Just a small local college with a fancy name when the province reclassified it as a University last year. I am working with the campus job office people, they are somewhat helpful but the same as most career centres, just not enough jobs in the area in the low end, unskilled department and high unemployment, 12% last I read. |
Re: Looking for work - aargh!!
I have done everything to seek employment....I am so frustrated.(no wise cracks please).
Emails, phone calls, meetings, cold calling, agencies, websites and NETWORKING . A VP from a huge construction company on Friday told me that I am more qualified than most of his Engineers, however they would consider someone 1st who has Canadian experience. He said that there is a lot of Engineers out of work at the minute and they would consider them before me. I have now applied for shop work. admin work and sales and still have not been successful as yet. I have a library of cover letters and resumes for all the job opportunities. So to all the people who have posts well done. To all the people who are still looking good luck.:thumbsup: I am climbing the walls here..... Hi Bells. How is going. |
