It is not easy to find the first job after grad... I grad with a comp sci degree with 5 semesters of Co-op too in June... i started looking job since Feb/Mar, (well, avaialble to work in May), and did ...

I looked into Langara/BCIT programs and I'm planning to take their design program next semester.  I dont really have any computer-art skills, because I mostly took art history, painting, sketching for my major.  Plus, the only computer related art course at UBC that I took..I h..ave to say there is no structure to that course at all..poorly taught.  Thats why I didnt go further in digital arts...but I hope its not too late to get into it now.

我覺得部份(其實是覺得大部份)時下年青人沒有的character就是恒心和堅持.或許真的有工作請,但是做了不久就說這份工不適合自己,自己不應該deserve這些工等等.有部份還會很短視,欠缺遠見,又或是自覺U-grad身份特別高. ...

I think thats just your own bias point of view.  I really dont think there is anything special about being University gradutes nowadays.  My frds that grad from BCIT found jobs and better pay than some grads from Universities.  Plus, there are lots of graduate out there like me thats really trying hard to find a job.

我發現近年既香港學生分兩類﹐一係就過份實際﹐興讀D咩就讀咩﹐唔岩讀都照讀 - 易運工呀嘛﹗

另一類就好似開topic呢位朋友仔﹐唔好怪我直言﹐你讀完大學都有21-22歲﹐唔通你真係畢業第一日先諗做乜工﹖

我絕對唔反對(基本上支持)任 ...

Acutally I have a lot of volunteer art experiences while I was in University.  But I guess a lot of company doesnt really care about 'ART' experiences cause they dont neccessarily relate to office.  and FYI, I did think about my future before hand,, but sometimes things just doesnt go the way you plan~ plus, the art industry in vancouver is so limited, and there are so many of us out there looking for the same things.

fine art = design? Then why does people need to go to design schools like Emily Carr?

Fine arts looks at all aspects of art, from sketching, painting, ceramics, etching, digital art......~
Emily Carr is famous, thats why people go there.  Plus everything they teach there are geared toward artistic development right from the beginning unlike univeristy.

咩就係囉~ 你無OFFICE EXPERIENCE人哋點請你呢?我唔係話你完全一無事處。你喺你既行頭可能好有經驗同才華。但係你會唔會入錯行遞錯application呢?你無OL經驗又唔係讀果科你係咩應該諗要一係進修為飯豌。一係做翻ART有關工作囉!vancouver個art scene窄唔係第一日既事~ 有幾何有人話VANCOUVER出名藝術呢?你唔早D計劃比自己PLAN B同PLAN C真解好蝕張囉!

May be you would like to consider some courses from Vancouver Film School. http://www.vfs.com/
Gaming, film industry are quite popular in Vancouver and in my opinion they do need design people, so you can consider la.

starting low and work the way up. i worked in moving company before.

if you don't care about the wage and just want to get more experience.. it's not hard to find one now .. I always can find job easily within a week..

it's really depends what u prefer? if you just look for big company with high wage.. but without experience. it's really good luck.. for u..

unless you know somebody there..
my first summer job is part time data entry before.. and got 1 month experience ..

before  I look for full time office  job..

well, everyone start from zero.  How do ppl get 'experience', they get it from their first job.  How are ppl going to gain experiences if your not given the chance to gain it in the first place.  Im pretty sure you didnt know everything when you first started.
Plus, I'm looking for an office job because its another alternative to gain other types of job experience that will be handy in the future~ its better than doing nothing at all~~ now that is call 'not planning for future'

Are the jobs you applied art-related?
I think before you apply for the job, you need to think why the employer wants to hire you and how you gonna stand out from the other applicants.....

if u want to get a office job, stop just going to lecture and work on some "artistic" volunteer! find some volunteer job that involves some simple office tasks. Be realistic is what u need to do

what? u expect the bosses out there would like to hire someone who just took courses in "art history, painting, sketching"???

I am an IT people, I was in your situation few years ago while .com bubble just broke. what I did was trying hard to find ANY volunteer/part-time job that are IT related.

Not every fresh grad got no working experience like you...many of them working part-time to pay for their tuition..and the office job that you applied.. they dun really need you to have previous office experience..but at least work experience..(maybe they want to call your previous employers to see if what type of person u are..for ex..coming to work on time.. hard worker.etc..) Even if you work at Starbucks, Safeway, or McDonald.. at least the employer knows that you have customer service experience..
