Default Well things are looking up..

Since yesterday I have received 5 calls for interviews. I had 2 today, 1 tomorrow and 1 on Monday.

The 5th I haven't been able to reach, they called while I was in one of the interviews, no the phone wasn't on during the interview.

I hope *fingers crossed* one leads to a job.

After not getting any calls for months, this turn of events has been strange but welcomed.

Guess students going back really does open up jobs.

Good luck - what is it like being unemployed in canada? Is there a decent structure of advice/help from job centres/agencies to get you back in work? How long have you been looking?

Services available and quality all depend on where you are. There are employment centres that will assist you with resume writing, job search tips and things like that. I used them for awhile but the resume they helped me with was rather poor.

I ended up just making my own.

For help with financial issues, there is EI but you need certain amount of qualifying hours, which I didn't have so no income since January. I have been looking full-stop since April.

Only this week did interviews start coming in. Well I had 1 in May and one in August but 5 scheduled in 2 days, first time this year that has happend.
