currently sitting in the Dartmouth Gen emerg right now, and honestly, I’m pretty pissed off and confused.
When I came in, I thought everyone was supposed to go through the same security screening with the wand and have their bags checked. But I’ve been sitting here watching the Paladin security guards let some people through without checking them, while other people are being screened.
What’s bothering me is that I’ve specifically noticed what appears to be a pattern involving people of different backgrounds, and I’m trying to understand why. I’ve watched the guards let other Indian people through without screening them, while I was under the impression that everyone was supposed to be checked.
Maybe there’s an explanation I’m missing, but when security procedures don’t appear to be applied equally, it makes you question whether you’re being treated differently because of your background.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this at Dartmouth General? Is there a reason certain people aren’t being screened the same way as others? Because from where I’m sitting, it doesn’t feel right.

Hey everyone, how bad is the tech job market in the city? I have over 10 years of experience in software development and have worked at Siemens and CGI, but I’m not receiving a single callback.

I was able to receive an offer from Global Relay back in 2022, but it is rough out there now. I also have good references from local managers. Any leads or openings would be greatly appreciated. I mainly do Java/Spring backend with a little front-end.

Does anyone know if trucks are allowed to be parked here overnight on weekends? One of them looks like a dump truck, and the other is a truck without the back trailer attached.

Is this allowed, or are there any parking restrictions for commercial trucks on weekends? Appreciate any info. Thanks!

The title. Appreciate any input. Thanks!

4 times talking to agents about a parcel they say attempted delivery which wass clearly not done. then I was told it would be delivered in an hour which was clearly not done. Then i was told it would be delivered by 10:00am next morning and can also call for confirmation in the morning. All customer service was closed, and the parcel was not delivered. Is there anything I can do?

Sorry for the rant. Appreciate your opinions.

I recently went through the Coast Guard officer training interview but didn’t make it through. But, I did get accepted into the Marine Engineering program at Memorial University’s Marine Institute.

I’m planning to leave a career in software engineering to pursue this, but I’m a bit worried about interviews down the line. I think part of what affected me before was my communication under pressure, and I also have a slight lisp, and I’m wondering if that could impact future interviews in the maritime field. However, at the Marine Institute, I’ve already completed the marine medical, and the doctor assessed my speech, noted no issues, and cleared me.

I was wondering how difficult are marine engineering interviews? One of the reasons I’m leaving software is the brutal 5 - 7 rounds of interviews and I’ve cleared them before, but I don’t think I can go through that again. The Coast Guard interview was one round of behavioural, which was pretty intense, and I couldn't answer some of the questions in the STAR format. Also, would you recommend going with the Marine Institute path or trying again for the Coast Guard?

I’d really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Has anyone here applied to the marine engineering program and is currently waiting to hear back about next steps?

I applied for Winter 2027 and was wondering what the process is like after applying through the EducationPlannerBC portal. I uploaded my school diploma. How long did it take for you to hear back, and what were the next steps? I hear there is an interview as well?

Would really appreciate any info. Thanks!
