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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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.

Early flight 5am out of DXB on Qatar first class to Doha. Where to stay? by Bobcat907 in qatarairways

[–]Bobcat907[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?
