After college I was unemployed for 9 months. Applied to 33 places. I literally told myself I would work anywhere for any money if I didn't get the 33rd job. The starting salary was 50k. 3 years later I'm at the same job for 64k. In retrospect what got me the job was that it was through a recruiter. They lied to them and embellished my resume in my behalf even though they were hired by them.

I applied to over 150 places, including cold calling half of them. handing resumes in person etc. I heard back from 3 and got an interview with 1 which is who I work for now. The job market is fucking shit.

If you are looking for work instantly, just so you dont become homeless, find ads that have immediate hires, the job will probably be shit but at least you wont have to struggle to find work

When I was 17, I went to the nearest factory and gave the boss a firm handshake and got the job. Three years later I found my wife and bought a house.

You rascals should just work harder. Now excuse me, while I live off my pension.

And this, folks, is how you advertise your recruitment agency.

>>1931347 See?

>>1930719
Incorrect.

I received a call back from BMO Bank of Montreal 4 months after sending my resume. I had worked at Starbucks 2 months already. Some companies are literally that slow.

But after 1.5 months, your chances are slim.

>>1931839
what qualifications do you have that you worked for starbucks and bmo

>> No.1931886

The didn't hire you because there may have been a typo or maybe a misplaced comma or fullstop.

You should double check these things before sending them in OP. Especially the cover letter. Those HR ladies have degrees in English so their degrees dont go completely to waste.

Lol... he didn't advertise it.
