Happy holiday everyone. I am a cat sitter in the Brentwood area and I would love to drop in to visit your cat while you're away for the season. Please DM me for a Rover link if you're interested. You can check out my profile which features my cat Coffee!

It wasn’t until I started my job search till I realized how unhelpful a criminology degree can be. It’s seen as an asset but never a requirement especially without a masters. Any jobs I’m actually Interested in require a masters. I’m pretty open to getting more certifications/qualifications but unsure on what route to take. I have OFA1 but wondering if other certifications would help in my search (NVCI) Non violent communication intervention cert. keeps popping up and was wondering if anyone has any advice or is currently in that field. Feeling as though I’ve just wasted the past 6 years.

I am not too far into my science degree, so I still have some time to switch my career around, and I have been thinking recently if I should drop out of UBC and enroll myself in nursing school at Douglas College. I have heard that only having a science degree is not enough these days to get a job, and I'm not sure what to do. I know there are a lot of nursing jobs out there, but will it become oversatutated like how it is with computer science?

Read recently that CMBC wanted to increase the number or Apprentices to 50, from 44...

Hey! Im looking for some cash work. I can do a lot of heavy lifting if needed as well!

It’s not just me, but other employees who are being targeted. My co-manager is Chinese, and he talks badly about other employees behind their backs. I wouldn’t make a fuss if he was just complaining about work performance, but he makes very racial remarks in Mandarin (I’m Korean and understand a little Mandarin). He refers to Indian people as “vermin,” calls Filipino people “monkeys,” and refers to Korean people as “bastards.”

That’s not all—he claims that autism and depression are fake diseases, saying people just need to “grow up” or “get beaten up” to fix those issues. He also mocks employees with medical conditions, such as making fun of a diabetic employee for frequently using the bathroom.

From what I’ve heard, he received a warning about this behavior about a year ago, but he still slips up from time to time. My goal is to get him fired. I plan to report this to HR, and if they don’t take action, I will escalate the issue by reporting it to WorkSafe BC or another relevant authority.

A few years ago, the company fired a white employee on the spot for repeatedly using the N-word toward Black employees. Interestingly, the Black employees weren’t even the ones offended; someone else reported it. He is the one who told me about that story. If that was grounds for immediate termination, I believe this situation should be too.

Unfortunately, our workplace isn’t unionized, so I can’t escalate it through a union. I’m new to Vancouver and Canada, so I’m figuring out the best steps to take. I already have three other employees who are fully aware of the issue and can back me up. However, I suspect the other co-manager (who is also Chinese) might protect him, even though this second co-manager has never made racial slurs at work.

What steps should I take to ensure the racist co-manager is fired? While I know the straightforward answer is to talk to HR, he’s been with the company for six years, and they didn’t take meaningful action after a similar incident last year. HR had a serious discussion with him about workplace bullying and harassment, but it clearly didn’t resolve the issue.

I’m determined to make sure he is held accountable for his behavior. What should I do next?

I'm 45 and have been in and out of post secondary for many years. I made a couple of attempts at the Electronics Engineering Technology program at Camosun in Victoria betwen 1999 and 2007. I then got a job as a Technical Coordinator for a charity at UVic which made one-off projects for people with disabilities, getting let go after 3 years in 2010 and dropped out of Camosun 6 courses shy of grad. I enrolled at Okanagan College's EET program in 2015 and took everything over again, graded in 2017 with and 85% average and bridged to UBCO. I had a rough time with a few courses at UBCO, but still graded in 2021 with my Electrical Engineering degree.

I was in 2 separate car crashes that weren't my fault and was unable to look for work due to concussion symptoms from July 2023 until a couple months ago. So now there is a large gap on my resume from graduation until now. I'm living in Kelowna, currently working in a Walmart and doing Doordash and Skip. There doesn't seem to be that much for electronics in the Okanagan.

I haven't ever been that interested in the distribution side of things but I loved Electronics; embedded C, PCB and circuit design, digital logic, FPGA's etc. I don't know the electrical code, haven't used Revit and haven't done Autocad but have plenty of experience with Altium and MPlab. It seems like a lot of Technologist/Engineering jobs are actually looking for someone to design lighting systems for buildings etc. instead of actual electronics.

So far since my recovery, I've gotten one digital interview with a Nutrien potash in Saskatoon and one in person interview with WS Technologies (a firm specializing in test equipment for avalanche beacons) in Kelowna, and that's it this year. WS interviewers seemed very concerned about the gap between grad and now.

Before the accident, I interviewed with ESS Technologies (bombed technical interview because I misheard their question over zoom), Anodyne Electronic Manufacturing (wanted someone to permanently to load their pick-and-place machines and solder with no opportunities to move up at $21.50 so I declined) , and the Ministry of Transport (was not selected).

I'm putting out lots of applications and looking outside of the province, but I'm just not getting much interest. I've gone from only looking at Engineer positions, to apply for Technologist jobs to applying for technician roles. I just can't get a sniff.

How to I break into industry and get my first job? Do I address my concussion injuries causing the employment gap in my cover letter? Do I drop Camosun from my education section, despite the Tech Coordinator job and my experience with legacy electronics? Is there some hidden job board outside of LinkedIn and Indeed where I should be looking? I'm really at a loss on how to get that first position. I've tried going to IEEE meetings, but no one seemed interested in helping me network and it was expensive to pay membership dues for someone with a crappy job. What should I do?

I just finished a Co-Op on Data Science and have strong 5 year experience in Digital Marketing. I'm also very curious about stocks and trading (if there's any chance to get an internship in that area I think DS is very helpful to understand that industry).

I've been using indeed but seems like I can't pass the filters for the recruiters to even check my resume. Any recommendation on where should I apply?

I can’t seem to find export coordinator positions in manufacturing or trading companies in Vancouver. Back in my hometown, I worked as an export coordinator for manufacturing companies. Currently, I live in Vancouver and have been searching for similar roles here, but I haven’t had much luck. There are plenty of opportunities in freight forwarding and trucking companies, but not many positions focused on arranging international shipping, assisting overseas sales teams, or handling international trade documents like FTAs or letters of credit. Is there no demand for these types of roles in Canada?

I didn't know it would be this tough to get a job here. I have 8+years of experience in Risk & Digital Analytics specifically in banking domain, back in my home country. I have started regretting my decision to come here. With next 6months, I'll end up with my savings and with no choice I have started looking for basic pay jobs.
Any tips on how to get a part time job, please? I am good at cooking , Tech, Designing logos and stuff but an Introvert..

I know the job market in NA is bad all around but it feels especially bleak here.

I'm digital marketer and designer and every other job is either fake or a scam! doesn't matter what job board I'm on it's the same few scam companies running around trying to steal your info. Not to mention half the job descriptions on WorkBC are written with AI...

I've applied to probably 400 - 1K jobs since 2022 and it's just never ending!!!

If its not a scam, its a recruiting company, if its not that its some fraud insurance company - there's nothing here and not to mention the salaries all SUCK!

Seriously, what's left? is there anything at all?

I’ve been looking at mainly HVAC and Electrical, and it seems common for a 5 year wait lists for just the foundation programs. Everyone has been saying just apply to openings but it seems like there is nothing. Is this due to way too many apprentices and too little journeys? Anything else I can look for? If not I’ll be looking to do some other schooling. TIA

I recently moved to Vancouver. I have 5 years of experience in the industry, mainly on maintenance/alteration projects in Hong Kong. No Canadian experience whatsoever. I am interested in getting into the plan checker job. However, I have no Canadian knowledge or qualifications. Would an entry-level architectural assistant job be a good starting point?

I am so exhausted. I never felt this mentally and emotionally drained ever in my life and am genuinely worried for the rest of my career. I graduated from UBC 2023 nov and luckily had a job lined up before graduation even.

It was never a "oh this is a foot in the door for my career" job, but something to pay the bills, as an admin assistant at a very big company in Canada. I told myself okay stick around for six months, pay the bills, get some corporate experience then branch out and figure what it is you actually want to do.

1 year and 3 months later, I am still here. I am still here making barely above minimum wage, working 8-5 in person, monday through friday (1 hour unpaid lunch), doing the job of 2 people because they tend to "cross train" us in entirely two different administrative departments and say that every employee needs to learn this, even though you get paid the salary of one. I was like okay you know what, whatever, i can manage. I am basically a glorified, corporate minimum wage worker at this point.

After a year of being here, I figured there must be some wiggle room to up my salary, guess what my fucking boss tells me, 1%, one FUCKING percent. I felt so insulted, I laughed at her face when she told me. Mind you, I am just below 50k/year so an extra $500 a year felt like a slap in the face, especially considering all the work I put in on a daily basis and glowing recommendations and recognition (not to toot my own horn, but I am very frustrated) I have gotten from other employees I have assisted at this company.

I feel so miserable everyday as I come into work. I sit at the same desk, run around the building putting out fires, train new hires, make sure every operation is running as smoothly as possible. I am miserable but I never let it affect my performance. I have always been a hard worker and will hopefully continue to be one for the rest of my life but this job is making it very difficult. Having to constantly convince myself there is something else out there, better aligned for me, there is something I can do and make a bigger difference professionally and personally.

It is getting harder and harder to show up to work. I have feel like I am not being challenged enough, I am not being useful enough, I am surrounded by the two words, not enough. I have been applying for 2-3 jobs daily. Editing my resume accordingly, writing cover letters, reaching out to hiring managers on linkedin. Doing everything I thought I should do to get a new job and absolutely no luck.

Despite having calls with recruiters, no luck, a couple of interviews and no luck. Recruiters dont even have the fucking decency to reject you via an email after putting you through 3 rounds of applications. I want to cry and break something each time I am ghosted by a lousy fucking recuriter.

I apologise for the rant, I am just giving up. This lack of a good job has taken a toll on my mental and physical health and I dont have all the time in the world, I am 23 years old and have 2 years left on my work permit.

I have experience in mental health support, residence life mangement, office administration and most customer facing jobs that require building long term interpersonal relationships and skills. Can I kindly request for some advice and recommendations?

Again, I am so sorry I came off as entitled, I know the economy is fucked and to an extent I should be grateful my bills are getting paid and I have a roof over my head and food on my plate, but I just want to be able to do something to get myself out of this rut. I know I am worth a lot more and can meaningfully contribute to different roles if I just got a chance.

My fellow drivers, how are you guys doing since the new pay regulation got put into place? I'm doing exceptionally well other than tips being now lower than expected.

im in uni and trying to find a job here in vancouver. i mean how do i get experience when i haven't really worked a proper job. plus no one would hire you if you don't have a good resume with experience on it. are there any good online courses that can improve my resume? I have been volunteering here and there, but at the end of the day... does it even matter??? please help!!!! (i just need to know where to get started)
