Resources: Laval Quebec and surrounding areas

 Please share with others.

IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE AREA AND PLAN TO LOOK FOR WORK NOW OR IN THE FUTURE:

1.    Volunteer.  There are volunteer resource links below.  Volunteering at least once a week will give you connections in the area who may be able to help you find work when you are ready.  At least 50% of all jobs are filled by "word of mouth."  It is essential to make local connections.  Volunteering gives back to the community.  It will give you a local reference on your resume.  Make sure you do a good job for them so it will be a good reference.  If your accent is a little different from the local accent, it may help you to better understand others and may help others to better understand you.


2.    If you do not speak French, do everything you can to learn French.  There are also resources below to help you with French.

3.     As much as you possibly can, learn a skill that is marketable locally.  There are many things you can learn online at no cost to yourself.  There are some things that have a cost.  If you have to pay, make sure it is legitimate and will provide you with the required certification.  (Do online review searches on the school or course.) There are links below to help you understand what are current high demand jobs in the area.  Some high demand jobs may not be listed, so ask locals who you get to know what seems to be in demand.  In addition, use spare time to gain additional knowledge about anything of worth.


 4.    When you begin to look for work, use as many resources as possible and apply for as many as you can.  Do NOT apply for one or two or a few and then wait to see.  Register with employment agencies and if possible, visit them in person.  


5.    Attend Job Fairs when possible.  


6.    Take a printed unfolded resume with you to job interviews.  Read about job interviews (links below) and practice interviewing with someone.  Check the link on creating a resume and have someone else review it to make sure it is easy to read and makes good sense.  Follow the resume format in the links.


7.     As you read through these resources, there is nothing here that should cost you money except perhaps attorneys and in that case, verify their legitimacy.  If someone in these links asks you for money, it could well be a scam.


8.    As you start to look for work, continue to volunteer at least one day a week.  Let them know you may have to leave suddenly if you get a job that conflicts.  Ask if you can use them as a reference.  Treat your job search like a full time job.  Put about 40 hours a week into your search.  Once you get a job, if possible, continue to volunteer at least a little somewhere.  It will pay big dividends.

9.      Be punctual.  Whether it is for your volunteer work, an interview (volunteer or regular job), your job, or anything else, be punctual.  15 minutes early is a good rule of thumb for punctuality.  Find out, make sure you understand what time you are to be someplace or do something.

10.    Be dependable.  Do what you are asked to do. Be where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there.  (If for any reason you cannot be some place on time or do something as instructed/asked, communicate this clearly as soon as possible.)

11.    Follow directions.  Do the job as instructed/asked (volunteer or regular employment).  If you have ideas for change/improvement, do not implement it unless you speak with your supervisor or the owner/manager and get clear permission to do something differently.  In some situations, you want permission in writing, and typically (unless you observe something unsafe or illegal) you never want to make any suggestions until you have: a.       been with the company/organization at least a year, and b. you understand why it’s being done the way you were instructed.  I had a Polynesian friend many years ago who was a great businessman and had a thriving restaurant.  One day I commented that I imagined it was easy getting good employees with all the Polynesians who lived in the area.  He firmly said “NO.”  He never hired a Polynesian who knew how to cook, because they always wanted to cook it their way, and not his.  This is an important concept in any job. As much as possible, do the best job you can, following the directions exactly, and be pleasant and friendly to everyone you work with.  This may sound unfair, but it is true.  If you are a refugee or immigrant, you may need to do an exceptionally good job to prove your worth as an employee to the company or person who hires you.

12.    Again, remember that in a volunteer position, part of your reason for doing this is to get a good reference, so do a really good job.

13.    As you identify potential employers, learn about their business (what do they do, who are their costumers?).  Try to get to know people in the organization personally.  Sometimes the secretary or receptionist is one of the most important person to know and have a positive relationship with.

14.    Always carry a typed card with you in your pocket or purse.  It should contain your name, phone number, e-mail address. languages spoken well and any you are learning.  Include your citizenship status if you are Canadian...or your residence status, or that you have a work permit. Give these to anyone who may know of a position for you and is willing to pass it on to a potential employer.

15.    There are many different types of resources on this guide.  Read through the whole thing at least once so you know what is available here.  New resources are frequently added.

16.    Hygiene – if you are homeless, this can be terribly difficult.  If you become malodorous, you may be used to it and may not notice.  When you go to an employment agency, go into volunteer, apply for a job or have an interview…and of course going into work after getting a job, do your best to take a bath or shower before going in and wear clean clothing.  Again, this can be terribly difficult for some but do your best.  You may need to find a place where you can do these things or someone who can help.

Click on the links to locate the information.  In many cases you will find multiple links to choose from once you have clicked on the link on this page.  This provides multiple options and keeps the links more current as URLs sometimes change making links obsolete.  Look for the link with the same or most similar title to the page/link you have clicked on below.  When possible, also look for the free resources.  

At the bottom of the page you will also find a place for comments.  Please use this as a place to connect with others, make suggestions of new resources to add or request resources to find.

Be wary of potential scams.  Be wary of anything that looks too good to be true.  It usually is.

Please share this guide with anyone else who might benefit from it's information.

HOLLAND CODE CAREER QUIZ


ONLINE CAREER RESOURCES Hollandcodes.com since 1995


Employment:

It may be impossible to personally go to every place you apply but go to as many as you are able.  This may help you to stand out.

A lot of hiring is word of mouth (at least 50% in most parts of Canada and the US), when you talk with a potential employer, ask if they know of anyone else who is hiring.  Ask friends and neighbors if they know of anyone who might be hiring.  If you know of anyone hiring, please post in the comments below.

When you apply or interview for a job, do not take someone with you.  Often employers might wonder if you need someone to come with you to apply for a job, will you be able to come and work on your own.

In the information below, you will also see links to do's and don'ts.  Take a look at those as well.  Learn from other's mistakes and knowledge.

Sometimes you can get a temporary or part time job that will lead to a better job or the same job as a permanent and/or full-time employee.  This can often/especially be true of employment agencies.  As much as possible, meet and get to know the people at the employment agency personally.

If you are not working, consider using some of your time to volunteer.  This may give you good experience and connections in addition to helping others in need.  There is a section on volunteering below.  For those not from Canada, there is another huge bonus from volunteering.  You MAY need a work reference for some jobs, and volunteer references can help.

If you are considering self-employment, verify that what you are thinking about doing is legal AND verify that it is legal for YOU to do it.  Also, be very wary of scams.  There are a lot of people out there who would be glad to take your money and promise you earnings for something that will rarely or even never become profitable.

Be willing to take a lower paying beginner job if you do not get the job you want quickly.  It is often to get a better job when you are working and have a little longevity and good local work references. 

When you go to apply for a job in person or go for an interview, dress one step above the job requirements.  Look good but do not over dress.  In some cases, you may be asked to go to work immediately.  There will be a link below on how to dress.  I've both interviewed for a job a number of times and interviewed people to work for me many times.  Having people come to an interview, dressing below the requirements for the job is one of the best ways to be turned down (in the mind of the interviewer) quickly.  Always be at least 15 minutes early for an interview, but not more than 30 minutes.

As you click on the links below, you will find many additional links.  Some of the best links will be further down on the list.

Network Marketing  I've hesitated adding networking marketing to this resource guide because it can be so easy to spend money you cannot afford to lose and get ripped off.  On the other hand, there are some great advantages.  You can do this from almost anywhere and legal status is generally not an issue (however, always check on local laws).  Never get involved with something where the cost of the product is more than you would pay locally and never get involved with something that is not practical or where there is not at least a niche need.  Be wary of low quality products or services. Stay far away from Get Rich Schemes.  They are almost always designed to make someone else rich at your expense.  Please also see: risks of network marketing and network marketing scams.  If you are interested in a company, always do a review.  Type the name of the company and the word "reviews" into your search engine.  Read the reviews.  Click here for more on top network marketing companies.  Sometimes the best are the old reliable, but not very exciting options.  For some, developing and selling your own skill or product may be the best option...if its good and you market it well.  [you can check out  marketing tips for products and services]  If you can, small scale farming may also be a great option.  You can click here and hereIs Multi-Level Marketing A Scam?

Side hustles are another one of those areas where you need to be extremely careful.  There are lots and lots of scams.  If you are thinking about working with a company, go to a search engine and type the name of the company and the word  "reviews".  Read reviews from multiple sites.  Also be extremely careful about anything that asks for money upfront.  It may or may not be legitimate.  Do thorough research before jumping into anything.

Work from home jobs  There are many legitimate work from home jobs.  There are also many scams.  Be wary of job offers that ask for money and be wary of online or work from home jobs that ask for your bank account number.  If a bank account number is required for payment, provide an account number where you have the minimal amount in the account required to keep it open and only use this account to receive payment from this particular company.  This could be a savings account associated with your checking account.  You may also want to talk with your bank about how to best set this up to protect you from someone withdrawing money from your account.

You can also use a search engine to look for reviews for a particular company or web page.

Family History/Genealogy:


5 Benefits Of Knowing Your Family History

Did You Know That Learning About Your Family History Can Actually Increase Your Happiness? 

How much do you truly know about your family history? Besides the occasional school project that had you research your family tree, you may not have done an in-depth study.

Learning about your family history is important and can reveal many surprising things that you didn’t know. You can either do a genealogy search online or sit down with members of your family and listen to their stories.

No matter how you chose to gather the information, you’ll end up having a deeper appreciation for who you are and where you come from. Here are five life-changing benefits of knowing your family history.

1. It Gives You A Sense Of Identity

Nothing is more eye-opening than learning about who you are. Discovering more about your ancestors, celebrating family traditions, embracing your culture, and understanding where you came from can open your eyes to how beautiful and unique you are. It can also give your sense of self-worth and belonging a boost.

2. It Makes You More Resilient

Let’s face it, life is hard. But back in the day, life was even more so. More likely than not, your past family members probably faced terrible tragedies and heartache. They may have faced things that seem almost impossible to overcome. But they did overcome them. Learning about their stories and how they got through difficult times can give you the courage you need to keep going and make you more resilient when you’re facing challenges.

3. It Helps You Connect With Others

Learning about your family history can impact the way you connect with others because it allows you to connect with people in the past, present, and future. And forming connections with others is crucial to a fulfilling life.

4. It Makes You A Better Human

Your ancestors’ stories can shape you into a more grateful, happy, empathetic, and compassionate version of yourself. For example, you may discover that your great grandfather lived during the Great Depression and that he had to work hard to provide for his family, which may inspire you to work hard as well. Whatever stories are glistening in your treasury of family history, now is the time to unearth them.

Related: How Knowing Your Family History Can Save Your Life

5. It Helps You Make Good Health Choices

Have you been filling out a patient history form before seeing your healthcare provider and your mind went blank when it asked if cancer, high blood pressure, or diabetes ran in your family? Well, to avoid leaving those blank spaces in the future, learning about your ancestors can give you a lot of information on what health concerns run in your family. More importantly, it shows you what you are at risk for. Knowing this information can help you make good choices regarding your health and help you lead a healthy lifestyle.

It's never too late to learn about your family history.

& 6. I’ll add one more.  It helps to connect your posterity and your future posterity to you as you record information about your own life.

Bibliotheque et Archives Nationales Du Quebec



FamilySearch.org online and free for anyone FamilySearch has 4,600 local facilities in 126 countries where anyone can access genealogical records and receive personal assistance with their family history. These centers include the world-famous FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake City, large regional facilities in places like Mesa, Arizona, and Los Angeles, California, and smaller centers that are usually found inside Latter-day Saint meetinghouses (to include Eastern Canada).

Family history centers are free and open to the public and staffed by knowledgeable volunteers.  Each facility offers both novices and experienced family historians the tools and resources to learn about their ancestors.

Find ways to serve, save, and make money now so you can have the business and life you want, and help others.

For some of you looking for a job, you may not need a job, you just need money.  While a job is one way, there are other ways to make money.  You can create a business, self-employment, etc.

 

For some of you who are searching for money, you may not need money, you need the things money can buy.  There are other (legal, ethical, moral, and honest) ways to get the things you need.  You can barter or trade for what you need.  You can exchange your labor or a product/commodity for what you need.

If you wish to improve your life and the lives of others, it will require work, inspiration, and love.   Please take the time do drink deeply from the wells of knowledge and wisdom available.  There are no quick fixes.  There are no shortcuts.  


When you want knowledge and understanding as badly as you wanted air, you won't have to ask anyone to give it to you.

"Hang on the walls of your mind the memory of your successes. Take counsel of your strength, not your weakness. Think of the good jobs you have done. For whenever excellence is recounted, it is increased."
