Mississauga News

The typical day at work is usually boring - you work in solitude at home working your way in packaging newspapers and advertisements together. Then, you deliver the newspaper to the neighborhood.

The management was efficient, where the newspapers and flyers always arrived on time to my house.

Some of the hardest parts of the job is to keep entertained as you work inserting flyers into the newspaper (since you work alone at home). Moreover, another hard part about this career is that you have to deliver the newspapers regularly regardless of the weather outside.

The most enjoyable part of the job is that you can work at home. Furthermore, getting to know more about the neighborhood is also entertaining and fun.

I worked 3 days a week; Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. First the newspapers are flyers would be delivered directly to my house in order for me to put them together and prepare them for delivery. Then I would deliver newspapers on the streets that I am responsible for. At the time my brother was also delivering newspapers, so we often helped each other prepare and deliver. The hardest part of the job would be whenever it rained. We would still have to go out and do the paper route. So we had to prepare the newspapers but put them in plastic bags to protect them from the rain. The most enjoyable part of the job was whenever I handed it directly to the customer, and the customer expressed gratitude.

The usual days when I delivered newspapers was good, at times it could be tiring, since I delivered to 100 houses. The hardest part of the job would have to be when it was very cold outside, and I had to still deliver to all the 100 houses I  was assigned. What I learned was to be more quick and efficient while delivering, because there are times when I needed to finish before a rainstorm hit so I wouldn't have to deliver in the rain. I became a lot more faster  in preparing the news papers with the flyers, if I take too long then it would take away from the school work I had to finish.

The Mississauga News is a newspaper company and what they do is they give you paper routes for you to do. the hardest thing that I had to do was work in the harsh weather and that was a bit difficult but I still did it nonetheless. The salary was difficult cause I only got paid a total of almost 400$ in the span of 6 months which means I got paid only .24-.44 cents with every insert and house I did which was very hard at that time but I was able to pay off my bank account within the 6 months that I worked there and then I finally quit cause I needed a better job and also a change of pace.

It is a lot of work but I get a lot of exercise during my delivering. I learned that not everything is easy in life and you have to persevere through the tough times. I think the hardest part of bundling the newspapers is making sure i have enough for each home. Also, the hardest part of delivering the newspapers is getting my cart up and down the stairs. The most enjoyable part of the job is that i get to interact with the lovely home owners and the exercise is a great way to get my daily exercise.

Working for Mississauga news your schedules are on Thursdays, and Fridays, you are require to package and deliver the newspapers to your route and take feedback on what we can improve. I have learned how to manage my time with school work and work. The management are very good, here to help and they are very polite people. The work place is at your house as they deliver the papers to your house. The hardest part of the job is packaging the newspapers. The most enjoyable part of the job is watching people receive their newspaper.

Mississauga News are extremely very friendly people who do their work properly. Ilearned how hard work is, and how to take responsibility for my job. The hardest part was definitely having to take the time and fix the advertisements for the newspaper deliveries. The most enjoyable part of the job in my opinion is the accomplishments that you discover after working so hard, and also the people who I deliver to, and actually enjoy what I deliver. 

It is a very easy job and better for younger kids to do as a first job to learn how to manage a job and their money. Organizing papers and putting the fliers together took no more than about 1-2 hours depending on how many fliers there were for the day, personally, I delivered to about 130 houses, therefore, it took me a total of 3-4 hours. I got the chance to work from home then deliver and get exercise at the same time. Overall, I liked this job.

The papers would arrive on my driveway during the day. Then I would go out and take them from their packages and sort individual flyers into the newspaper. Then I'd go around to all 42 houses on my route and place the paper in the mailboxes. Rinse and repeat 3 days a week. 
This was a good first job for a young teenager who wants a bit extra money. While I can't justify staying as a 16 year old with less than $70 per month, but for youngsters it's a good experience to introduce you to responsibilities that will escalate further in your working career.

when i was delivering newspapers it was the longest i had ever worked. I had to deliver newspapers to 150 houses wednesday, thursday, and friday. I also had to roll them all which took up most of the time. It was a time consuming job but i learned how to manage my time and meet deadlines. The hardest part of this job was that you had to deliver the newspapers whether the weather outside was raining, snowing, to hot or to cold. The papers had to be delivered. Overall i learned how to work hard for money and meet deadlines.
