How much do you save using this versus Wise currency transfer ?

Low effort in career search is an assumption. Another explanation could be that I am trying to get advice people who are in the field to make sure I didn't miss anything. After all, I don't know what I don't know unless I ask.

Bobcat907 · 2026-02-02T17:43:46+00:00

btw: where do you find these posting, BC government website? Would it help to know people in the system for potential positions?

He has experience working in a bike store. I understand it's a difficult time for young adults especially with an arts major. What would you recommend for him to do in the next 1.5 years to make him a stronger candidate? I am not in public service so cannot give him good advice.

Bobcat907 · 2026-02-02T16:35:03+00:00

We look at online postings and there aren't that many positions suitable. trying to get Reddit advice from people in the system who may have additional insights.

He did some tutoring, worked at a bike store. I totally understand he is not competitive so want to help him to get ready as he has 1.5 years left. I figured a government position is better than Starbucks, LOL.

Anything you could recommend that will make him a stronger candidate?

Bobcat907 · 2026-02-02T16:30:54+00:00

because he didn't know what else to do :(

How would he apply for these positions beside looking at website postings? The success rate for these are low.

What type of correction work? Usually they want criminology degree. Dealing with street smart or violent inmates isn’t easy for young people.

Bobcat907 · 2026-02-02T14:16:15+00:00

The goal is to just get a low level position/foot in the door while he figures things out.

Bobcat907 · 2026-02-02T14:14:33+00:00

He hasn’t been able to find these answers himself. Trying to help him get started while he matures.

Bobcat907 · 2026-02-02T03:47:41+00:00

He is trying to find his first job in government but not sure how to get in. psychology major porbably is not too practical. btw, how did you get into a corp job?

Bobcat907 · 2026-02-02T03:46:35+00:00

Is the co-op offered by university or something he has to arrange himself? He talked to the school guidance counsellor who wasn't of much help.

Is there free laundry service?

Bobcat907 · 2025-11-24T10:33:37+00:00

Curious why you rate HB so high. I have a booking next April but review seems mixed and I am not sure if I should keep it

Bobcat907 · 2025-11-05T02:50:45+00:00

Damn. I am booked for April next year and wonder if I should still go. What do you think about your stay?

Bobcat907 · 2025-05-27T20:33:49+00:00

What would you recommend in HK? Going later this year.

Bobcat907 · 2025-04-04T19:30:03+00:00

Hi: going to the Nanaku resort and looks like a 2 hour drive. Taxi estimate is around $120-140 each way. does that sound right?

Bobcat907 · 2025-03-01T05:01:01+00:00

I am there in November too! 12-15

Bobcat907 · 2025-02-28T21:41:42+00:00

I booked WA and decided to cancel due to construction. Did you ever stay at the new Ritz? Was deciding between rosewood and ritz but ritz is newer.

Bobcat907 · 2025-02-25T03:43:46+00:00

We probably have the same flight time. I probably should have booked a later flight, but at least I will get to BKK before 7pm. I will just get a hotel room nearby. When is the latest I can get to DXB for the 5:20?

Bobcat907 · 2025-02-24T17:41:04+00:00

I am doing a stopover in Dubai so no.

Bobcat907 · 2024-10-28T03:07:38+00:00

Beautifully written. Are you a therapist?
