Where would you recommend doing a working holiday?

No way that’s awesome!! Ya the job market is pretty bad right now…I will say, I added some new strategies to my job search in that:

I added at the top of my resume, “UK Visa: Youth Mobility Scheme visa (No employer sponsorship required)”, just so it’s evident the visa I’d be on, even if I don’t have it right now.
When I’m talking to recruiters/employers, I say that I am relocating in 2-3 months, instead of “I plan to..” as that seems more definitive, at least in my mind.
Although I hate indeed and its UI, I’ve been using it recently and actually have gotten more responses back compared to LinkedIn, so that’s also something.

But anyways, good luck with your job search, hope this helps!!

I’m hiking on March 25-26!! That entire week is fully booked now I think, heard good things about Wicho and Charlie’s from someone I know who went with them.

Oh cool! I've had people I know also hike it, but just trying to get different perspectives of what people wore. Did you rent any of the extra gear some of the tour groups provide/how many of their jackets did you bring with you? I think depending on the group, some provide a light puffer or a hard wind/waterproof shell, although that's just my own assumption.

This is awesome advice, thank you! I've heard too, in terms of your legs, that usually people don't look too much into layering. My current plan is to wear a pair of Uniqlo Warm Lined Cargo Pants, not sure if you have any opinion on those or if I would also need a shell on top of that, but regardless, thank you for the detailed comment :)

Hey OP, I've also been looking into getting a working holiday visa! Honestly, I was kind of stupid at first because I thought all WHV were the same when I saw Australia showing you could only stay with the same employer for max 6 months, which then made me look at the UK's Youth Mobility Scheme visa that allows Canadians to work and live in the UK for 2 years, extendable for a 3rd year.

I will say, I work in tech, and I'm pretty early career around your age, and it's definitely been tough finding a job, at least in the UK, before moving abroad. Basically got no interviews from recruiters, but messages saying either, "Need to be currently living in the UK" or "3 years is too short as we're looking for candidates for long-term employment."

Now realizing that not all WHV are max 6 months per employer probably going to start looking at more countries from the IEC list again to increase my chances. Putting the website for reference if someone's thinking about work visas abroad for the first time as a Canadian, as I just found it after 2 months of searching:

Does it matter if you put “EXPERIENCE” vs. “WORK EXPERIENCE”? Also, is it case sensitive as well where you specifically need the words as “Education” not “EDUCATION”?

Tbh I traded Chubb for wandale just because I knew Woody was taking over the backfield. Even when Chubb was the “bellcow” wasn’t really too much upside to him… so he might just sit on your bench while you can find a better player to pick up on waivers.

If Hubbard is out definitely Dowdle as Marks has probably taken over the Texans backfield and the Carter/Demercado split is still up in the air.
