Work and Global Prospects

Image
By
I'm almost finished with uni and so I've been looking into job prospects. It's not very vibrant because the job market is slow. But the recession is supposed to be global, so that means it's slow everywhere, right? Actually that just means things are slower everywhere but if you run a mile in four minutes usually, making one in 4.5 minutes doesn't make it a slow one (just slower).

So maybe global job opportunities are available, and with that idea I decided to check where I could work without the need for a visa and where there's agreements between countries to make getting a visa easier. And these are the results.

Under CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME):

 Trinidad passport means I can work in -


  • Antigua and Barbuda
  • Belize
  • Barbados
  • Dominica
  • Guyana
  • Grenada
  • St. Lucia
  • Jamaica
  • Saint Kitts and Nevis
  • St Vincent and the Grenadines
  • Suriname
-Trinidad and Tobago since I'm a citizen.
- Canada since I'm a citizen

- USA has easier access because of NAFTA, so with a job offer there's 3 years available with TN1 status for Canadian Nationals.

NAFTA agreement might work for a job in Mexico as well, but I'm not sure.

Under Canada Young Professional 

If between ages 18-35 there's a bilateral agreement to allow young professionals to work for one year in certain countries.

  • Austria
  • Chile
  • Czech Republic
  • Costa Rica
  • Croatia
  • France
  • Germany
  • Estonia
  • Greece
  • Latvia
  • Mexico
  • Netherlands
  • Lithuania
  • Poland
  • Slovakia
  • Spain
  • Slovenia
  • Sweden 
  • Switzerland
  • Taiwan
  • Ukraine

Under PIO

As a Person of Indian Origin, (up to four generations removed ie great grandparents or more recent level of ancestry of Indian origin) this allows for a PIO card which means on possession of this card no separate visa is required for taking up employment (or studies). So I can work in India too, with this.

best comedians of the decade

By
criteria : must do stand-up comedy. only judged from stand up and sketch . 10.Demetri Martin why: He likes constructing palindromes. That's reason enough. Uses all sorts of visual aids and sketches. Great with the one liners too. Most unconventional comedian since Gallagher.Maybe. 9. Russell Brand why: Obnoxious, loud and very strange. Known as much for his off stage antics than his comedy. But one of the best young 'angry' comedians out there. Although there's a sneaking suspicion the accent makes him cool (er). 8. Robin Williams why: Back in2002 with LIVE on Broadway, the show broke several records for a comedy show. Showed he's still funny, hasn't let success go to his head and can still make it all up on the spot. 7. Ricky Gervais why: In the Office for the first part of the century, everywhere else for the last. Most people know him for his film roles, but he's great on the stage too. Doesn't shy away from the controversial topics. And it isn't

Best Films of the Decade - 2010s - Third Part

11. Get Out (2017)-  Directed and written by  Jordan Peele. Horror seems to be an excellent medium to describe racism and it's somewhat amazing how obvious it seems in hindsight. One of the best debuts of a director in recent times, with a script that amps up the tension marvelously and serves up a twist in the tale that was impossible to see coming. Normally horror movies are seen as niche, but this film was popular with the wide audience and also at the award ceremonies further proving everyone was able to be captured by the film's quality. There has been talk of the film fitting into horror-comedy, probably due to Peele's comedy background, but while it is never laughably funny but does serve as a clever satire on the state of racial affairs. 12. The Death of Stalin (2017) - Directed by  Armando Iannuci.  Written by  Armando Iannuci, David Schneider and Ian Martin. Few topics are as ripe for satire as the workings of communist governments (provided one can

Best Films of the Decade - 2010s - Second Part

As always, a giant list. The first 10 can be pretty much interchangeable depending on my mood. 21.  John Wick (2014) - Directed by  Chad Stalehski . Written by  Derek Kolstad.   Keanu Reeves already had experience as the face of an action franchise but it's possible in the future that we remember more for John Wick than as Neo. A film that came out of almost nowhere and managed to simultaneously be a homage and a way forward for action movies. Building off of an extensive source of knowledge of the films of John Woo, Jean Pierre Melville, anime and spaghetti westerns, it's the closest anyone has come to replicating the Gun-Fu Hong Kong classics. The well crafted world of John Wick keeps expanding too, with even more additions to the series in the works. Long may it continue. 22.  Blade Runner 2049 (2017) - Directed by  Denis Villeneuve . Written by  Michael Green  and  Hampton Fancher.   A sequel to one of the most beloved and acclaimed sci-film films of
