a resume is just the product of an effort of BS

you need to put some EFFORT to sell yourself, dude

what I see right now is that you are just sitting at home doing nothing, not even trying hard to find a job and complaining you have no skill and education

even some china immigrants who can't speak english + poor education can find a job in Canada, so what's so hard to find a job if you are willing to put in the effort?

you still don't get what I mean....
I am saying, you need to put more effort to make your resume look good

if I am the employer, and I have two resume in front of me
both of them do not have working experience
if I am to choose between these two, who would I pick?
I would definitely choose the one who has a better looking resume

I have seen some resume of my friend which was so bad and made me O咀

what kind of job are you looking for exactly? you have never mention what do you want to do

but I am so sure that Starbucks, McDonalds, T&T, and Daiso are always hiring

嘉嘉

Because they have connections? (social networking, nepotism, 裙帶關係 ...)

Getting a job in Canada is about who you know, NEVER about what you know.

I do not agree.....
at least for sure in the company that I work at
yes it's easier if you know someone, but doesn't mean if you don't know anyone you would never have a chance

for my first 3 part time jobs, I did not have connection with anyone in the workplace
I just got it

every single job has something to learn
it's not only about aquiring skills from a job
but it's also about learning to communicate, to work as a team effectively/work independently, and many other lessons that you cannot learn at school

you also need to be realistic here
not everyone is so lucky to have a first job that is something that he/she wants to do, including me
but it is a lot more helpful to have some kind of working experience to back you up
my first 3 jobs was just my 踏腳石 that had nothing related to my study, but they helped me to gain experience

sigh, I am speechless.....

I partly agree ...

You don't need to know anyone in McDonald's, Starbucks, Safeway to work there.

Safeway is always hiring people for $8.50 an hour (no chance to get wage increase for years).  And ...

yeah....
as long as being realistic and not picky
I don't see how it is so hard to find a job

I worked at min wage before too, at T&T and Daiso
it was very little money, but at least it was a start for me

嘉嘉

because i'm thinking to get a job
at least $10/hr
tiffiant 發表於 2009-9-12 22:52

yet you say you are realistic
you are not

with no working experince you expect to get $10/hr?
I am not saying there's no entry level job that pays $10/hr
but I would say starting from min wage is always the easiest to begin with, just that you refuse to give it a try

嘉嘉

why don't you cut down your expenses when you are saying you have no money

嘉嘉

唉...
依o的係唔係就係叫未學行先學走....
無經驗都仲要嫌三嫌四......
