Thumbs up Im Knackered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Im back from a week of interviews in the GTA and Im knackered!! 8 interviews in 4 days has just about fried my brain!!! Its lucky I had a decent hotel and comfy hire car or I'm almost certain I wouldn't of lasted the week!!!
Out of 8 interviews I was offered 4 jobs there and then, 1 company said it was a very positive meeting and they needed to see the results of a personality test I had to take before formally offering me a job and the other 3 offered me jobs in principal but had to check everything out with their HR departments first.So all in all it was a pretty good week. Everyone I met was really friendly and couldn't do more to make me feel comfortable.
It goes to show that if your willing to put the effort in doing research and sending Emails then you can find the job your looking for.
If anyone else is heading to Canada for interviews the the only advice I can give is do as much research as you can before you get there!!!

I have a very small smile on my face at the minute but am waiting until things are signed sealed and delivered before I move up to the full cheshire cat grin!!!!!!

Fingers crossed the real journey is about to begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, which hotel did you stay at?

And I stayed in the Monte Carlo Inn, Oakville.
Basic, fairly cheap and the staff were great.
