| URGENT! BC Gov't or Federal Gov't
You have a choice 1 or 2 for co-op
1. BC Gov't in Victoria
2. Fed Gov't in Ottawa
which one will you pick/choose
I have to decide within 24 hours...  |

Are you seriously going to let Revscene decide your future?

Victoria. (Based purely on the fact that Victoria > Ottawa)

I had a friend that went to Ottawa for a co-op and they hired him when he graduated. He said the experience was valuable. I think you would have a better experince in Ottawa than Victoria. A lot of provincial jobs in BC are based out of Victoria so you may get some good contacts, but you could also make great contacts in Ottawa. If public service is the route you want to take, I would take the Federal job in Ottawa.

Depends what your ultimate aims are. But if you intend to stay in BC I would suggest Victoria. Coops are awesome for networking, you want a network that's going to help you.

Federal without a doubt.
Their pension + superannuation MUCH better than provincial ( provided you get a job and stay )

Long term career-wise, your best off working Federal. Better security, pay, benefits. There's alot of room for movement as well due to the various depts/agencies. Good luck with your decision. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Also, I think that if you go to the federal one, you HAVE to learn French. All the course fees are covered, but you will be required to write some exams.

And if it is, you have to be at the level of French required prior to being appointed to the position. The level of French language training has been cut back and is typically limited to those who are in management or aspiring managers.

Pay wise, City > Provincial > Federal
but i don't care about co-op pay, it's ways around $20 anyways. I am working for the federal gov't right now.. and it's not too bad, but I just don't like living here.
I am just wondering if I should go for the provincial gov't and gain more experience and add value to my resume.

My impression is whatever job you do in the Federal government that's going to look better on your resume for your future undertakings.
just me .02.

just me .02. | that's EXACTLY what happened.
When they heard about my federal experience, doing almost the same job. I can hear their eyes open up even though it was the phone interview.
Fuck. this is such a hard choice.

Vancouver is only English, Quebec is only French, you get the idea.

Which one is most relevant to what you may think you will do as a career?
Victoria is nice because you can come back on weekends. I had a friend who worked an extra hour each day so every two weeks she got Friday off for a long weekend.
