It's all sketchy "M1 Synergy" and "Vector Marketing" and other companies i've just never heard of. I'm getting frustrated.
The position I'm in right now (inside sales for a building product company) is just not very stimulating. Sure, I'm fairly busy, but the work i'm doing just doesn't seem to interest me. I'm a salesman in my core, i know that much- i need to interact with people, move around, communicate! I'm an extremely social person and I love presenting ideas and finding solutions. People seem think Calgary is busting at the seams with jobs! Are they all just labour and fast food jobs? Where are all the interesting, decent paying, entry level jobs?
I don't think it's my resume and cover letter... but if anyone wants to take a look at them PM me.

From my perspective, entry level jobs, like the one you have now, are there to get you experience so that you can move into your dream job later on. Give it time, get some solid experience where you can, then move on once you have the experience your ideal company wants. Calgary is notorious for not having good marketing jobs out there...most marketing majors I know ended up doing accounting/finance type jobs.
