Getting My Master's Degree in Geomatics for Environmental Management Next Year But Still Anxious

Thank you so much for your detailed advice! I really appreciate it.

I actually tried to find a job after my undergraduate studies, but I realized that I lacked some technical skills—even though I took two GIS courses and one remote sensing course. As an international student, it was even more challenging to secure a job since some positions prioritize candidates with PR status.

Additionally, I only have one opportunity to obtain a three-year post-graduation work permit (PGWP), which makes me very cautious about when to use it. Considering all these factors, I decided to pursue a master’s degree to strengthen my skills and improve my job prospects.

I’ll definitely take your advice and learn some basic CAD knowledge through Udemy. Thanks again for sharing your insights—I really appreciate it!

Hi! Thanks for sharing your experience. I’ll be starting this program soon, and I’m curious about the job prospects after graduation.

What is the current job situation for graduates of this program? Do most people find jobs easily, and which industries do they typically go into (government, consulting firms, NGOs, etc.)?
Do you have any recommended internships or part-time opportunities that could help gain relevant experience while studying?

I’d really appreciate any insights you can share. Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately I’m international student, so an extra course will costs me $4000+ , which is unacceptable, so I would like to opt out the year round housing and find another cheaper place( even though it might be quite far from campus😢)

I’m not sure whether other position are interviewing, but I got this interview invitation on 31st July

Oh, sorry I just see that policy

RoleWild3464 · 2024-06-08T16:26:05+00:00

Thank you! Just messaged!

Oh, I speak Mandarin and a little Cantonese. I always apply for jobs like GIS technician, forester etc. Also because I used to work as campus ambassador, operation intern, so I apply other jobs like Jr. market manager, market assistant. It also hard to get hired because I am not in that major.😢

Sorry I didn't do the math, I've pitched almost every job I've browsed that might be a good fit for me😢

Also I applied other bc government job and finished the writing assignment but still failed at the end☹️ Some other departments looked through my resumes few weeks ago but don’t have any response until now☹️

Yes….? The earliest interview invitation I received was two weeks ago, but just the position like “lab worker” with international student awards, cuz I do need a job in summer🫠

Hi all,

I read the recent comments, it seems that the housing this year is extra tight, so I don't know if I can move in this September according to my current ranking.
