If you qualify for work-study, Jobs on campus are by far the way to go. Since McGill is an anglophone institution, you don’t need french for your campus job, unless your job is tutoring in french.

I work in a lab in the medical building, and I had no problem getting the job. I was asked for a CV, didn’t have one, and still got the job. I was never even asked if I spoke french.

The moral of the job hunt story on campus is this: preference is given not to french speakers, but to students accepted into the work-study program (you can apply for that in august). If you seek, you shall easily find.

I back justatest’s advice, though. Wait until second semester. I didn’t start looking for my job until finals time first semester, at which point I just “interviewed” with the professor during a day that didn’t have a final. I can’t stress enough how easy it was to get a job (on campus).
