Cleaning jobs

How is the cleaning industry? Air bnb ? Cleaning companies etc ? Feel free to give me all details. Look to hear what the cleaning business is like from people who clean or operate a business or who have a general idea of how it is.

The world is changing and will we be on the right side ?

As the caption states.

Right now we are witnessing the biggest wealth transfer maybe in history. The days of the Petro dollar ruling the world is now done. America has used their dollar that has nothing behind it (in 1971 gold and was taken off the gold standard by Nickson meaning there was no commodity backing the dollar… it’s just been a IOU). They’re in serious amounts of dead and they’re not building within their country. All money is being spent on war.

Jamaicas issue is the IMF. We owe way to much to them and I’m interested to hear the locals thoughts on my next comment. How has the state of Jamaica been under an American regime ? (Obv not directly please don’t take it literal but heavily influenced).

In my opinion I feel it’s better Jamaica turns to the Chinese instead of signing up with America. BRICS is here, countries are forming unions and ready to work together to dethrone America.

A better Jamaica means paying off the IMF and breaking free of America!

Hey everyone, anyone in Toronto successfully learn mandarin in class?

I’ve seen people say to take the hsk course and I also seen a business course as well. My main purpose would be for travelling and doing business and learning the culture. Would the business one be the best or does the HSK cover all of that for me ? Please let me know thank you!

There are bubbles of people in Canada that vehemently deny that there is any nepotism in the Canadian job market. And yet, the signs are all around us.

I go to the library and the pages there don't know how to operate computers. I'm someone who's self taught software as well as hardware expert and can build a computer from scratch and have experience as a user support technician despite no formal training but I'd never be good enough for either a page intern position, nor a user support technician position in today's job market.

I just opened a new bank account and their banking app was an abomination, FULL to the brim with UX design errors. I'm someone who has worked as a UX designer on projects but I guarantee you this banking company would send me an auto rejection email right away than fire their existing designers for designing their app so horrendously that it puts the entire banking industry to shame.

I've even tried to learn better interviewing skills by attending specialized classes to help in my job hunt. The mentor there was absolutely clueless and spoke in broken English (no hate; English is not my first language either) but as someone who has, at the peak of my career, been on interview panels and speak fluent English, if I apply for this job at this company to be a specialist, they will send me a rejection email saying, "We moved forward with better candidates".

These are the better candidates that I see around me. The ones who made it through the process yet can't do their jobs worth shit. Canada got so lost in a mad rush for certifications, that it doesn't give a shit about merit anymore. Add nepotism on top, especially in government offices, which have mandatory checks and balances implemented against that - but where there is a will, there is a way, and you'll figure out pretty quickly that the Canadian job market doesn't care if you have what it takes to do the job they're advertising.

"It's not WHAT you know, it's WHO you know" is so true in Canada. I'm a Permanent Resident and I feel so miffed that Canada is like this because I'm not used to this. It feels unfair to me, it feels disrespectful towards actual talent to me. But that's the bitter reality and I know I can't do anything about it. Then, cynicism takes over and I think, "Maybe Canada deserves to drown in the productivity crisis of its own making where it prioritizes hiring the wife's friend's niece over someone who actually worked in that field". But then, it breaks my heart knowing that this country has so much potential laid to waste just because the hiring practices here have forever been broken. When I came here, I wanted to contribute to this great country and feel like a part of it's workforce. Now, I just see a broken market which outputs just enough productivity to drag itself on and justify its existence. Talent and experience are optional.

EDIT: Damn! Looks like the nepo hires are here in full force!
