A day early is better than a day late

I’m back. At my workplace there is some talk about a contract position being posted. Right now I’m just relief staff. This could throw a wrench into my current massage therapy school plans but in this economy it’s tough to walk away from any job opportunity.

I haven’t made up my mind yet. Should I apply? Applications for this posting have to be received by April 1st. I’ll probably throw my name into the ring. What’s the worst that can happen? If I tank the interview at least I’ll have some interview experience going forward. Now if I actually get the job (which isn’t likely) then I’ll have a tough decision on my hand…

My Attempt at a website: PSW Jobs

Hi all. I’ve tried my hand at creating a personal support worker related website after purchasing a new Mac (lovin’ it by the way)

Using a program named Rapid Weaver I’ve created a pretty simple site named PSW Jobs Dot Com . As the name states the website features listings for PSW Jobs. Currently I don’t have too many postings, basically a few listings I can find from around the net. I’ve e-mailed a number of employers and I’m waiting to hear back from the majority of them. I didn’t know this before I created the site but places like monster.ca charge something like $300 for one online job posting.

In the future I hope to improve my website creation skills and have the site become more fluid and up to date. As for now it still has some decent information and jobs for Ottawa, Toronto, etc.

I’ll be back with more info on the site and how I resolved a slight management/employment program at work early next week.

Have a good weekend.

I made up my mind… for the time being at least

Re: PSW Night Job

I think I’ve made up my mind. Awake shifts are for me. I can get my studying done (check out my massage therapy canada blog), watch a little TV and have some of that precious alone time that one can only get at 3:46 am. Not too mention that I couldn’t imagine going down to about $8 an hour for a sleep shift.

Tonight I’m planning on doing some homework and then surfing the web for some ideas about this site. I can’t seem to find too much about personal support workers on the web. Mostly ads. I even found a site that’s charging a subscription fee to be a part of their “private forums”. No thanks. If you know a site or two that I should check out please leave the web site address’ in the comments section.

Have a great weekend!

PSW

Have you ever thought about becoming a personal support worker in the province of Ontario or in any other part of Canada?

Today’s PSW is one of the better paid positions vs time in school. Most courses only take a year to complete and the starting wage is right around $15.

PSW Jobs are in high demand, yet many employers simply cannot fill up all of their required positions.

 PSW Canada

This is due to many factors, including the baby boomer retirement period that we are currently in. 

You may enter a personal support worker school at either the college or private level. A college certficate may carry more weight with some employers but it is more expensive than a private education.

 

For more info on these topics and anything else, you can visit Personals Support Worker PSW, the internet’s #1 PSW website.
