RE-POSTING STORY
Friends,
I would like to tell you story of one of my friends who landed this year he applied in FSW 2013.
• He is Mechanical Engineer and he was targeting for PNG (petroleum and gas) related jobs, so he landed in Alberta.
• PNG sector is down as oil prices have come down and there is recession in this field
• His friend who is also Mechanical Engineer went back to Hyderabad learned programming switched to IT and now working in Vancouver!
• Then I asked do IT jobs are in abundance then he said it's all about your timing and how good you convince interviewer. Also he got job in IT as an entry level programmer 22$/hour.
• As my friend wanted to do job in PNG ONLY , he applied and got reply that industry is DOWN
• His funds dried up he started working in Walmart.
• Started to make local connections while working literally as a labourer.
• Still he did labourer job very well and one of his manager referred him to his Canadian friend.
• Even if he did NOT knew anything in that field only because of reference my friend got job in PNG.
• My friend said there are JOBS in ALL FIELFDS in Canada your first job I mean first decent job in your field is difficult. Once you get first job in your field then its smooth story.
• My friend said even if you do odd jobs do them with full of energy, zeal and enthusiasm, its best way to get connections.
• After 3 months of Walmart job as a labourer he is working smoothly in office 40 hour job now owns his new Car and got settled in Alberta waiting for next BOOM.
• Patience and connections never loose.
• He said his one friend went back while doing labourer job , one friend got job in IT after going to Hyderabad and learning programming language and one guy he knows got job in 2 months after landing.
• He said every one has to struggle some struggle more some less and these struggling days are memory because after that SMOOTH ride same as its in INDIA.
