I spent the week working at a resident care home for the elderly. It was not too exciting of a week, hence the reason for not posting more often, but it was great to spend some time with the elderly all the same.
It seems as though the majority enjoy being there, comparing [...]

This week I will be working at “La Villa Des Basques,” an old age home in Trois Pistoles, Quebec. I will be helping out around the home and spend time talking and playing cards with the residents. (I will be sure to brush up on my crib playing skills this evening or it [...]

I arrived in Quebec today after a rather long trip from Vancouver beginning at 7pm last night. I had a three hour lay over in Calgary and was able to meet up with a friend for a drink which helped break up the trip. It was difficult getting any sleep on the overnight [...]

I am on a journey to discover the point at which my skills, aptitudes, personality, values, and passions come together to formulate a career in which I would be happy doing; a certain point of congruence. The interesting thing is that with One Week Job, I am in that situation presently… except for maybe [...]

Just heading out for a couple of meetings with some people that I might potentially be working with to turn One Week Job into some form of documentary, tv series, or episodes to be released online week to week. I will let you know what comes of it!

I guess I have been making enough news with One Week Job that Macleans Magazine felt I should be labelled as one of their newsmakers of the week which I thought was pretty cool. The article was published in this past weekends edition.
My best friends wedding on Saturday went well despite the weather [...]

I just spent the last two days working with SustiaNet Software Solutions at a Trade Show in downtown Vancouver. It was a great experience as I got to interact with many different people, learn a lot about selling (thanks Colin!), eat some great trade show food, and be entertained by all the interesting differing [...]

I finished my second day yesterday working with SustaiNet Software Solutions and I think I have quickly come to the conclusion that working in an office job is not quite for me. I think I could do it for a couple days a week but definitely not day in day out. I am [...]

Do you remember Erin who I met while I was working in Alberta a few weeks ago? Well, she sent me a quick email that said:
“Hey Sean! So I quit my job on Monday (finally!!!) at 11:45am and at like 2pm I got a call for an interview for this job I applied [...]

Fresh off a great bachelor party weekend that finally came to an end close to 1:00am last night, I started Week Ten working downtown Vancouver at 8:00am this morning. Ouch! Somehow I managed to get out of bed this morning and made it to work on time, and will definitely be sleeping well tonight!
This [...]

A television crew from ShawTV followed me around on Week Four and I just got it in the mail today. Feels like such a long time ago now because I have done so many other jobs since. Next week I will be working downtown and will be wearing a suit and tie to work… [...]

I found out today that the Gill Deacon show on CBC Television was cancelled due to poor ratings and so I won’t be flown out to Toronto in a couple of weeks to do the show. They were going to have me on the show and film me doing all sorts of various jobs [...]

I had an interview with CBC Radio in Vancouver, BC yesterday which turned out to be quite hilarious. I guess it had been a while since I was back in Vancouver having to drive into the downtown area and so underestimated the time it would take. I was running just over 5 minutes late [...]

After spending the month working in Alberta, I am now back in Vancouver for the month of May. My best friend is getting married in a few weeks so I needed to come back into town.
I had an amazing week at Lake Louise Resort! I was so warmly welcomed by everyone and I [...]
