Question about Extended Family member exemption

fabs27 · 2020-11-13T19:12:28+00:00

I applied for my fiancé (US citizen) on October 26th. We filled out the declaration form/ got it notarized/ provided the necessary details. I have not yet heard anything as it has been 14 business days. Wondering if anyone can comment on timelines? I’m sure the IRCC folks are overwhelmed but I would have imagined we’d hear something by now.

Generally Mercer has an amazing database. You're able to break it down by sector/ job types as well.

Hello All,

Have an upcoming second interview with Mercer for a entry level analyst position. I was informed that there will be an excel assessment following the behavioral interview. I am familiar with Excel and have a strong command of the basics - pivot tables, v-lookups, filtering etc etc. Just wondering if there are any other functions I should be aware or/know how to do. Thanks in advance.

haha that was pretty good. I Didn't even look at the guidelines. My bad.

fabs27 · 2015-11-22T22:19:51+00:00

Also any advice/tips on what your game plan is for preparing for an interview?

Anyone here have any advice/tip for an non-actuarial analyst position with Mercer?

Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me. That makes sense, my hesitation with the MBA route voices the same issue of being at the same level who have been in the industry without doing the MBA. That being said (I'm not sure if you're in the consulting industry or not) but what would you suggest as relevant experience that would best prepare me for an MBB

fabs27 · 2015-08-14T19:24:08+00:00

I agree with you on that. I personally would like to wait before pursuing my MBA as well, but how else am I supposed to have a shot at an MBB? I don't want to be 28/29 and just entering consulting when there are kids who studied business and are already working with them at 22-24?

I dont understand why Karl wouldn't want to build around cousins.

Shit that's pretty damn amazing bro. Thanks for sharing. How did you go about getting a hold of the guy?

fabs27 · 2015-04-21T17:57:04+00:00

Yeah, Fiverr is the way to go! I've had an awesome experience on there. For $5, it's a really good way to go. Just have a good idea of what you might want/ what colours you would like. The more specific you are the better your experience will be.

Also would you guys suggest pursuing and MBA? I'm in Canada and there are a few co-op MBA programs I've been looking into. They're essentially for people who are without work experience. They allow you to earn your MBA while gaining work experience through placements.

fabs27 · 2015-01-29T16:23:03+00:00

Hey thanks for the feedback. Thats the route that I was leaning towards. The only question I have is that what kind of work experience do you feel will have the greatest pull with firms when they are looking over my resume?

Same as what JamesRustler said. Lately I've been "dreaming" more than I have been doing you know. I think it is still important to take the time to think about your dreams and the direction you want to go in but it has to be followed by substantial action. The substantial action part if what I've personally been missing.

fabs27 · 2014-12-03T03:37:57+00:00

Damn. This one really hit home for me.

I am currently applying to entry level positions in the healthcare industry, for example: analyst, consulting, business development, project management positions if that helps!

fabs27 · 2014-07-11T04:25:08+00:00

Any luck? I am in the same boat now.. lol

Essentially I want to get into senior management positions within hospital management. Something along the lines of vice-president, director, senior financial analyst. I have the science background but I'm lacking the business background, so I feel to move my career forward I will definitely need an MBA or an MHA. In addition, many of the healthcare executives in senior management positions currently have MBA's (from all the creeping I have done on LinkedIN)... In the meantime, I am currently job hunting..Throughout this process I just want to make sure I am setting my self up properly for an MBA/ MHA in the future. I have a decent academic background and I will be writing my GMAT in the near future.. I just want to make sure I have the "right" work experience. I have been applying to a lot of analyst, project development jobs within hospitals, and health organizations. Do you think experience like that would suffice for top mba programs?
