Canadian HR
Hi,
What have your experiences been with Canadian HR - are they all slow and need the odd email to keep them focused? I'm in a situation where I've had 2 interviews and they said they want to arrange a 3rd, but the trail seems to have gone cold......or am I being impatient? TIA, S |

Swaziland is totally opposite. But Canada is laid back compared with the UK. That seems to be one of the features of Canada that endears it to Britons when they come here on holiday (vacation). The only problem is that, if it's laid back when one is on holiday, it doesn't suddenly wake out of its stupour when one is job hunting. x |

Yes they're slow as a blind sloth on a bad day but dispatching more emails will piss them right off.

Generally speaking, Canadian HR is bloody slow. It can, however, move very quickly when it wants to. We are going through this at the moment. Souvette became aware, over a couple of drinks with mates, of a job opening less than two weeks ago. She starts in mid-December. And we're talking government here, possibly the slowest of the lot.
