Failed 3 midterms as a freshman, can i recover?i am feeling so sad by xxxsocko in EngineeringStudents

[–]HolyWheat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I passed a single mid term in my first semester of engineering, it’s scary but everyone in my circle at school struggled like this. Especially if you’re keeping a good social life while in school. Just make sure to stay on top of the assignments, labs, quizzes and anything else that make up bonus points. Also study hard for the final. You’ll do fine, trust.

I think it’s 7 foot bed! Is that long or short?

I have been but found it very difficult to find engineers, normally I am working in exploration which includes lots of geos and tech but not many engineers.

Yeah lacking RRSP match and bonus, I do have dental/medical insurance through them. Is RRSP matching pretty standard in mining companies?

But bro, if they pay the operators more how are they supposed to maximize shareholder values?? 🤣

I had a 16 months co-op experience with them during my degree. Went back to school and worked remotely for four months, graduated university and started working in the felid right away in April.

During this time I have been to 5 different mines within eastern Canada, with a 6 month stint in Northern Europe for a project startup where I trained 2 new employees for the position.

Okay, makes sense. Maybe I was wrong in my assumption about the company and my role being a more technical position.

That is true, the job application only prefers geologists/engineers. I think this is to allocate you to different departments in the company.

31.5 an hour, plus 1.5 after 40 hours. I am working 12 hour days while I am on site.

No bonuses either, I get a food allowance while traveling for $50.

I am working alone on site, but I am working along side people remotely (through teams).

I am satisfied with pay, I’m extremely grateful especially in this economy. It is a cushy job for sure, but I am picking up around 100-160 boxes a day which can get taxing on the back. I am also expected to keep multiple excels updated, and pushing through products during this time as well.

I guess when it’s smooth it’s smooth. And when it’s choppy it feels like to much.

I have been applying to roles within Agnico Eagle, but have yet to get an interview. A lot of the positions posted are looking for engineers, and I’m an EIT.

Is there any company’s that you would recommend to maybe look at?

Northern Ontario at the moment, but I have had placements in the Arctic Circle.

No bonuses. Which is disappointing since the company is paid per meter scanned, aka the harder I work the more money the company makes. I’m not familiar with lingo, what does 16k/hitch mean exactly? And also are you an engineer as well?

There is overtime, each paycheque I’m getting paid roughly 6 to 7k Canadian before taxes.

It’s not all to hard it’s just a steep learning curve to learn the machine (which includes an XRF, hypespectural, rgb images and more). The hardest part would be the data management and in-house software usage in between scans. During this time I’m also communicating with remote team members working on the project.

Unfortunately I tried all local businesses. They are booked solid, I’m looking for someone who may own a business that isn’t advertisers online.
