Graduate, DeGroote School of Business
2dI want to apply because I worked for Schlegel Villages as a PSW, in 2023! I directly worked for seniors but I have learned the hard way that my degree in Health Studies and Gerontology as well as my Master's Degree from McMaster University only offered me a part time contract for PSW after I got my PSW certificate from Conestoga College. That is a lot of professional experience from an internationally educated person in Canada. I feel that although human resources policy gives a paycheck, the contracts being instilled are unfair to immigrants who are having to compete with locals and newly immigrated persons. I was paid very poorly and with cost of living accounted for, I could not afford to live and fund my own expenses in Canadian economy. I have aging parents too. Consider the impact that doing work is costing immigrants in a personal domain of life. For men, this might be how domestic labour of women went unpaid (and unaccounted for). The work for seniors as a population tends to be humanitarian and does not pay dividends directly. Please do not have such pathetic standards of work and human resource policy that is selectively disadvantageous for immigrants and single women at the same time through job requirements.
