Pickering News Advertiser

I would have the papers delivered to my house, where I would fold them and then deliver to the customers designated on my route. Responsibility, Reliability, Money Management(as I would have to collect my own money), and Customer Service were things I gathered from working the paper route. I didn't really deal with a manager or co-workers, so I learned self-reliance. the hardest part of the job would have been the weather conditions as that was the only thing that could interfere with the delivery. overall the job was laid back and I generally enjoyed every bit of it.

The Pickering News Advertiser in Durham is great if your young and trying to make a few bucks for your summer fun and wild interests. The News Advertiser is great for young lads (girls&boys) all around the Durham Region and you surprisingly make a good amount of money for yourself as well. So if you don't mind going around, door to door, delivering papers to your new neighborhood customers; Than this is the right job for you!

Working at Pickering News Advertiser gave me the opportunity to learn how to interact with various types of people. It improved my people skills while strengthening my ability to be responsible and work independently. The most enjoyable part of this job was meeting new people but, the hardest part of the job was delivering News Papers to over 50 houses during the harsh winter weather.

Delivering the newspapers within the community was a great experience in getting to know the people that live there, and knowing that you're apart of helping your neighborhood. However, the amount that you get paid for is fluctuated and is determined whether people in the neighborhood are going to pay you or not. So you may not make a substantial salary doing this job.

When your young and need to learn the act of responsibility, delivering the news paper around your own neighborhood is a good start. I liked meeting new people around my area. Getting to know who they are and letting them see you grow as a person is a great experience. Only two days a week and you make a little bit of money that you can start saving.

It was some good cash while going through highschool. But I had to pay out of the money I collected about 25%. So that was a downfall to the job especially when you don't have a lot of money in the first place. But it taught me , customer service skills , money management , time management and hard work.

Work would consist of assembling paper and delivering it throughout several neighborhoods. The management was adequate when it came to concerns of late delivery of papers prior to assembly. The pay was so minimal due to the varying salary from payment from customers. The cost of labor for work was much too low for longterm commitment to the position.

Delivery took place on Wednesday and Thursday of every week. I would receive the papers i separate packages at my door at around noon and I would have to put them together, put rubber bands on them, and deliver them to the houses on my route. Payment varied because I would have to go out and collect $6 from each customer every three weeks.

The job is very easy, self managed so its based around your own schedule, and it doesn't take up much time
Neighbours/ clients don't may very often, or chose not to pay at all, so some house deliveries are free labour and keep it difficult to stay motivated to deliver to them.

I am working with News Advertiser newspaper as route carrier for nine years.  News Advertiser supply all the plastic sleeves and rubber bands that I need to make the proper delivery.
