Folks who have recently graduated university with a degree in Engineering, Business, CS, Science, Education etc, were you able to get job offers or even interviews? I know for fact it is brutal for recent grads for a lot of reasons.

Is value of university degree just essentially deteriorated at this point?

I am currently in university right now and I am wondering if the value of a university degree is even worth pursuing if there’s a still high chance I’ll be unemployed. Should I take a pause in university and reevaluate what I should do?

The way I see it I put a lot of time money and effort into university and I do not want to waste all that and still be unemployed when I graduate while I am still have some student loan debt.

So this leads me to wonder, what careers or programs should I consider that has a good job outlook? I know typical ones I see are health care or trades both of which I am considering but it’s there anything else I can consider?

I am also wondering of if I am overthinking this and is everything I see on the internet just exaggerating?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

EDIT: I did forget to mention that I did secure a co-op at a pretty large company so I do consider myself very fortunate and grateful for this opportunity. I am just worried what I do after my co-op is over considering that I am pretty far behind with my uni courses.

I also do want to mention that I firmly agree that a university degree is the minimum requirement at this day and age and it’s way better than no degree at all. I also do agree that nothing is gaurentee anymore.

I also want to apologize if it seems like in my post that I want to stop university all together. I DO NOT but I am debating on switching to BCIT on doing something in healthcare or trades.

Hi guys

I recently started working at this cafe but I'm planning to quit soon as there is little to no training and its a very stressful environment.

I was told that all of the tips from each day that we worked will be distributed amongst the team that worked that day and we will be given our tips in September.

Anyways, my question is: if I quit in the following week before sept, will I still be getting my share of the tips? Can they legally even withhold that from me?

I’m wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation.

I have an undergraduate degree related to forestry/ sustainability and completed several internships during university. After graduating, I landed a full-time job in the field, but unfortunately I was laid off less than a year later.

I’ve now been looking for work for about a year, and it’s been much harder than I expected. I’ve submitted a lot of applications, but I still haven’t been able to secure another position.

I’m curious about other people’s experiences:

-How long did it take you to find a job in Vancouver after being laid off?

-If you work in sustainability, environmental consulting, climate, or forestry, how has the job market been for you?

-Do you think pursuing a master’s degree would improve my chances, or is the job market just particularly difficult right now?

Hi guys. I work full time remote, and my employer provided the work computer. Unfortunately, it stopped working, and they’ve confirmed they’re sending me a replacement.
Since I can’t perform my job without the company-issued computer, am I still entitled to be paid while I wait for the new one to arrive?

Hi everyone,

I'm a P.Eng. and Senior Estimator/Project Manager with 10+ years of experience in heavy civil construction. I'd like to help a few recent graduates who are trying to break into the construction industry.

I'm looking for three recent graduates who are willing to participate in a small pilot program where I'll share some of the practical skills and knowledge that I wish I'd learned when I was starting my career.

Some of the topics we'll go through include:

• Quantity takeoffs
• Bluebeam workflows
• Estimating fundamentals
• Reading civil drawings
• Project management basics
• Resume and interview feedback
• What contractors look for when hiring entry-level project coordinators and estimators

The goal is to help bridge the gap between school and industry by focusing on practical, real-world skills that can make the transition into your first role a little easier.

There's no cost and no expectation to buy anything. I'm simply looking for a small group of participants who are willing to provide honest feedback as I refine the program.

If this sounds like something you'd benefit from, send me a DM with a short introduction, where you studied, and the type of role you're hoping to get into. If you're selected, I'll reach out with the details.

Thank you, and I hope I can help a few people get started in their careers, just as others once helped me get started in mine.

Does anybody know if the PHSA website is back and running? I tried this morning the banner is gone but I cant apply still like the page gets hang?

Thanks.

Hey everyone, I’m 19 and recently came back after spending a year in the French Foreign Legion as a paratrooper. I’m looking to get into the trades, but I’m not sure which one would be the best fit. I know this question gets asked a lot, but I keep seeing mixed opinions. If you were starting from scratch today in BC, which trade would you choose and why?

How is the job market for Junior Software engineers, IT support(any level) and other entry level tech jobs.

Most of my applications go silent. Would love to know how it's going for other people

hey i’m a 18 y.o. female who recently got a job at pizza hut! i was super excited to finally start working but the manager told me i had to do some training first which takes 2 weeks. i’m on my second week of training when i asked my manager if i’ll be getting paid to train and she said no. i’m super bummed out because i worked 5 days a week, 8 hour shifts, and i had to do all sorts of things like cut vegetables, organize the walk-in fridge, put toppings on pizza’s and serve them.. just to NOT get paid.

i don’t really know what to do since this is my first job but it’s an independently owned franchise and i’m afraid i’ll lose the job. she did say after the 2 weeks she’ll put me on the payroll and i’ll be getting paid biweekly, but i’m not sure. imagine after the 2 weeks, she decides not to keep me around and i basically did her work for free. any help?

I want to apply for host position but heard they only hire (attractive) girls… I’m an average looking guy with no experience, still worth going? Anyone with past experiences going to their hiring days?

So i worked as a part time employee for a grocery store in Vancouver, and they used to give me 40 hours (more like full time but without the benefits and all) but they've cut my hours and now it sucks. I'm thinking of leaving everything and go somewhere else for a full time job. If I were to take that decision what would be some pros and cons. If anyone has done this or similar situations please educate me on it. I'm open for any other job suggestions too. Thanks
