Web 2.0 creates a niche for a new semantic web agent to pick the best of the best of worldwide conference podcasting. What a great idea from a Bruno Giussani's article about a new trend in our digital life:

Great speech after great speech for free

This burgeoning of conference podcasting worldwide suggests a few thoughts:

* One: great ideas and knowledge are now shared freely as never before, available for people to use and share: I've heard of teachers using talks as part of their syllabus; corporate managers burning them on CDs and giving them to their staff or using them during team retreats; etc.
* Two: all of those conferences seem to be doing it for the same reason: TED believes "in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world"; Pop!Tech's Zolli (quote above) talks about "harnessing the power of visionary ideas" to "build a better world"; LIFT's goal is to "connect people (...) and propel their conversations into the broader world to improve life and work".
* Three: the multiplication of conference videos may open a niche for a meta-curator role, picking the best of the best.

National Job Fair: Learn the Essentials

The National Job Fair & Training Expo
September 14 and 15, 2005 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre
Photo: © Liudmila Cherniak

We started this Pursuit of Employment's e-venture after our visiting The National Job Fair & Training Expo (NJF&TE) two years ago.

This 'Ultimate Recruitment Event!' is the largest in the Ontario job and career fair industry with a multimedia advertising campaign of over $350,000 in value.

But only a couple of bloggers write about their job fairs' experience.
To launch a successful career with a blog, it's better to write celebrity gossip, or to criticize mainstream media, or to set up political columns, or to create sports chat, or to do all of the above.

See you at The National Job Fair & Training Expo 10th-Anniversary Edition in Toronto.

April 3 and 4, 2007

Tuesday, April 3, 2007: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Wednesday, April 4, 2007: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Metro Toronto Convention Centre
North Building, Exhibition Hall C
255 Front Street West
Toronto, Ontario M5V 2W6

On my list to learn:

The Public Presentation Area
Presentation No. 5 - 3:00 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.
Keynote speaker: LINDA LEADERDALE, Columnist and Financial Editor, THE TORONTO SUN
Title: How to Get That Job
Brief description: Linda Leatherdale, award-winning financial editor and columnist for The Toronto Sun, is a regular commentator on business, political and personal finance issues. A believer in advocacy journalism, she has led highly-charged campaigns on the GST, the high cost of credit cards and bank services changes, government fiscal policy, and writes regularly on taxation as well as real estate, consumer and small business issues. Linda also stages popular award-winning seminars on retirement planning and real estate, and has made appearances on television and radio.

National Job Fair on tap

We all know where the good-paying jobs are: In government, where 34,000 Ontario civil servants and employees, who work at Crown corporations, hospitals, municipalities, colleges and universities earn more than $100,000 a year.
That's up 24% from 2005.
Many of them earn twice that amount if they're lucky enough to work for hydro or the scandal-ridden Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp.
Meanwhile, many small businesses complain they can't find workers to fill job vacancies.
At the same time, immigrants with skills can't find jobs.
So, to hear about where the jobs are and how to break down the job barriers, come out to the National Job Fair at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. I'm speaking there at 3 p.m. Tuesday.

Citizenship 2.0: Five Good Ideas

Register now for 2007 Five Good Ideas sessions

Five Good Ideas
Building Essential Management Skills for Successful Community Organizations
2006-2007 Series

The management of nonprofit organizations is a complex and unique task, made all the more challenging by the resource limitations that many of the GTA's nonprofit organizations find themselves battling.
Five Good Ideas is a lunch and learn program where industry or issue experts discuss powerful yet practical ideas on key management issues facing nonprofit organizations. The sessions are most useful for management staff and board members at small and mid-sized nonprofits.
Each expert presents five practical yet strategic ideas and explores with the audience how these ideas can be translated into action. At the end of each session, participants self-organize in small groups and continue the discussion to generate the best and most relevant of all ideas. The "good ideas" are published on our website as a lasting resource tool for nonprofits.

These is an upcoming session:

Citizenship 2.0
with Anil Patel, Executive Director, Framework Foundation
Wednesday, February 14, 2007 - 12:00 to 2:00 PM

Today, many active community leaders argue that no single sector – public, private or nonprofit – is capable of solving our modern day challenges on its own. A new dialogue is needed, and a more powerful focus on citizen involvement is required to collectively address these issues. Anil Patel will provocatively explore the role that volunteerism plays in the context of the ‘greater good’. Anil’s talk will unveil his newly coined concept of Citizenship 2.0, a more holistic approach to the challenges and opportunities relating to civic responsibility through the lens of volunteerism. He will present an interconnected core set of principles that focus on how to maximize a citizen’s contribution in the community over the long-term relative to their capacity to give.

TURNING OUT TO TALK YOUNG PHILANTHROPY AT THE FRINGE

Anil Patel, Director and Co-Founder of the Framework Foundation, an organization that advocates volunteerism through creative initiatives, suggested that giving doesn’t have to be an “either-or” choice. Donating time rather than money is a worthwhile compromise. For every $1 spent in traditional fundraising campaigns, only $2 is generated. For every $1 spent on volunteerism efforts, $7 in benefits is generated. By encouraging what Samir Khan of D-Code, a strategic marketing firm, calls the “participatory instinct,” both the donor and organization benefit.

torontoarts


Anil Patel, co-founder and Executive Director of the Framework Foundation said that:

“The Working Group has developed a very impressive modelling process that has exceeded the expectations of Framework Foundation. Framework Foundation is a small but growing organization with limited experience and skills in systems design. The Working Group was essential in making Framework Foundation a big hit with our volunteers, partner volunteer agencies and key-stakeholders. I would recommend the Working Group to all other NGOs looking for information technology/information management solutions."

Toronto: National Job Fair: Blog + Search

The second day of the National Job Fair & Training Expo is taking place today at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

We were glad to find on the blogosphere a post Employment in Canada: National Job Fair - Toronto, April 19-20 2006 - an inspirational invitation to visit this very well organized career event. Welcome aboard, Tina and Mario.

Our joint venture "The Pursuit of Employment" was started at the last Job Fair as an open platform of searching for some meaningful options on the Canadian job market as a part of the flat global market of XXI century. Liudmila's notes from the National Job Fair 2005 are here >>.

One more career event is coming to Toronto on May 11, 2006 - the 3rd edition of the Adventa Job and Career Expo. Madeline Ziniak, VP Station Manager, Rogers OMNI Television said in a press-release:

“as more and more companies are realizing the advantage and positive results in reflecting an ever changing society in their work force, the Adventa Job and Career Expo provides the resources, the potential talent and the tools needed to achieve such an objective”.

My Profound Canadian Employment Experience:Part 1: Beginning

Этапы “Большого Пути“

Part 1: Beginning
Часть 1: Начало

До переезда в Канаду я 12 лет прожила в Израиле, где мой путь в специальности можно считать довольно успешным. Начав свою работу в Израиле с работы химика-аналитика в заводской лаборатории, я закончила его в статусе руководителя исследовательского проекта в частной компании.
Пройдя весь путь для получения статуса независимого эмигранта, за год до своей эмиграции я впервые побывала в Канаде – участвовала в научной конференции с докладом и навестила родных. Одной из основных целей этой поездки было принятие окончательного решения о второй эмиграции, которое далось мне нелегко. Одним из доводов «за» было ошибочное впечатление, что я смогу найти в Канаде работу, близкую к моей специальности. После переезда выяснилось, что одно дело – разговаривать с коллегами об общих проблемах в работе, и совсем другое – обращаться к ним в поисках работы.
Пришлось идти обычным эмигранским путем – составлять список групп и организаций, где можно было применить мой опыт, рассылать резюме, звонить, посещать ярмарки труда и курсы. Считая, что «я не королева – корона с головы не упадет», я была заранее согласна на начальную позицию, например, техника в химической лаборатории или ассистента учителя.
Скоро выяснилось, что кроме обычных эмигрантских проблем, к которым я была более или менее готова из опыта предыдущей эмиграции (хотя мы и называем ее репатриацией, но суть дела от этого мало меняется), в Канаде существуют и специфические.

Этапы “Большого Пути“

Part 2: Barriers
Часть 2: Препятствия

Скоро выяснилось, что кроме обычных эмигрантских проблем, к которым я была более или менее готова из опыта предыдущей эмиграции (хотя мы и называем ее репатриацией, но суть дела от этого мало меняется), в Канаде существуют и специфические.
Область, в которой я всю жизнь работала – исследование и разработка материалов на основе стекла и керамики – в Канаде не очень развита, существует всего несколько небольших групп, в основном, в университетах. Основные разработки и, соответственно, рабочие места – в соседней Америке.
Работа учителем в школе требует специальной лицензии. В колледже этого не требуется, но и критерии приема на работу строже.
Основной рынок труда в Канаде – «скрытый». Даже по опубликованным официальным данным, объявляются только 10 –15% свободных рабочих мест. На остальные находят людей путем так называемого «нетворкинга», то есть через сотрудников и знакомых. На некоторых фирмах даже существует практика платить сотруднику «бонус», если он привел или порекомендовал подходящего специалиста, и тот успешно прошел испытательный срок и остался работать на фирме.
Еще один барьер для специалиста-эмигранта – канадский опыт, вернее, его отсутствие. Без канадского опыта трудно усроиться на квалифицированную работу, а без работы нет опыта. То же самое и с рекомендациями. Обычно просят три рекомендации, естественно, предпочтительнее канадские. Поэтому очень распространена система «волонтерства» - добровольной работы без оплаты, за рекомендацию в течение трех-шести месяцев. Есть фирмы, которые специализируются на этом. Берут на работу специалистов-«волонтеров», периодически меняя их на других желающих получить рекомендацию. Причем «волонтерам» не делается никаких скидок по сравнению со штатными сотрудниками, скорее наоборот – им поручают работу, которую не стремятся выполнять обычные работники. А химику надо еще найти организацию, которая согласится платить за него профессиональную страховку на случай несчастного случая на работе. Правда, такую организацию найти вполне реально, это делают многие курсы и организации, помогающие новым эмигрантам до трех лет в стране.

My Profound Canadian Employment Experience:Part 3: Courses

Этапы “Большого Пути“

Part 3: Courses
Часть 3: Курсы

Существуют также специальные курсы и программы, так называемые Со-Ор, основной задачей которых, наряду с обучением правильному написанию резюме и, сопроводительного письма и поведения на интервью, является поиск «волонтерских» мест и помощи в устройстве туда своих студентов.
Я тоже поучилась на таких курсах (Со-Ор программа колледжа Yorkdale), представила им список организаций, где я могла и хотела бы поработать волонтером в надежде на то, что после этого срока удастся «зацепиться» на рабочем месте. Никто из списка взять волонтера не пожелал. Руководители курса устроили на стажировку почти всех экономистов и бухгалтеров, но не химиков. И я не знакома ни с одним из студентов, кого бы оставили на работе после периода «волонтерства».
Следующим этапом была попытка поступить на курсы для иностранных специалистов при Сенека колледже. Привлекательным для меня в этой программе было то, что занятия на курсах вели преподаватели колледжа, и был шанс хотя бы познакомиться с коллегами. Но в процессе многоступегчатого собеседования, на последнем его этапе мы не сошлись во взглядах с дамой – выходцем (выходкой?) из Ирана. Ей очень не хотелось меня принимать, а мне расхотелось учиться на этой программе.
Последним «образовательным аккордом» в моей практике стали курсы «Age 45+». Их основной задачей, как мне показалось, было внушить студентам, что возраст 45+ имеет многочисленные достоинства по сравнению с более молодыми, и чем больше «плюс», тем больше достоинств. Убежденные в этом студенты, в свою очередь, должны довести эту мысль до потенциальных работодателей.
Если отвлечься от моего убеждения, что подобные курсы, кроме совершенствования в английском языке, мне лично ничего не дадут, учиться было интересно. Кроме обычных написания резюме, приемов разговора с работодателем и требований к внешнему виду, проводился достаточно серьезный психологический тест для выявления психологического типа и склонностей человека к выполнению определенного рода работы. Очевидно, что такой тест наиболее полезен молодым, только выбирабщим себе направление деятельности. Но его результаты могут служить хорошей подсказкой для тех, кто по какой-то причине хочет сменить профессию. К своему большому изумлению, я узнала, что все, чем я когда-либо занималась в жизни, вплоть до своих многочисленных хобби, соответствует моему психотипу. Поразмыслив, я поняла, что удивляться тут нечему: просто мне повезло, что я могла заниматься тем, что мне нравилось. Вот не подходит мне работать с людьми, например, в сфере обслуживания, но я и так испытывала страх перед такого рода деятельностью.
И еще очень интересно было увидеть себя в роли кинозвезды. С каждым из нас проводили пробное интервью, задавая самые каверзные вопросы, а процесс снимали на видео. Потом мы группой смотрели и обсуждали эти сюжеты, чтобы понять, что нужно исправить в своем поведении, начиная от манеры одеваться до прощальных слов благодарности.

My Profound Canadian Employment Experience:Part 4: Interviews

Этапы “Большого Пути“

Part 4: Interviews
Часть 4: Интервью

В промежутках между этими интересными занятиями я иногда получала приглашения на интервью. Если рассматривать сам процесс не как последний шанс получить работу, то в нем есть много познавательного и иногда даже забавного.
Свой первый опыт в этой области я даже не могу назвать интервью. Послав резюме по объявлению, буквально на следующий день я услышала на автоответчике сообщение с просьбой перезвонить. Два последующих дня я разговаривала с автоответчиком компании. Стоило мне выйти из дома, как у меня на автоответчике появилась новая, но странная запись о том, что меня хотят пригласить на интервью, но ни даты, ни времени, ни адреса ... Снова звоню на автоответчик, оставляю сообщение, что я готова, с радостью, дома бываю во столько-то или прошу оставить сообщение с координатами. Через несколько дней – опять сообщение , и опять никакой конкретной информации. Встречаюсь с работниками кадров указанного колледжа, пытаюсь выяснить по фамилии и направлению деятельности, что это за исследовательская группа. Никто ничего не знает. На сайте колледжа такая группа тоже не указана. До сих пор не понимаю, что это было.
Обращения в университетские исследовательские группы успеха не принесло. Профессора, как правило, люди вежливые, на письма и звонки отвечали, советовали обратиться к коллегам в другой университет. Круг замкнулся.
Аналитические лаборатории, в основном, обслуживают производство. А химическое производство в Канаде сосредоточено в области фармацевтики и переработки нефти. Далекая от меня область. Нашлось несколько лабораторий по контролю строительных материалов и разработке методов исследования. Пишу, звоню, в одну приглашают в результате шапошного знакомства с одним из сотрудников. Приветливая, доброжелательная атмосфера, много русскоговорящих сотрудников, отличное и – главное - знакомое оборудование, но...На работу могут принять только при условии, если есть собственный проект, и не просто проект, но с инвестором, готовым вложить деньги. Проекты есть, целых два, а инвесторов – ни одного.

My Profound Canadian Employment Experience:Part 5: Proposals

Этапы “Большого Пути“

Part 5: Proposals
Часть 5: Проекты

Начинаю искать инвестора. Сначала через разрекламированную общественную организацию Альянс Научно-Технических Работников. С порога объявлено, что за нахождение инвестора Альянс берет 12% от вклада, так как без них со мной все равно никто говорить не станет. С ними, впрочем, тоже никто интереса не проявил.
Параллельно ищу самостоятельно. Один проект посвящен разработке слоистой керамической брони для защитных жилетов и техники. Быстро выясняется, что подобные разработки ведутся на государственные деньги в интересах армии. Сотрудник должен иметь “security clearance”. Для ее получения эмигрант должен прожить в Канаде определенное количество лет в зависимости от страны, в которой родился. Для России это 10 лет. Не успеть мне получить этот допуск! Проект откладывается в стол.
Второй проект гораздо безобиднее. Предлагается технология переработки отходов стекла и керамики в строительные материалы. Есть лабораторная технология и образцы. Учитывая, что Торонто вывозит твердые отходы в Америку и платит за это большие дегьги, проект должен бы представлять интерес. Разослала нескольким депутатам (накануне выборов), в Институт Охраны Окружающей Среды и Министерство Экологии. Ни ответа, ни привета. На встрече с представителями этих «охранников» поймала за рукав руководителя лаборатории института, он вырвался, оставив визитную карточку и обещание прочитать проект. Прочитал, переадресовал в Оттаву, из Оттавы – на завод, который занимается переработкой отходов, на который я и раньше обращалась. Круг замкнулся.

My Profound Canadian Employment Experience:Part 6: Craft

Этапы “Большого Пути“

Part 6: Craft
Часть 6: Художество

В Торонто много художественных студий и небольших компаний, так или иначе связанных со стеклом и керамикой. Их я тоже занесла в список потенциальных рабочих мест.
Как правило, это небольшие семейные компании, большинство из которых зарабатывает даже не заказами изделий, а уроками – обучают школьников и пенсионеров простым приемам декорирования и изготовления поделок из стекла и керамики. Наемных работников практически не берут.
С одной из таких компаний у меня завязались длительные и странные отношения. Периодически ее владелец звонит мне и задает вопрос из области технологии. По вопросу я понимаю, какая примерно проблема у него возникла. Но форма вопроса всегда такова, как будто я сдаю ему экзамен. «А знаете ли Вы, что такое...?» – Знаю. – «А от чего это может быть?» Короче, консультация по полной форме. Когда я спрашиваю, не хочеи ли он взять меня на работу, хотя бы на должность консультанта, он постоянно отвечает, что у него нет на производстве никаких проблем, консультант ему без надобности, а главное, чтобы взять меня на должность консультанта, ему надо убедиться в моей компетентности. Как-то набравшись нахальства, я заявила, что мне достаточно несколько минут поговорить со специалистом в моей области, чтобы оценить его уровень компетентности. Он обиделся и не звонил месяца два. А потом позвонил снова. Так и продолжается моя платоническая, пардон, волонтерская работа.

Conclusion:
Вывод:

Наконец, через два года такой интересной жизни я пришла к выводу, что пора мне переходить в статус “self-employed”, то есть работать не по найму, раз никто не нанимает, а самой по себе. Создать себе рабочее место и самой же его занять. Для таких «умников» есть специальные, причем бесплатные, курсы, на которых учат, как уклоняться..., пардон, платить меньше налогов, составлять бизнес-план и прочим премудростям.

Пойти еще поучиться, что ли?
