I'm at that point righ tnow...I just thought that since this is my last year in the fall it would be good to have a job in my field of work. Now I'm just looking for anything...no leads though |

I'm sorry, I don't want to be a downer.. but I have a really good friend who graduated Criminology from U of T with a 96% total Average.. and she still can't find a job here in Toronto in that field after two years... I talked to her a lot and she said that she would have no problem finding a job in the States however in Canada it's very difficult. Keep trying I don't mean to discourage you but think about working in the U.S as an option. Goodluck! |

No I haven't...I wouldn't even know where to start though. I'm only looking for a summer job for a student, I have one more year to go in my under grad.
My dad just told me the Windsor Police Association called and would like to set up a meeting. I'm not gonna get my hopes TOO high up though, I don't want to be uber disappointed again. |

I find the mentality "always hope for the best, but dont expect it" helps girl :)
thats the way i try to look at things to avoid disappoints in situations... the key is that you still have that hope :D |

I once got a job for the Guvern.... I meant Government as a case management officer in the penitentiary system. Job was handle the convicts' files, review them, meet with the perps, and recommend if they should get back to society early or not.
Civil Service jobs pay well over time, almost impossible to get fired, and you retire nicely. I have a B.S.Sc and took the intro crim courses, and I got in. Interesting work. |

| lisa you should really emphasize on networking and just trying to talk to as many people as you can. build contacts in everyplace possilbe and jump on any oppurtunity you see...even if it seems out of reach. impressions are everything so if you leave a lasting one with someone you never know what they may offer you one day. don't give up babe....things will fall into place ;) |

I feel your pain. I've been looking for a job since March, and hell - I even sent in a few applications for student summer jobs back at the start of March.
I've also had 3 recruiters cold-call me out of the blue, gone to three interviews, sent out atleast 20 resumes -- and I am still jobless.
The problem I am running into -- "Sorry, we want a full time/perm employee", so I'm now starting to lie about planning on going back to school.
I think I'm going to give this untill the end of the month, and unless I have any solid leads I'm just gunna apply at en Tim Hortons or something. I'd much rather get a job in IT/programming/web development or something - but its proving to be a bitch.
Even applying for contract jobs/etc I see on craigslist and its not getting me anywhere. |
