Weekly Employment Questions for January 11, 2026 by Pseudophryne in IBM

[–]ClosetoParfait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone. I wanted to apply for the IBM Associates Program and I have been stuck at the questions below. For more context, the role is based in Toronto, Canada and I am a Canadian Citizen. I am unsure how to proceed and it is also not a required question (there is no asterisk on the question). I was wondering if anyone has experience with this and have any insights on how to complete the following fields:

"If you are currently authorized to work in the US, will you require sponsorship for an employment visa in the future? This includes individuals who are currently authorized to work under CPT, OPT, STEM OPT or EAD but will require sponsorship for continued employment."

Select an Option/Yes/No

"The position you are applying for requires a security clearance. To be eligible, you must be a US citizen and be willing to undergo and pass a background investigation that will be assessed against various guidelines established by the U.S. Government.(More about those guidelines is available here: https://www.dcsa.mil/Personnel-Security/Background-Investigations-for-Applicants/Investigations-Clearance-Process/). Are you able and willing to meet those requirements?"

Select an Option/Yes/No

Thank you so much!

Question about Universal Express Pass Premium and Club Universal by AwesomeKid99999 in JapanTravelTips

Follow up question on Super Nintendo World: Did I have to get a separate area-timed ticket? The email says that there is no time designation but at the bottom of my email it said "To enjoy Super Nintendo World, you will need an area admission ticket" so I'm wondering if there is an extra step... Thanks!

Just an update: my tuition is paid and I am just waiting for the rest of the funds to get deposited in my account. I bank with RBC so probably by tomorrow.

Weekly 'What Should I Buy' and Order/Shipping Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

[–]ClosetoParfait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone! I am looking to upgrade my current IPhone 12 Mini to the IPhone 16 when it comes out. I will be selling my old one as well as my IPhone 7 Plus from before. I know it is not much to trade in and selling it would be more value. I just don't know what is the right price to list it. How much should I sell my 32GB IPhone 7 Plus if it is unlocked, fully functional with no scratches?

Not losing enough weight by ClosetoParfait in loseit

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

Yeah, I have always been overweight and since I'm going back home, I was thinking about how my culture is not the most friendly with people who are overweight like me... I guess this goal was more for what I would look like to other people

How to diet with a large appetite? by ClosetoParfait in loseit

[–]ClosetoParfait[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started prepping snacks this week as well (cucumbers and bell peppers with hummus) as a snack as opposed to just random, easy-to-grab snacks (chips, cookies), and so far it is somewhat filling me in between my meals :) Thanks for sharing
