ok let me run thru this to make it easier.

the tax centre needs lots of extra help during tax time, you will not be doing the taxes, you will be working in the mail room, sorting, opening, and in another part doing more sorting, etc.

the hours are ONLY fulltime...no p/t
the hoursare 7-3, in the week before tax day you get TONS of OT

it does get monotonous, but you're getting paid well, and its temp (5 weeks) so whatever.

there is a test you have to write, make sure you go prepared (bring all the info they need with you, pencil, etc)...the test looks hard and scary...its actually not that bad...take your time...do as many questions as possible and you should be fine.

it is at the surrey tax centre, located across from king george skytrain station
