer For Special Needs (Current Employee) – St. Laurent Quebec – 5 August 2013

Volunteering for special needs adults was a great experience, I was a volunteer that came to see the adults two days a week and my goal was to get to know them, feed them healthy snacks during snack time, get to know them better and have conversations and participate in their daily activities, the most enjoyable part of volunteering was to get to know each and every one of them! They all have different personalities and they are all great people! I love participated in arts and craft, dancing, movies, singing, and even eating with them during lunchtime! All volunteers were phenomenal, they are all loving people who had big hearts and loved to help others!

Pros

Help your social life, certification for volunteering, credit on college diploma, starting new friendships
