I study International relations, how do I search for future jobs?

We Answered:

You would apply at international companies that do business in your area. If you have special language skills this would be a plus. I don't think there would be a specific job related to your degree but if you have an understanding of how international companies operate they could have a position for you. What did you learn during your 4 years at the university studying international relations that would be valuable to a company?

A teen in Vancouver needs a job! Any advice?

We Answered:

"Hi"......I just looked at your profile and even visited your site....and I must admit that it's very well done !

Just a suggestion for you but why would you not ( especially with your expertise ) start your own " putor nerd" type business and I mean that nicely !

You'd be surprised at how many older types simply don't know the Internet or can stick handle themselves properly around a computer !

Place an add in the papers wherein you will teach basic internet procedures or better still get computers running properly !

Leave flyer's at apartment complexes and seniors buildings , things like that.

It would entail some newspaper advertising dollars but I'm sure you could charge $25.00 an hour (minimum) and that's just for what you are saying in your site...only you'll be doing it in person and charging a well earned fee.!

Most people don't even know how to Use a "Recovery Disc"

As I say just a suggestion and "Good Luck" ! *S* (Michael C...)

Hunting for job on visit visa in Canada( ex-vancouver )?

We Answered:

Canadian government may refuse it.

Canada is bad!

I spent over three years looking hard for a job in Canada through the internet. I studied a lot about the Country. I got to know a lot about its culture, geography, history, politics and so on.

It was very hard but I got to find a job approved by HRSDC, in February of this year, to work in Edmonton, Alberta.

I submitted all required documentation to the Canadian consulate. For my surprise the immigration officer refused my work permit. He said that I do not have strong economic ties to my country.

Is it not prejudice? Is the opportunities only for riches? Is not an unemployed an human?

I tried to go legally, I did everything within the law. I had employer and place to stay. But what was the advantage of doing that legally? None - Canadian government refused my visa!

What do you like to do?
If you like skateboarding or snowboarding, hang around an independent skate shop and get to know the owners. They may hire you for odd jobs and pay you "Under the table". If you are really good at skating, ask around for some sponsors and start signing up for competitions and compete for the prize money. My nephew, now 16, has been doing this since he was 12. My brother met friends who own their own skate shops and worked for them helping them sell stuff at X-Games gigs, now he is a manager for Zumeez stores.
If you like working with tools, working on cars, or working with wood or metal in shop class, ask around at independent shops for a job as an apprentice and learn the trade.
If you like digging in the dirt, ask around for work with a landscaping crew, or get a lawnmower and hire yourself out to mow lawns. Some people would still rather pay the neighborhood kid than a stranger to mow lawns.
If you like doing your own thing, scrounge around the neighborhood and collect recycling. You can do this whether you have a regular job or not. Recycling centers here in California are paying $1.78 per pound for aluminum, or you can ask for the 5-10 cent per can or bottle recycling deposit back. We collect about $30 a month on a regular basis just by collecting the bottles and cans we find walking the dogs in our neighborhood every day. The hardworking people who roam the streets and dig through the garbage cans collect about $100 a day this way. You might want to call up recycling centers and ask how much they pay for newspaper or cardboard. There's a recycling center in Los Angeles I know of that is paying up to $75 a ton for clean newsprint paper. I used to earn my gas money when I was in high school by collecting recycling.
If you like selling things, there are lots of things you can make and sell at flea markets and yard sales. We refurbished some free bar stools and sold them for $10 each. We would have sold more if we had more. I know a kid who finds bicycle parts being thrown away, fixes them up and repairs them, paints them really cool and sells them. I know another guy who paid for his tech school training by fixing computers for his friends and selling refurbished computer parts. I know of another kid who won several awards, including trophies and scholarships, for repairing and fixing up his grandfather's old tractor that had been unused for years.
My brother and his friends hung out at a friend's surf shop all the time and ended up working for him shaping surfboards. They also hung out at their friends' dad's gasoline service station and ended up working for him as their other part-time job. Talk up the dads of your friends and get to know your neighbors. Make yourself useful. Be willing and unafraid to start at the bottom. One of the most successful radio disc jockeys practiced his schpiel at home and worked sweeping floors at the radio station. When one of the dj's showed up to work drunk, the kid filled in and was an instant hit. Sometimes the best foot in the door is first to volunteer and be there when opportunity knocks.
Good Luck to you.
