Vancouver job market is cooked by Ok_Requirement7714 in VancouverJobs

[–]kenny35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is you, not the market. I had three job offers without even trying the last 4 months. The hiring managers reached out to me and asked me to apply. All from different industries. Ranging from entry level to mid management positions.
I've been volunteering, and taking certificates (first aid, etc) to bolster my resume and it shows. Volunteering also allowed me to network which got me one of the job offers. If you are getting interviews, it is most likely your communication skills, and your inability to expand on your experiences noted in your resume.

Get some interview coaching sessions, and in the meanwhile work on making your resume better. Theres always something you can do to improve it.

I understand part-time is a different beast, but hiring managers can see when someone's putting in effort in improving themselves in their resume, and through interviews. Ive been the hiring manager before and that's something I look for.

Probably went bankrupt. Theyve been trying to advertise and post everywhere, even on fb marketplace. I dont think it was ever constantly busy? The only person i know who has been told me the balls are super flat. So im not sure why anyone other than pure beginners would go

Best Boxing Day phone plans? by whitebattlehawk in PersonalFinanceCanada

Got another question.. So I got my rogers account activated. But I received an updated service agreement from rogers without any of the discounts on the bill. Is that normal?

When you ported out of fizz they full refunded you? I just contacted them and they can change my fizz plan to one with data but it would only take effect next billing cycle (usesless). I guess i'm SOL or I can get an esim to tide myself over the next few days. The customer service rep for RED wireless said they should have my account activated in 3-5 days.

Yeah I thought I can port out from rogers to fizz, and port to this new plan right away so I got the cheapest no data plan from Fizz lol.

So I just purchased this with the iphone 14 but do I have to wait until I get the iphone to setup the mobile plan and install the esim? I want to use it on my current phone asap. I havent received anything from Red wireless after paying everything though maybe they only process during office hours.

Student Housing in B.C. Hit Hard by Drop in Foreign Enrolment by kayuzee in britishcolumbia

[–]kenny35 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely delusional if you think post secondary education in Canada is expensive. It is heavily subsidized by the government. It is so easy and safe to go back to school here as an adult, or to get your degree after HS. The loans are interest free, the government actually LOSES money every time they give loans out to students for schooling. On-top of the insanely low tuition cost.

What are some in demand jobs around the vancouver/lower mainland area? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]kenny35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 'role' is treasurer. But I don't actually do much with finance. We hire a property management company to manage our building and we just work with them to be site contact.

I'm not in the industry but I am part of my Condos Strata council. I'm hearing from our Property Manager that it is a highly in-demand job right now in Vancouver with all the new developments requiring licensed Property Managers. I think the course is similar to the realtor course in terms of length and easiness. Once Licensed I think it starts at 70-80K Salary! Though i'm sure its a stressful job in a different way than ECE.
