Re: Leasing/renting - Vancouver

A good walk around the west end will yield results, as they post vacancies on signs outside the properties. Also, the west end has several community noticeboards where people advertise for flatmates...

1a. Very first thing to do was to get mobiles for me and wife. We brought our unlocked phones over from the UK so we only wanted a monthly plan with a SIM card. Very expensive compared to UK. ...

Re: Vancouver Real Estate Roller Coaster

That is an awesome sim!

Well, if trend analysts like Gerald Celente et al are to be believed, the ending is spot on.

Re: CV/Resume Writer in Calgary Area

As others have said, you don't necessarily need a resume writer in a particular city.

Re: Canadian jobs situation

I've worked for 2 of the most prominent search firms in Alberta. I can pretty much guarantee you that 100% fees don't exist.

On top of that, the legal recruitment field is notorious for low...

Re: Canadian jobs situation

It's possible, but highly unlikely. I believe the main legal recruiting firm here in Vancouver charge less than 10% of the employees salary. So, a Lawyer earning $70,000 would yield a $7,000 fee...
