That?s the message being bandied about by Human Resources Canada as it kicks off Odd Job Week.
?It?s an initiative to encourage employers and homeowners to hire students for short-term employment,? said Annie Remillard, summer employment officer with the Sudbury Human Resources Centre.
?It?s not long-term employment but it does allow students who are in the process of looking for a job to work. Odd jobs can be anything from gardening to clerical work to moving to baby-sitting. It varies depending on demand.?
Last summer, more than 100 odd jobs were provided to area students through Human Resources Canada. Odd job week runs from July 4 to 8.

Odd Job Week activities:
Thursday will see customers of Petro-Canada on the Kingsway get their gas pumped by students to spread the word about student labour and encouraging customers to hire a student.
Friday, the Lock Down is the main event for Odd Job Week as local celebrities and summer employment officers will be locked-up in a makeshift prison in the New Sudbury Shopping Centre for four hours or until they receive 50 odd job opportunities from the community.
