I lost my job after working in Canada for one day.
I just came to Toronto this summer. I studied in a university in Nova Scotia for four years. I feel that I can still find a suitable job. Imagination is always better than reality, but reality is always much more cruel than imagination.
in may, I was confident enough to find a job. I checked the web page, read the newspaper and asked for job information myself. Then call and ask. But as soon as the company heard that you were an international student, it didn't want you. Some companies want to speak Cantonese, but I can't, so I'm unemployed and depressed. The weather in Toronto is beautiful, but my mood is gloomy. Because, at the age of 24, I have to take money to support myself at home. My parents are getting older every year, and they are reluctant to eat and wear, so they are all for me to study. When I think of home, I feel sad, feel really useless, and let my family worry, so I can't help but feel even more agitated. At this time, I accidentally saw the intermediary advertisement. The advertisement says that you will find a job without experience. I went with the idea of wiping. I called to ask the address of the intermediary and found the intermediary with a map. Intermediary is very happy, work, introduction fee, 15 yuan. He works in a dry clothes shop. He works from 7: a.m. to 1: p.m., 5 a day and works on Saturdays. Then let me see the boss.
I found the location of the drying shop with the address given by the agent and went in to find the boss. The boss didn't see it, but saw the boss's wife. I said, the agent introduced me to work. She looked at me and said that she would arrive at 6: 4 tomorrow morning and work until after 3: pm, depending on how many clothes she had. Didn't I say I worked until one o'clock? She gave a sneer and said, Will you come tomorrow? I thought it would be nice to make money. Two more hours was nothing, so I agreed. The next day, I got up at 5 o'clock in the morning, took the BUS, transferred to the SUBWAY, and arrived at my work place at 6: 3. The boss is here and says, "study hard, wipe the machine, suck it carefully, and then blow your pants." If it's not good, I don't want you. I can't make money if I stay home. "
a girl came and told me how to clip my pants and blow them. It seems simple, but you don't know how uncomfortable it is until you do it. Pants are clamped, the machine blows, and the hot air blows for 1 minute. People can't leave, and clothes will sweat through in 4-5 minutes. I wiped my sweat, and the proprietress came over and said, Hurry up, didn't you wait for you? Why is it so slow? "I dare not wipe my sweat again, blowing one after another. At this moment, the boss came over and said," Didn't you see the ironing pants waiting for your pants? Why not send it there? How can this work? Do you understand? "Send the pants to the past quickly and continue to blow the pants. At this time, it is almost 12 o'clock, and there are about 2 pairs of pants. My clothes are wet and dry, dry and wet. Lick your arm. It's salty. Four cars of trousers are always blown out.
At this time, the skilled worker in the clothes drying shop told me to make a hot meal quickly. I want to take a break before eating. They immediately said, "Eat quickly. Clothes will come soon. You have to distribute clothes, then wash them and continue your work." I was so scared that I ate it quickly and wolfed it down. I finished it in less than 1 minutes.
next, the boss brought back the clothes, many bags. We all gathered around, unpacked our bags, and divided our clothes and pants. It is also necessary to tell whether it will be made that day. It's sorted, that is, I have to check my pockets to see if there is anything in them, for fear of damaging the washing machine. I don't know why, but the boss watched me rummage through my clothes pockets and said, "You can't do this. You have to rummage through them one by one." I did as he said and looked through them one by one. After a while, the proprietress came over and said, "Why are you so slow, waiting for you?"? Why don't you just touch it with your hands? Do you understand ...? " When the clothes were checked, I thought it was nothing, so I left there to drink water. The proprietress came over again: "You push the clothes cart over here, and you are not allowed to rest or do anything here!" Do you understand, be careful I don't want you? "I went to push the cart, and she said, the two pushed together ... My pants were washed and I started to blow again. I worked harder than in the morning, and the speed was faster. Soon a car full of pants was blown, and I didn't know where to put the empty car. I pushed the cart to the place where other cars were put, and the boss suddenly shouted, "What are you thinking? You can't see that it's a car. Put the car here!" " Then he said to other workers, "Her heart is not here, she is thinking about men." I couldn't help it now. I asked him, who is thinking about men? You should respect people and don't talk nonsense. When he saw that I dared to contradict him, he blushed and said, "What, you don't want to do it, do you?" I said you should respect people, and he said, "I don't need you!" " I said, yes, but you have to apologize for what you just said and give me my salary today.
He didn't expect me to make him apologize, so he said something in Cantonese, which I didn't understand, but he was very angry from his expression. Then he gave me the salary without saying a word.
although I lost this job, I feel that I have not lost my dignity. Be a man with personality. I remember the Jews said, "There is no bean that can't be sold". If beans can't be sold, let them sprout, sell bean sprouts, and if bean sprouts can't be sold, let them bear seeds and continue to be sold as beans, which will be sold one day. I firmly believe that we will all find jobs that suit us. At the same time, we don't lose our dignity. People are equal. One day, we will be very good. I believe that all international students will find a good job and have a beautiful sky waiting for us.
