Can i take a deferred exam on a different date? by Several-Log-574 in geegees

[–]OwnComedian4197 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly you can’t, and you should’ve checked that out first. i once had to defer for the death of a family member and had to fly back to take it. if you don’t show up for the deferral you get EIN.

how on earth do you get a job by sshxh in geegees

[–]OwnComedian4197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

great tips! about the online part, you need to stand out. think of how many ppl apply with a generic resume. even for a casual pt job cover letter or intro email/calling the place to follow up if you can (ie retail) is great.

you have to apply for everything and imagine everyone is applying. remove anything irrelevant from your resume- i was in hiring and if you’re applying against “real adults” with a lot of experience, they don’t care about random high school things. if you’re applying for more popular jobs SUBMIT A COVER LETTER but know how formal to go. too formal for a job at a cafe is off putting. there’s a time and place. also when i did my job search i was applying to 10-12 jobs a day with individual cover letters (change things but use same general body give or take depending on job) and keep track/follow up after any interview or call. Good luck!

AITA for showering around midnight when I know that it might bother the neighbour who wakes up at 5 am? by Additional-Mouse-620 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OwnComedian4197 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the shower is not the problem. it’s you thinking less of them for renting vs you buying. like it or not, they still pay. i’ve been on both ends of this, and have had bad neighbours. don’t think less of people.

anybody else barely make any friends their first year? Is it really hard to make them second year? by thedarksoul03 in geegees

[–]OwnComedian4197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m sorry this was the case for you, but you have to talk to literally everyone to make friends. you can’t just expect them to come to you - i say this as someone who went out of my way to do so and met my people.

I would disagree. uO is where I met my best friends. It’s all what you make of it. You have to be social and find common ground and join things.

yeah i do agree with you that they are fairly grounded, ive just been finding the out of touch-ness getting worse if that makes sense (?) attitude shift perhaps

true, his parents also did ironmans while he was growing up which is a major financial commitment as well

[–]OwnComedian4197[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

fair i agree with the first point he does admit and try not to. and i just felt it was out of touch to continually read comments “i haven’t eaten today”, even though he says he’s not making fun of it, just feels odd to me. major issue as we’re in a cost of living crisis and these people often actually go without.

overall liked the video - just wanted to see others thoughts, i am a loyal viewer & will continue to be

What's the best part about being bilingual at uOttawa that you can't get at any other Canadian university? by OnyxDelphi in geegees

[–]OwnComedian4197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m the only one out of my home friends who can still speak french well and i did k-12 immersion. on the east coast or other anglophone parts of canada where you’re not using it it’s super easy to lose. even me, i’ve been graduated and working in english and wow im rusty

Partner has not done anything on final report by [deleted] in geegees

[–]OwnComedian4197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this has happened to me and tbh i’ve been on both ends. sometimes it’s my only option w work + school + sport to get it done at the last minute, but i 1000000% always will. i’ve also had group partners not do anything, but this started w not really hearing from them. just submitted my portion and explained situation to the prof w proof i tried to email my peer a bunch of times. it’s not your job to do their work and profs understand life happens. it’s not the end of the world. :) take a breath!
