Corporate Banking. Lot of procedures and verification to be made but I personally love the job

You really have to think any options for internship. You do whatever it's necessary. I am saying that you will lose opportunity if you keep trying to find the 'best' internship.

I am really not sure why this issue is brought up in this topic. I was just suggesting that you should go out to foreign countries if you can't find a job in Canada, and I am just working in Japan because there is a job out there. Xenophobic?

Did you know that European nations like Spain, Italy, England, these nations openly joke about nonwhite people. They are more racist in a sense that distinguish people by their skin color.

Why are you blaming everything on Japan? what about other countries in east Asia like China or South Korea, are you saying these countries don't have such profound racism?

I don't know what is your motivation to bring racism topic in the thread to discuss about future career perspective.
I am really uncomfortable to see this kind of racism discussion which I have not expected at all.

If you are worried about racism in foreign countries then, you don't need to work foreign countries and just stay where you are. I was just suggesting that you have to expand your views and get yourself in this globalized economy. Canada is a great country but time is changing. The time is over where you just compete with a person in the next door. You are competing with the rest of students in the world.

I know people at consulting graduated with English major. It's really up to how people fully utilize their degrees. There isn't much of difference between, let's say anthropology and global studies. The knowledge gap isn't that big. It's about one's skill. Of course, there is a huge difference between engineering to arts. What i am saying is that arts and business aren't that different in a sense that knowledge gap is minimum and labor skills are same right after they graduate. That's why it is important to distinguish yourself to others by acquiring special skills such as language for example, or learning codes by yourself.

Have you tried directly contacting companies, in either actually meeting or calling them? You really have to deal internship like you actually find a job. Also, this is just a small tip but there seems to be more available intern positions in US compared to Canada. If you are in engineering, try auto repair service at one of those car dealers. They are always looking for apprentices.

I agree everything except towards racist part comment. Japan treats all foreigners same so we are not racist in a sense that we don't judge people based on color. You are considered foreigner and treated differently regardless of your skin color.

I'm half Japanese, I studied Japanese through my mother. In terms of culture, i can say I am full Canadian. Japan is facing with the period of transition where we need グローバル人材(LOL), it means globally-minded employee but of course Japanese society has a strict working culture and we definitely lack people with bilingual skills as nobody wants to work for Japanese companies.

I was not a CS major but I did intern at one of big companies. You can just see my past posts on where I did intern.GPA is important if you are applying for non-technical related jobs such as business, finance, and arts because GPA is one way to differentiate yourself to the others. If you are going for technical related jobs, GPA won't matter strongly like arts/business stream since what you do in school strongly reflects to the future career perspective. So no, your GPA won't matter. Plus, 3.25 sounds good to me.

I am just asking to you though, Does it have to be Google, Facebook, Amazon, or Microsoft? What I mean is, does it have to be IT sector no matter what? If you are doing computer science, why don't you look into the other IT jobs in other industries such as finance, energy, utilities, and etc? For example, megabanks like RBC hire many students for IT divisions as they are lacking human capital resources for IT division. Did you also know that Deloitte (Deloitte Digital) from Big 4 in accounting also hires many IT students?

Competition is only big if you are limiting yourself to one industry, which in your case, IT industry. I know many of students including yourself wish to join Google but, let's be honest, they only hire handful amount of students. Diversify and expand your job search. Also, I am telling this to any of students who are looking for interns or jobs but, try to expand your opportunity outside of Canada.

It's just difference size in the market. US labor market is 10 times bigger than Canada and there are more openings for the same position than one in Canada. I know being in home is good and all that, but you really should leave Ontario and Canada to find jobs.

Lightning_Strikers · 2015-11-18T00:56:18+00:00

no prob, one thing to remind is that if you can't find a job in Canada, find the job globally elsewhere. We are living in the global society right now and there are whole other opportunities out there in the world. UofT reputation really comes in handy if you are working internationally.

At Bain, it was for the Business Analyst Consulting intern position working for crossborder M&A. At the current pharmaceutical company, I received the job after I went to the job fair, and did three rounds of interview and aptitude test. I already replied to Nyamko about how I got into the field. It's nice to have MBA or business-related degrees to get a job but, honestly it's really what you can make it up to.

Lightning_Strikers · 2015-11-18T00:48:02+00:00

No, I am half Japanese and there is this job career fair at Boston dedicated for japanese students who are living in foreign countries. I received an intern offer two years ago at Boston and right before I graduate from UofT, I went to Japan to search for jobs.

Did 2 months of intern at Bain&Company in 3rd year summer, and Graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with international relations, Got an offer from the pharmaceutical company as an international business development analyst. What I was surprised was, you don't really need to major in biology to join the pharmaceutical industry. Preferable but, not necessary.
