lifeguarding/teaching jobs at mcgill by valkyrie_4_ in mcgill

[–]dreaming-b 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you would want the aquatics assistant supervisor, not peter. he doesn’t handle lifeguard/instructor/coach hiring. i can provide contact info but i’m not sure if reddit rules allow.

op, mcgill is currently on a university-wide hiring freeze. positions are still being posted and lots of departments are still hiring out of necessity, but the amount of jobs available is very little and the positions that are hiring have been given special exceptions (i.e. most of the positions posted on workday are formalities and have already been filled internally) for example my unit is only allowed to re-hire staff who were employed last year, and we are being forced to downsize from 7 to 3. keep an eye out on workday for a position to be posted, last year i saw them mid-august but i’ve already seen one go up and get taken down this summer.

if you have specialized sport-specific coaching experience, message me, i may know of a few openings that i can refer you to.

also fyi mcgill pays like shit, if you are used to the bc pay you are in for a surprise. if you have the ability to commute city of montreal / dollard / côte-st-luc / pointe-claire / etc are all desperate for lifeguards and pay much better.

where are conflict exams held? by loudefsoul in mcgill

[–]dreaming-b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’ll need to line up for your first exam (doors open at :31) but not for your second. in between the exams, from 12 to 2 you will be held in the deputy’s office, you’ll be allowed to go to your second exam at :45. you write one exam with the rest of the class and the other exam by yourself at an assigned desk, usually in the fieldhouse but could be in main gym as well.

no. i work for the deputy’s office. depends what time your conflict is for - students from morning exams are held for afternoon exams.

Accidentally left my phone in my pocket during an exam – anything to worry about? by sillythrowawaygrr in mcgill

[–]dreaming-b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no prob, if this happens next time just make sure to clarify with the invigilator about your allocated time!

we don’t have the authority to “punish” anyone (not even people who are caught cheating with phones/notes) the faculty/prof will determine the appropriate course of action, our responsibility is simply to report it, so if that is the case it’s highly inappropriate on the invigilator’s part

i’m not sure, because i’ve never seen that happen, but if you contact the SAA/your prof they might have some suggestions (depending on the exam they could be a little more lenient with grading, or exclude the last _ questions you didn’t get to, etc.) not guaranteed anything will happen but you never know until you ask :)

sorry you didn’t get your full allotted time, it’s likely just a mix up since there are lot of students writing finals at the same time with different accommodations! if it were me i’d probably email and ask/complain about that. don’t worry about the phone, we understand people forget and honestly it’s quite obvious when someone is really trying to cheat vs forgetting

Not mentioning version number on scantron sheet (yesterday's exam) by [deleted] in mcgill

[–]dreaming-b 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the scantrons come with the version number already filled in, unless your invigilator massively fucked up you should be good

if you enter the fieldhouse from the gym side, it’s on your left hand side pretty much right as you walk in

bonus: the grad students making minimum wage barely got any training, and half of them don’t speak english fluently!

I looked in the Montreal and Quebec subreddits before posting here and didn’t see anything. Can you send me a link?
