Hi! I'm looking to buy a bike for the summer to get a bit of exercise in, plus I love biking in general! I know I can go on marketplace, and I have trust me, I've even met up with 2-3 people. Idk if its just my luck but when I go and see the bike, I immediately notice some faults that weren't mentioned in the listing and so on. My budget is a bit tight, sitting at around $75 max. If anyone knows of any good bike stores that are affordable, especially used bikes, that would be awesome!

for reference, im around 5'2 so I don't need a super big bike either!

edit: I'm noticing that $75 is apparently not a decent budget, what would you guys recommend as a budget for a bike? I'm a highschool student w no job (love our job market! :/) so i'd probably be saving up in the summer ig

Does anyone know where to get the online textbook/download it:

Renfrew, C. P. Bahn, E. DeMarrias. 2024. Archaeology Essentials: Theories, Methods, and Practice. 5th edition. Thames & Hudson, London.

thats the textbook. I'm pretty sure this same textbook was used for the spring sem as well

Thanks!!

edit: for anyone that took this course online, if yall didnt get the 5th ed, does the 4th edition do the job? I keep finding the 4th ed online but not the newest one.

this is unlikely to gain traction from the right person but I might as well try. I just got a job interview at JD sports for a simple sales associate position, its a group interview with up to 8 people per group. I'm not sure if this style of interview was used for all jd sports hires in Canada but im willing to shoot my shot to ask questions about how the interview process is. I couldn't find much information online unfortunately, and pieces that I did find revolved around the job scene in the UK which I don't know if it's going to be accurate to the system here.

as we all know, the job market is terrible in vancouver even for opening retail positions such as this, I really need this job due to financial stress and I'm a university student who wasn't eligible for student loans so I need to make payments.

If you work at JD sports and are willing to discuss how the interview went pls comment or dm me! I'd appreciate it so much!!

Just as the title says, i'm a highschool student, but not for much longer as i'm graduating this june!! I've applied to approximately 150 - 200 jobs in the past year or so, mostly part time positions in both retail and food services and i'm unable to even snag an interview!

I know the current job market in vancouver is competitive, even for minimum wage positions, but i'm wondering if there are any tips people can give. I've tried networking on linkedin but most talent managers don't respond or just let me know that i'll be kept in their pool of potential applicants if a role opens up. This is probably so inappropriate of me but if anyone is willing to refer me or give me some pointers I would appreciate it so much! I'm trying to start saving up for university, though i'll be taking student loans. Thanks!

edit: I know many places that post their job applications on job boards like indeed/linkedin can use ai that goes through resumes, but i've made my resume as professional and legible as possible and I have gotten a few emails back so I know it can't be my resume, but by the time it comes to an interview stage i've usually not gotten a call back, one time I did for whole foods but the manager said their schedule was currently full for an interview and then a week later I got an email saying they have filled the position :/
