 What's up everyone takedown here welcome back to another video today I'm gonna be doing another video for my career journey and today I'm gonna be sharing with you a new career opportunity that I'm going to be pursuing. Let's get right into this So I'm extremely excited because I just got the email today saying that I am selected to take their recruitment Process and do all the steps for that. I'm gonna be sharing a lot more of that in a seconds But before I share what job I'm going to be pursuing I just want to talk about CVSA for a second because as you guys know if you see my previous career journey videos I did state that I wanted to be a CVSA officer and that is still my intention But right now because of COVID-19 the recruitment opportunities for CVSA are closed until further notice I've seen this available and I applied to it and I'm happy to say that I got in so I'm still gonna be in the future looking forward to Applying and hopefully being selected for CVSA, but for now I'm gonna be taking an approach for this opportunity So now the reason why I decided to look into new career opportunities Back five months ago as you guys remember I was working at a casino for security overnight shift And I did love the job. However, five months ago due to COVID-19 our casino was forced to close Meaning I was not working anymore, and it absolutely sucked. I did make a video talking about it And it's been a really rough five months, but just a week ago So I've known this for about a week now We were just told that the casino is planning on opening soon Of course, we have to wait for the province and health Canada and Everybody to basically give the green lights But we've been told that it will be opening and it's likely looking at about another month or two until the casino opens But it's likely not gonna be going back to for us a 40-hour work week It's likely gonna be a 32-hour work week, and that's for full-timers part-timers like myself We're lucky if we're gonna get 16 to 24 hours a week Which is not the greatest and once I heard that it's been a very stressful week since I found out Also, since it's gonna be whenever they open it back It's gonna be full-timers that are called first since I'm a part-timer And I'm third from the bottom on the sonority list that means I'm gonna be called back last Meaning even if it does open in a month or two It's probably gonna be another month or two after that until I were to get called back so like I said I've known this for about a week and it's been really stressful and I've had a few bad days and So I've just been applying to jobs seeing what's out there seeing what interests me There's a few things that I really wanted some other things that I applied to and I did have a few job interviews and I looked into a couple of positions and I was offered to Have an interview and stuff with these different companies However, some of them I just had to say no, it's not for me. Sorry and Pass on it. Some of them were just minimum wage jobs, which I'm not really interested in right now some of them were Really really far into the city So it would take me at least an hour and a half to get there on a good day Sometimes two hours if it's really heavy traffic going through the city can be in insane Plus paying for parking and it wasn't too much more than minimum wage So there's a few positions that I had to just basically say no, thank you Thanks for the opportunity, but I just can't take this job right now So it's been really stressful However, one of the jobs that I really really wanted because not only is the pay grates But it's something in the field that I really wanted to get into is what recently emailed me just today And now what the position is that I have applied to and I am selected for the recruitment process is To become a correctional officer. I've been looking into this for a while I did apply back in I think late 2019 and I was selected for January to take the entrance exam However, I couldn't afford to lose a shift at the time So I couldn't make and attend the exam back in January However, everything right now due to COVID-19 is online So instead of me having to run all over to Get the interview done the exams done and everything in the recruitment process I can do everything at home Online so it's way easier for me to get into it and I'm extremely excited to get the process started So now what the recruitment process is for the correctional officers The first thing is obviously what I've already done and that is applying online submitting your application The second thing is what I'm currently on I'm going to be starting this very soon And that is taking the first test, which I believe is almost like an entrance exam The third step is a another test, which is also going to be online The fourth thing is going to be an interview and I've already been told that it's going to be on something like Skype It's going to be all online, which is way easier for me It means I don't have to drive somewhere to be able to do the interview The fifth thing is a background check, but since I work at a casino I already know my security clearance is pretty high So I'm not worried about that whatsoever And the final step is if you're qualified, you're going to be offered the position And I am definitely going to be keeping you guys in the loop for this recruitment process But just like CSA when it comes to the exams I'm not going to be answering and saying what questions are going to be on the exam because I'm going to be kicked out Obviously, but I am going to be Hopefully giving you guys some tips whenever I do the exam some tips of what you can expect to take During the exam. So I'm really excited for this opportunity I can't wait to start the pay is insane And I'm extremely happy with what the pay is going to be on hoping everything works out The pay is 27 to 32 dollars an hour Which is incredible. So just to be offered an opportunity to become a correctional officer Is something that really excites me and is very interesting and I can't wait to start And I'm just hoping it all works out. But like I said Even if cbsa opens up in a year or two I'm still going to be applying to that because that's my end all goal and I've mentioned that here on my channel It's just to become a correctional officer right now Given this opportunity is something that I really decided to do not only because the past five months I have been working because the casino is closed But it's something that I could really see being a career if cbsa didn't work out And I've mentioned before about a backup plan This is something I could see me doing as a backup plan Now I still do not know whether this is going to be a full-time or part-time position So I'm just going to say it right now if it is a full-time position Unfortunately, even though I like the casino, I'm going to have to quit the job for making this kind of money and have a full-time position I'm just going to be doing this job here this career But if it is going to be a part-time position if I'm hired I'm going to gladly take that part-time position And I will even if I'm working a couple days a week as a correctional officer If I'm still able to work at the casino and get a couple hours as the security guard at the casino still Then I'll stay at the casino, but if it's full-time, I'm definitely going to have to leave the casino But I'm really excited and I can't wait to start I think honestly, I'm going to try to take the exam tomorrow So expect really soon maybe within the week or two me giving tips about the correctional officer Exam at least the first exam. I have until the 19th to Finish it, but I'm going to try to finish it early because I'm laid off. I have literally all this time I have nothing else that I really need to do other than working on my channel So I have time I'm able to do this So I just wanted to keep you guys informed of this new career opportunity that I'm pursuing And letting you guys know some of the details on it. I can't wait to start So I hope you guys enjoyed this video of me sharing a little bit more about my career and what I'm working on right now Hope you guys enjoyed. Please take care. Peace
