The Job Hunt

Recently I have noticed a lot of people looking for jobs and realized that I know a lot of sources that many people do not know about to look for employment. Here are a few of them that I use regularly that have gained me employment in the past:

• Peters New Jobs
• Indeed.ca
• Kijiji
• My Career Zone (Algonquin College Students Only)
• Workopolis
• Monster
• Craigslist
• Wow Jobs
• LinkedIn
• Reddit
• Word of Mouth/Networking
• and Company Websites

I'm sure there are a few more that I forgot to mention but these are the key ones that I have had success with, mainly Indeed.ca and LinkedIn. On Indeed.ca I tend to send out a lot of resumes but on LinkedIn I find that recruiters tend to contact me at least once per week based on my skills (this won't be the same for everyone). 

One method that I also did not mention is just walking around and seeing who has "hiring" signs hanging in their windows or at their store front. Even if there isn't a "hiring" sign speaking to a manager is a good idea as some places do not advertise that they are hiring. 

Breaking Up

Nordstrom,

It looks like I'm on the hunt for another job again since things with you didn't work out. Sorry Nordstrom, it's not you, it's me. I really enjoyed your company but I felt too pressured to do things that I don't think I was ready for. In my mind I couldn't do what you expected of me. I really am sorry for having to break it off. I am planning on moving on to bigger and better things since you are just a dead end for me right now. I hope we can still be the best of friends.

Love,

Reba

P.S. I was blinded by love for you...
