It's almost the holiday season which means Canada Post is now hiring for hundreds of high-paying jobs across the country!

"You'll help us sort holiday mail and parcels to make sure customers and businesses receive what they're waiting for," the national postal service said in holiday job postings.

Postal Clerks sort mail items into batches, operate mail-processing equipment, transport mail between floors or sections, check addresses and postage on mail items, and enter data into a computer.
