中英文对照-边读书边打工,没那么容易呢
Canadians do not trust new immigrants---because you know nothing about Canada. To hire you means they need to assign you a mentor, as you do not know the most basic things such as the product name or the manner to talk to the customers, but they pay you minimum, just like they pay everyone working around you, so no one wants to mentor anyone besides their own duty.
加拿大人不喜欢请新移民---因为你什么都不懂。要雇佣你就需要给你安排个导师,因为你产品也不熟悉,也不了解当地的沟通习惯,然而你身边的人跟你一样拿最低工资,所以没有人愿意教人,他们只愿意做自己的本职工作。
That pretty much means, you will only be able to find jobs such as the waiter or daily worker. The pay will start from 14 dollars, and stay that way through your whole study period. Just like I mentioned in my first chapter, it will be difficult for you if you were a highly self-esteemed officer before, as this is definitely the kind of job you would not consider taking. In a word, when you arrive, throw away your ego. Your work experience in China meant nothing, and if they meant a lot to you, your choice should be staying in China.
那基本上意味着,你找到的工作会是端盘子或者打零工,薪水是14加币每小时,而且直到毕业前这个薪水都不会涨。而如同我在第一章所提到的,对一个曾经自视甚高的白领来说,这类工作绝不是你会想做的。总而言之,一旦踏上加拿大的土地,请把你的傲气丢掉,因为你在中国的工作经验没人在乎,如果你那么在乎,我建议你继续留在中国。
Now, the agencies told you that you can come to be the Uber driver, or deliver food. Here are things that they did not tell you: it is not that easy to get the driver’s license here in Canada. Remember to go to the driver center and get your Prove of Driver’s Experience. Upon arrival, you can apply for a G1 test---the writing exam. Then with the proof of your driver’s experience, you can go to Service Canada and apply for a G test after one month. For G test, you will need to buy a course, as a lot of the rules are different from China.
另外,中介可能会跟你说,你来加拿大之后可以去当Uber司机,或者可以去送餐。他们没有告诉你的是,加拿大的驾照没这么好考。记得出发前去驾管所开具你的驾龄证明。来到加拿大之后,你就可以去申请G1考试,也就是笔试。通过笔试一个月后,拿着你的驾龄证明,你就可以去Service Canada申请G牌考试。考G牌建议去找教练学习,因为加拿大很多的驾驶规则都和中国不同。
Even if you got the G license, the payment will not be as good as you might think. Avery hourly rate for delivering food is not as all the platforms claimed, which is between 15 to 20 dollars--- it is 12 dollars. The basic delivery fee is 4 dollars for each order, and the rest highly depends on the tip. I am not going to lie to you --- the customers are cheap, and they do not tip you well. However, a order of 4 dollars might take up 30 minutes, as you need to drive to the restaurant, walk into the restaurant and wait for the food to be ready, then drive to deliver it, sometimes you even need to get into some condos, because your customer lives on the 20th floor, and they demand an on-door-delivery. Worst case scenario, you got 2 orders per hour, with 8 dollars income. I am sorry, that is not the worst case scenario, the worst is sitting in your car with no order --- the peak hour is only between 11:00 to 14:00 and 17:00 to 20:00.
恭喜你拿到驾照,然而你赚得可能没你想像的多。送餐的时薪没有平台所说的15-20加币那么高-其实是12加币。每单的基础送餐费是4加币,剩下的部分看小费。老实说一句---这里的客户很小气,基本不给小费。然后,做完一个4加币的送餐单子需要30分钟时间,因为你得开到餐馆,进去等餐,然后送达客户住处,有时候遇到住公寓楼还要求送到门口的客户,你还得找地方停车然后上楼去。最糟糕的情况是你每小时只有两个单子,也就是一小时收入8加币。哦不好意思我说错了,这不是最糟糕的情况,更糟的是坐在车里没单子来--送餐高峰期只有11点到14点之间,以及17点到20点之间。
OK, now you know how tough it might be, and you have yourself mentally prepared, now let’s talk about the next topic.
好了,现在你也大致知道情况可能有多严峻,做好心理准备了吧,我们现在聊下一个话题吧。
