as cheesy as it may seem, there’s no reason not to try monster.ca if you’re having a hard time finding a job.
i posted my resume there and had 2 interview offers within 24 hours of posting.
you can also search and find stuff yourself instead of waiting for them to call. i got 2 more interviews this way.
AND you can set preferences and get an automatic daily e-mail listing new jobs that fit your preferences.
temp agencies are good too though. my buddy has been at his company for over a year now, and he started there through a temp agency. he got hired on as an actual company employee on monday, so temp jobs can definitely lead somewhere.
^Naw, its not cheesy at all. But i’ve tried it all (so far) and have gotten no luck. I keep getting random email’s from monster for things like “womens fashion store manager” , “Lead engineering contractor”, etc. Waaay out of my preferences. But hopefully I’ll get a call from an agency, dealership, or anything else I applied to today lol.
Also Dave, if you could fax my resume out for me, that would help me alot. I think my copy is still saved on your PC. Just let me know via txt.
work the streets then. Ridgeway and your street dude. It’s easy. I have to send your resume out tomorrow though didn’t have time to today at work. To busy.
meh… to be totally honest, if it came down to it, i would do it just to keep sharp… and i’m sure i’d find a way to enjoy it.
working jobs like that is good for you if you cant find decent work because when you finally do find decent work you’ll know what it’s like NOT to have decent work.
i see alot of guys my age and a bit younger that seem to be spoiled and run from a good job when it requires some sacrifice.
i had considered the cut & run with my current job once or twice when things got shitty… but i sacrificed and was rewarded huge.
and trust me, i know what it’s like to do shit work…
Bing, I understand almost everything your saying. I think it’s today’s society that’s messed up my generation. Where, if you work at mickey D’s, flippin dem’ burgers, it’s not cool. And in all honesty, it isin’t, but work is work, and it beats having none and being poor. It’s just that I’m probably afraid of making that social sacrifice and working ANYWHERE for some coin… even starbucks… ergg. More then half of my life, I’ve been working at some type of shitty job or another. Not complaining, I’m actually really greatfull for going through them, and learning. Made me a better worker and harder working person all around. But yea, I guess it’s just like what Rogue Sergeant said “its all about YOU”.
Gotta get on my grind if I ever want to see my car outside of my garage.:/:
