La formation professionnelle et académique, l’expérience pratique et un bon réseau de contacts sont généralement les critères les plus cités lorsqu’il est question de déterminer les possibilités d’obtenir un emploi.

Interior design is one of the most interesting, creative, technically challenging careers out there. The industry is huge, with so many ways to specialize and so many different job options.

Want to design homes? Interested in commercial designs for retail stores or hotels? Have a passion for kitchens, bathrooms, small spaces, or eco-friendly materials? Want to own your own interior design business one day?

This field has something for everyone.

Sustainable architecture focuses on preserving the environment by using eco-friendly building methods and materials. There's been tremendous growth in this field all over the world. It's much more than a passing trend to "go green."

Personal Support Workers have been in the spotlight recently, along with other essential health care providers working on the front lines during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Personal Support Workers (PSWs) help care for our seniors in long-term care facilities, retirements homes, and hospitals. They also make home visits, to help people with special needs live safely and independently in their own residences.

People will tell you that breaking in broadcasting is incredibly difficult. You should prepare yourself for a grueling journey, countless rejections, and years of working as a lowly assistant. 

And while it’s true that most newcomers start at the bottom, there are far more opportunities to advance and succeed than people realize. The broadcasting and media communications industry is truly vast.

L’objectif est toujours unique lorsque les chemins, eux, sont multiples. Quand on décide de sa future carrière professionnelle, il va de soi de penser à la façon avec laquelle on y arrivera.

L’option des études en soi est un ensemble de possibilités, de chemins à prendre et de cursus à suivre. Les niveaux peuvent varier, la durée et le contenu aussi.

Avant de suivre une formation donnée, il est toujours recommandé de procéder à une petite évaluation des études, de la qualité de l’enseignement et des perspectives d’avenir.

Ceci est d’autant plus pertinent lorsqu’il s’agit d’opter pour une formation professionnelle en vue d’accéder au marché du travail, que ce soit pour une première expérience ou pour une reconversion professionnelle.

Dans le cas du Québec, plus particulièrement Montréal, les formations professionnelles sont nombreuses et le marché du travail n’en est que plus exigeant en termes de compétences.

Beaucoup de métiers se ressemblent dans les définitions, se chevauchent dans les tâches, et peuvent créer des confusions chez les étudiants lorsqu’il est question de décider des études qui mènent à la carrière.

Ceci est souvent le cas lorsque l’on aborde les professions de designer d’intérieur et de décorateur d’intérieur. Le dénominateur commun étant l’intérieur, la distinction entre les deux métiers peut éventuellement sembler subtile pour certains. Et, pourtant, il n’en est rien!

Perhaps a more accurate title for this blog post would be: “Is Supply Chain Management a Good Career Choice...For You.” 

Because “good” is obviously a relative term and there's no easy answer. Some people chose a career based on demand and salary. Others are looking for a challenge; something they really feel passionate about.

In some cases, fast training is the top priority.

It really depends on how you define "good" and what's important to you.
