We have both applied for some home based call center jobs, very recently though so have to wait and see if anything comes from it.

I think it needs a complete do over. I may need to find a short term loan and just pay a professional resume writer, I think the fact I have never been able to create an effective one means it's time...

Re: Pay check to pay check living, about half of Canadians do.

I know it's not good. Better then what I have ever created alone, but still not what I would call good or effective.

Re: Pay check to pay check living, about half of Canadians do.

I cannot recall. Its possible, however I lack the memory to recall if I ever had anyone look it over. But if anyone does, I'll send a redacted copy.

Re: Pay check to pay check living, about half of Canadians do.

Wages are not keeping up with cost of living especially the big essentials like housing and food.

Rents where I am have about doubled in the last 10 years, wages have moved very little, but...

Re: Pay check to pay check living, about half of Canadians do.

Mentioned above about the resume being checked over by someone, it's been checked over by the govt sponsored work center who are also the ones who helped create it.

How much of an expert or talent...

For sure.

I would get a degree if I were smart enough, but school has never been something I did well in.

Re: Pay check to pay check living, about half of Canadians do.

That is how I feel.

I started working in 1996 and have worked in 3 industries, airline, hotel, and retail and at no point has any company ever offered min wage. Until this one.

Re: Pay check to pay check living, about half of Canadians do.

The point to unions is to improve working conditions and pay, min wage is pathetic for any union job and then to add in union dues on top.

Non-union places will pay you based on experience, where...

Re: Pay check to pay check living, about half of Canadians do.

And here Super Store which is Loblaws owned pays min wage where Wal Mart and just about every other US big box store that has no union pays more.

Odd world when union jobs are paying min wage.

Re: Pay check to pay check living, about half of Canadians do.
