[G219]Getting Job In Canada

by M6.net Web Hosting, M6.

Work for many people is changing, and you have to admit that it's like a silent revolution occurring for many of us who do our job on computers and the Internet. It's not just a trend; more and more people are working freelance or simply getting things done at the home office. The Internet has given us the power to do our work in our own space, still connected to others of importance, all while saving much time and many resources that were still necessary a decade ago.

I'm a creative writer working for an Internet company. I can write my articles and stories on my laptop computer no matter where I am, then send them as files via my email or messenger service. My parents are both academics working at universities in the local area. The funny thing is, and the incredible power of freedom that they've unwittingly (or not?) achieved, is that they hardly ever go into their offices at the schools. They get everything done in the comfortable space of their home.

This has so many positive repercussions when looking at the changing paradigm of the modern-day workforce. First of all, it is empowering many people in that they can do their work by their own volition. No one is standing next to them in the office spouting off small-talk about the weekend or telling them what they should be doing, so they can get on with the job at hand with limited distraction. My parents are both workaholics so it also means they can just get up and work whenever they feel like it; there isn't any restriction brought about by the old issue of transport. This has huge implications. How much time is wasted in a day commuting to and from your place of employment? Consider the amount of fossil fuels that are saved, and consequently the environmental benefits of not having to travel everyday. The amount of time available to do actual work increases massively as I'm sure you know some people who spend whole hours travelling to and from their jobs.

Some would argue that one could feel isolated if they worked at home alone. The truth is however, you are more connected than ever. My father has three-way work conferences on webcams using voice-over IP. You can see and hear your colleagues, as well as having the option of writing messages to them in both email and messenger services. Sharing information is easy as you can send files and links to websites with a click of a button.

As I said before, the issue of time is greatly affected by no longer having to travel. It goes further than this. Fifty years ago our grandparents had to clock-in at the beginning and end of the day. Not anymore. Say you have to work a standard 8 hour day. It's up to you how you construct your schedule. This means that you can go to the gym in the morning, and pick up the kids after school without any questions being asked. You get to work out your routine so that the proper amount of time for work gets completed, but within your preferred time periods. The result of this newfound freedom is happiness, and we all know a happy worker is a productive and creative worker.

Freelance work from home is now becoming a more prominent type of job structure in our society. You can be your own boss. This was unheard of a century ago for anyone but the millionaires. The hierarchy of the age-old company dissolves for you as you specialise in an area of expertise which companies and individuals require to achieve their success. Working from home means you can save a lot of capital that used to be deemed necessary when running a business. I'm talking about rental fees for office space, not to mention office equipment.

The Internet is taking the idea of workplace to a new level. If you're on the road, in a foreign country, or at the park, you can still get things done. Laptops have long-lasting batteries, and new wireless broadband Internet services connect you to the World Wide Web whenever you are in the proximity of a ‘hotspot'. It would have been astonishing to be able to do work at the beach and have the means to send it to your employer or customer. Oh, how the working life is changing! This means life in general is evolving as work is such an important element for human survival and achievement. Are you tired of your old dead-end job? Get creative with your thinking and join the new generation of people who don't just work to live. Live to work.

Stretch your responsibility?
Always say yes to your boss?
Positive attitude toward your job?
Put pride and passion in what you do?
See chanllenges as opportunity?
Do more than necessary?

If you believe all of the above are true then you better not read further and get back to your work. What I'm going to tell you is something more practical, at least from my own experience.

Having been struggled in the office environment for more than 20 years, I have witnessed people gone up and down, fought to get to the top post, backstabbed each other, played dirty political tricks, butt kissing, brown nosing..

If you want to get to the top spot, there are a number of essential skills you need to master and manipulate along the way, you couldn't avoid it. All these skills will save your time enormously and produce excellent results.

The following are the skills you need to master. Please note that I did not make up for it but all these are what I have seeing people doing and with great results:

Always choose high profile task preferably task that require you to present in front of upper management, that give you a great chances to get visible.

Networking This is a very "technical" task, imagine you have to go every floors of your office just to say 'hi' for no reason or cut into the middle of any conversation while a group of people you don't know at all is having an discussion.

Know the importancy of a meeting Before going into an meeting make sure that you check the attendees list, you do not want to involve in those working meeting, that will only going to give you more work, none visible work. You only want to meet those people that can influence your future in your company. If you are forced to attend any working meeting, just attend the first or last 10 minutes and tell them you are busy with other works.

The ART of letting people know "I AM BUSY"
- If you need to collect a printout from a printer, do not WALK there but RUN (or walk at a very fast pace). While you run, there are some magic words you need to say, you need to say "SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" all the way to the printer. As if you are late for some important meeting.
- Out of nothing, you can just stand up and RUN (direction is not important) and then return to your own desk and pretending typing something on your keyboard, as if you have forgot to send out some important e-mails. Don't forget to repeat the magic word while you are running.
- If you are just came back from a meeting, always hold your laptop up on your shoulder to get notify and don't forget to breath loud and heavily as if you are very tired.
- Stretching. This one different from office-egornomic strecthing. You just need to stand up with your hands at your waist, take a deep breath and exhale very loudly (very very loud), and then follow by the sound "chu, chu, chu, chu, chu, chu" (6 times). Repeat this exercise once every hour. If you have done this exercise enough, the sound that came out from your mouth will sound exactly like "bu sy, bu sy, bu sy". Naturally..
- If your office phone do not have a headset, request for one now. Always have your headset on eventhough you are not talking on the phone. People who have the headset on always looks busy.
- If you are talking on the phone, don't sit on your chair, STAND UP, with one hand at your waist and another hand's index finger pointing at 12 o'clock direction. As if you are having a very heated discussion. I have seen people doing this but didn't realise that the phone cord is not connected.
- Always look at the monitor and mumbling to yourself, like "Oh my god! you can't do that !!", "Oh another idiot !!", "See! I've told you, you just don't believe me.."
