For a suitably chosen sequence of weights $\{\alpha_n \}$, the unilateral weighted shift Q on $l^p (1 \leq p < \infty)$, defined by Qen = αne n + 1 (n ≥ 1), is a unicellular quasinilpotent operator such that Qk is not compact for any power k ≥ 1. As a corollary, several applications to approximation of Hilbert space operators are given.
