This road looks really similar to somewhere I have been before, Oh yeah...
Let’s see I have been to and graduated from College three times already, and now I am coming out of University.
My question is WHAT DOES A CANADIAN HAVE TO DO TO GET A JOB AROUND HERE?
Sure you are thinking, well you are just coming out of school, what do you really expect to have something waiting for you in today’s economy?
Okay Okay so maybe I am being a baby, maybe I shouldn’t be upset that I am now owing 60 thousand + to my government. I mean of course they were nice enough to lend it to me right? Yea they were nice enough to lend me money and then ask me to pay them 700$ a month soon as I am done school and looking for employment. I mean my payments are only going to be compounded daily... whats daily intrest anyway! Pfft no biggy. (I’m crying just thinking about it)
So I started applying for jobs a few months ago, I mean I had to. I had to get the leg up on all those other Business students that are graduating in a few weeks. Mind you I was working two jobs up until a few weeks ago. Student employment of course, I mean I had to work as a student to cover my costs, my loan wasn’t enough. Now that I won’t be a student any more I won’t be working either of my jobs, it’s disappointing.
Sure you might say, well wouldn’t those jobs give you experience and open doors of opportunities for you? I would say well certainly they would wouldn’t they? I’m a hard worker, I fallow rules, I'm polite and I'm punctual. My parents always said hard work speaks for its self.
Sorry Mom and Dad, I think you guys may have been wrong on that one. There is more to getting a job than experience, education and hard work.
It’s really really really frustrating, yup it sure is. I’m educated in a few fields; I have experience in those fields as well. I was working, had a great job. Some might even say it was a dream job; it was the kind of job that you woke up and were excited about in the mornings. I loved it, it was great. Layoffs came, they sure did and my hard work didn't count. So just like that Snap!! My dream job was gone, Hello life of unemployment! I returned to school, I sure did I said well sir if my dream job has no more jobs for me here I am going to make sure I have some employable skills that are desirable. I found myself doing office administration in school; everyone needs a receptionist/secretary. Actually it turns out that they will take high school graduates for that type of work, apparently with a certification I cost too much.
Business Degree, ohh my lovely business degree... what will you get me my lovely business degree?
I'm travelling down the road of it looks like the only way I can get a head is to open my own business. I have a few things in mind.
