Interviewed for a couple IT positions. Did pretty well in both of them, hopefully I get a 2nd interview for at least one of the places.

Do you make sure your cover letter and résumé is relative to the position you're applying for? E.G when I applied for the job I am at now since it's an internet company I made sure to make my résumé and cover letter match with it and got hired pretty fast, this also helped when I worked for DND. By this I mean don't add things to your résumé that aren't relative to the job, so if you are applying for a technical job don't talk about your amazing baby sitting skills (just an example)

Also try different style résumés and if you ever reapply somewhere definitely do not use the same one. I also always gave them a call or checked up with them personally and asked for an update if they had checked it or not, showing initiative is always good.

If it's a place like a fast food restaurant or store you could always shop/eat there casually as well and build up some connections before hand which would also help your chances.

Topic is about jobs, not only did I just name what my job is now and what it use to be, but I also replied to somebody with what could be helpful information about getting a job.

No sense in making a new thread about resumes and applying for jobs when we have one here (that it is sort of dead and has been about applying for jobs for a while already) in the future don't call someone out for being off-topic because that's just you being off-topic as well so is this reply but I'm just trying to clarify that what I said really wasn't off-topic.

Not replying to anymore posts about this since I don't want to start an argument but yeah, no harm in trying to offer helpful advice.

Will do!
Joining as an AC Op. If everything goes well, I could be posted to any base operated by the RCAF. Perhaps Trenton will be my new home in a few months.

Used to do research work for the police crime lab - really fun and totally different to TV shows like CSI. Currently in negotiations to have my research paper published. :D

I hear prostitution pays well so I quit my job as a civil engineer.

No one's hired me yet though. D;

I'm a lifeguard at a local aquatic center.

Still in high school, but its good to be occupied during the weekends.

Got a really nice help desk position lined up, finishing the hiring process. They said the position is basically mine, and I just have to finish a few steps in the process. I'll be making over $40,000/year after training. Just hoping they don't back out on me.
