Re: Let Me Gist You About My New Job In Canada by Konquest: 10:16pm On Nov 18, 2021
ModestGal:
So I got a customer care job in a health company paying$15, but before getting the job, I already contacted some bakery job agencies. And two weeks in they called me for a job at bakery. The bakery pays $18. Stupid me left my customer care job, rushed to$18 bakery job, it's a 12hours job.
In this new job, we work straight for hours without breaks, omoh, this thing wan kill me.

Now the gist

Omoh, after working for 3hours, e be like say I don dey see heaven. No breaks or rests in between. When one man(African but white in colour) see say I wan die, he con whistle for my hear say, make I say I wan go use rest room.
Immediately,I quickly ran to meet the woman in charge say, I wan pee
She granted me permission,and I went to pee

After I rest finish,I came back,after 15min, the woman beside me (Chinese), asked if I wanted WATER, and I should go and drink. To cut it short,most of them were giving me excuses to rest,and I don't know why everyone there seems so nice

Now the KOKO
The Koko be say, the women we work together,told me they don't like going for washroom breaks because it's too far and they will need to climb stairs,and prefer to wait till we close from work.
So for my mind, I'm like, shee this one think say, na pee I go pee,lol
I con ask them,are they tired, they said they are not, smiling
Now, when we were going home,one of them said tomorrow is her birthday,lol. Ask me how old is she? My brothers and sisters, she's turning 65years old, she's CHINESE.
Na like that them dey say their ages, most of them are above 50yrs. I Kon dey wonder if na steel dey their body, because I no understand. I'm usually tired after 1hour of working, seriously tired o, no be shereshere tired. And funny part is I'm fit,not fat
Some of Theseus women are fat o, but the Asians grandma's are slim

Let me go back to work please
I will gist you guys later

Lol... This is quite hilarious.

You impulsively chose the bakery 'cos of the hot free loaves of Ontario bread you thought you would get or what?! grin

It's part of the learning curve for you though as NO knowledge is a
waste here.

Make the move back to customer care ASAP. Then move on to get other certifications.

Ciao.

That's the purpose of the post, to make you laugh, but I guess I'm bad at comedy, CX no one except you is seeing it that way. But if I make one person laugh,it's still an achievement. Love you too

@op did you get this job from Nigeria b4 moving over there? I just got connected with an agent that can get me a job there with my bsc qualification before moving over there. Full payment after getting my visa. Another question, can one be working and schooling at the same time?

Chief stop looking at it based on naira and Nigeria, that is minimum wage and her expenses will in CAD not naira.

Anyway I think the OP was shortsighted for moving to the factory jump. the customer care job will have more opportunities for advancement and is less strenuous on the body.

uchaymart:
OP $15 per hour as salary suppose motivate you oo. Malo go oo. Naija don stiff oo. Things hard die

$15 * 12= $180 per day shocked

$180 * 20days=$3,600
$3,600 * #530===#1,908,000 shocked

Op, if you hear bakery work in Canada...run grin.

I have a million things I really would have liked to type, maybe I'd modify this post later but this one thing I'd say now, don't get sucked into the survival job mentality here. Go back to school please! Research on courses that are viable and key in without wasting time. There are hidden treasure courses that would catapult you to living the good life if you discover them, please do due diligence and find a way to start as soon as possible. Just my two cents sha...and btw, there are other places in Canada asides Ontario (I won't want people to attack me, so I wouldn't go deep with this)

Please I need you to go deep with this so I can learn and others here too.. Please

Try and get back to the customer care job asap,more rooms for advancement there

Well, to be honest there are a million and one ways to get to success and advices have to be customized to the particular situation of the seeker. I would just say be very selective of the company you keep when you land, it would determine if you would be successful or not (assuming part of your definition of success is being financially comfortable).

For example, I studied mechanical engineering in Nigeria and when I landed, I took a diploma course called Welding Engineering Technology. It prepared me for being a quality control personnel and I would say it's a very lucrative career for someone who is smart and pays great attention to tiny details. You could end up being in QC, NDT, engineering among other paths.

Someone in the medical line could look into a course like Sonography. Someone in management might look into business analytics. I mean, there are loads of courses out there that are lucrative but require sacrifice to get into. In my case, I basically sacrificed my first two years here (when people we landed together were buying houses and new cars) but I'm reaping the results now. One thing is, if the foundation is faulty here and you look for shortcuts, you would definitely lose out at the end. Take the pain to research a career that has growth paths, sacrifice everything to study it right, get the right certifications....and you'd be on the path to success.

How long person go take dey do low paying jobs? After some years, person go still dey the same level. This obodo oyinbo, you gats wise up. I know it's hard because your mates will be buying new flashy cars on loans and living big while you look like a sufferhead...but the difference will show in five years!


And for those still outside Canada, don't let any agent scam you with any yeye story. Canada is freaking hard to get into and 99.9% of those people don't have what it takes. Even we wey dey here no sabi way in again since Express Entry became another story. Don't let any agent use your money to drink tea with, jump online and research student routes yourself.


It might take me time to reply any comments on this so please bear with me.
