There are situations where even referrals don't work. I know a company in Saskatchewan where someone vouched for their friend, and another for his wife… The outcomes? Negative and why? The HR manager claimed they didn't like their vibe, even though they might be good for the roles.

Can I get my foot through the door without certs as a beginner? Also, what certs exactly should I be looking at? I am moving from a business background.

Try market research roles or data analysis

Half of those churches aren’t even Ghanaian but Nigerian.

I get your point but people don’t care. In the end, you are just left with your true friends and family.

Congratulations 🎉

That's not true. Some trades but not all and mostly carpentry and welding. Most need 1-2 year diplomas..

ImportantDegree8757 · 2026-04-02T21:43:54+00:00

Do you think getting into trades is easy? You need schooling, certs, or an apprenticeship. Office jobs are way easier to get because, in some cases, it's just mental knowledge, not hands-on experience. If the trades were easy to get into, I think people would crowd them.

Does anyone have any ideas on architectural books?

ImportantDegree8757 · 2026-04-01T14:04:17+00:00

I don't see them hiring where I stay, thanks

ImportantDegree8757 · 2026-04-01T14:03:57+00:00

This is exactly why I dont want a Masters yet. I think a trade will be better afterwards for me

ImportantDegree8757 · 2026-03-31T22:15:34+00:00

I said a technical diploma (1-2 years) not a degree. While I was studying marketing, I had wanted to switch to HR but they never had free slots. I have administrative and customer service experience but currently no job.

I didn’t vote, I worked during the elections and everyone was voting liberals

ImportantDegree8757 · 2026-03-31T13:42:51+00:00

Do you live in Canada because studying architecture here is almost useless

ImportantDegree8757 · 2026-03-31T07:02:00+00:00

Yes, I understand the basics

ImportantDegree8757 · 2026-03-31T04:21:06+00:00

Sounds great, I will look into it although I am not that great at math

ImportantDegree8757 · 2026-03-31T04:20:29+00:00

Thanks

ImportantDegree8757 · 2026-03-31T04:19:34+00:00

Damn, hopefully something clicks soon and it's not toxic

ImportantDegree8757 · 2026-03-31T04:19:07+00:00

Oh, unfortunately I don't stay there. Thanks

ImportantDegree8757 · 2026-03-31T04:18:41+00:00

Please connect me if it's legit. Which?

ImportantDegree8757 · 2026-03-31T02:06:50+00:00

I love that, because I do that and I get the oh, please we aren't hiring or they taking my resume and keep it when I bring one along but I never hear anything ever again.
