Diploma in Architectural Technology.

After nearly three years of intense work studying Architectural Technology at Montmorency College, I am getting ready to earn my diploma. With that in hand, I am faced with making a choice among the following three.

Choice 1 : Go directly to the job market since my diploma gives me the title of Technologist in architecture.

Choice 2 : Apply in the Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Montreal.

Choice 3 : Apply in the Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Laval.

Go directly to the job market since my diploma gives me the title of Technologist in architecture.

Going directly to the job market seems like a good decision. The idea of starting to make money right now is something to consider. I'm starting to get for a job looking at the ads on the internet, I must decide which of these three jobs I should apply for.

Choice 1 : A permanent job as an architectural technologist in a prestigious architectural office.

Choice 2 : A job as a building inspector in the city of Montreal where the salary offered is very interesting.

Choice 3 : A non-permanent job at a curtain wall subcontractor that seems like an excellent opportunity to gain solid experience.

A permanent job as an architectural technologist in a prestigious architectural office.

When I arrive at the interview, I notice that I may not have the profile that the company is looking for. What should I do?

Choice 1 : I'm better off lying about my personality and abilities to make sure I get the job I want.

Choice 2 : During the interview, I am as honest as possible, I do not try to over qualify myself and I begin to accept mentally that I probably won’t have the job.

Choice 2 : I decide to go to the interview despite being a few minutes late. After all, no one can be perfect!

A few minutes after submitting my application, I receive an email from the company in question telling me that I am hired on the spot. What is my reaction?

Choice 2 : I feel honored to be trusted so easily. I send a positive response to my new employer.

Apply in the Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Laval.

By going to Quebec City before starting my first semester, I get lost. Nobody will ever find me.

Choice 1 : Back to the beginning

I'm better off lying about my personality and abilities to make sure I get the job I want.

I get the job on the spot. However, my employer wants me to do a lot of overtime even if it is my first week. What should I do?

Choice 1 : I agree to work overtime without saying anything.

Choice 2 : I immediately talk to my boss to tell him that I do not feel able to work so much time.

During the interview, I am as honest as possible, I do not try to over qualify myself and I begin to accept mentally that I probably won’t have the job.

The boss of the company does not seem certain of my competence. He offers me to test me for a few weeks giving me an on-the-job-training. Should I accept his offer?

Choice 2 : I refuse his offer in fear of being fired after my on-the-job-training.

I decide not to go and I'll comfort myself at the local coffee shop.

I am sipping a good caramel Macchiato that cost me $15 when I notice a teacher who taught me when I was studying Architectural Technology at Montmorency College. For the sake of the cause, we will call her Anneau. Should I go see Anneau?

Choice 1 : I put aside my pride and I say sincerely to the three people who are present that the job no longer attracts me.

Choice 2 : I decide not to comment on that and I answer the questions that are put to me.

It's a trap! I must not answer the email otherwise a terrible job awaits me!

By choosing not to respond, I am being harassed by emails from the owner of the curtain wall company, Richard. Do I have to send Richard's emails directly to my spam box?

Choice 1 : Richard's e-mails must go directly to my junk mail.

Choice 2 : I decide to wait patiently for Richard to stop sending me emails.

I feel honored to be trusted so easily. I send a positive response to my new employer.

My new employer gives me an appointment at his office at 7 a.m. the next morning. When I arrive, he immediately puts me to work without giving me any training. I must learn everything by myself and there is no room for error! What should I do?

Choice 1 : I decide to impose myself in the company by proposing to my employer, Richard, to offer on-the-job-training to future new employees.

Choice 2 : I do what my boss tells me to do. I learn by myself over time. After all, as long as he pays me at the end of the week, I’m okay!

I agree to work overtime without saying anything.

After a few years, all these accumulated overtime affect me drastically; I fall into depression and must stop working. I will never find a normal way of life. I regret not having spoken to my boss about my personal limitations right from the start.

Choice 1 : Back to the beginning

I immediately talk to my boss to tell him that I do not feel able to work so much time.

Choice 1 : Back to the beginning

I leave the building by the emergency exit as quickly as possible in order not to cross Anneau.

As I walk out of the building, I bump my toe against an unidentified object and fall into intense pain. I manage to go to the hospital or an intern will tell me I'm crazy. He tells me that I invented a life for myself. I do not understand the situation. I am sent to spend the rest of my life in a CHSLD.

Choice 1 : Back to the beginning

I decide to go see Mrs. Anneau to hinder a discussion.

Anneau recognizes me immediately. She remembered how beautiful and good I was in my program. After having discussed, she makes an invaluable offer to me, to come to occupy a vacant position in her office of architects. I accept the offer immediately. Over time, I climb the ladder in Anneau's company and then take his place at his well-deserved retirement.

Choice 1 : Back to the beginning

I put aside my pride and I say sincerely to the three people who are present that the job no longer attracts me.

I am thanked for my frankness and one of the employees decides to propose me another position available: Architectural Technician. I accept the offer thinking of making an informed decision. After a few years of constantly making on scale bathroom rises, I realize that I am stuck in a dead-end job. I do not really like my job, but the good benefits offered by the city of Montreal allow me to retire with a good pension fund at the honorable age of 48.

Choice 1 : Back to the beginning

I decide not to comment on that and I answer the questions that are put to me.

The employers found me too shy; I did not get the job. I get discouraged, and I am telling myself that I should completely change careers. I decided to register to take a secretarial course in Saint-Eustache. As a result of my course, I find myself a job in this field.

Choice 1 : Back to the beginning

Richard's e-mails must go directly to my junk mail.

Because of my selfish actions, karma decides to attack me. I will never succeed in finding a job in the field I aspire to. I will be sentenced to work in a sushi restaurant to make big round poke bowls every day.

Choice 1 : Back to the beginning

I decide to wait patiently for Richard to stop sending me emails.

Karma rewards me by opening the door to a dream job at Caplette Architecture, my favorite architectural firm! There, I will be able to put my ideas on the drawing table! I will even have the chance to design houses for known architects like the famous Fabienne Henry.

Choice 1 : Back to the beginning

I decide to impose myself in the company by proposing to my employer, Richard, to offer on-the-job-training to future new employees.

Richard is hard to approach, he is like a badly trained dog! After all, he decides to accept my advice. I establish a good relationship with Richard. At the end of my contract, he decides to keep me at his company. After a few years, things degenerate, I am a victim of sexual harassment from Richard. I am extremely affected by the situation. I have no choice but to leave my job. To change my mind, I decide to go on a Road Trip in Europe that will last, in the end, for the rest of my life.

Choice 1 : Back to the beginning

I do what my boss tells me to do. I learn by myself over time. After all, as long as he pays me at the end of the week, I’m okay!

Over the weeks, I am accumulating the bad energies that this job brings me. I explode, I lose control of myself and hit Richard in the face and I smashed the windshield of his pickup truck. He sends the police to my back; I get arrested and find myself having to spend 15 weekends in prison. I will not be able to work in my field of study again because most employers do a background check before hiring a new employee.
