A couple of things.
I had an interview yesterday, it was a 10 minute pre interview to the interview stage because they had so many applicants. Now its not a position that I'm all fired up about, I could do it, and do it well, but I don't have much interest in the field, so I'm torn, but on the other hand its good practice, and its an opportunity.
I was applying for one position today, and they wanted answers to essay questions.
What would you do in your first 90 days? What would be the measure of success in this position? Why would this be a good match. Realistically its dumb, part of interviewing is to see if there is a personality match, how a person handles pressures and questions. Having people write essays to me is just lazy recruiting.
Fewer and fewer positions to apply for and a lot are more then 30 days old, which makes me assume that companies are just sitting on applicants til things get clearer.
I guess I just have to keep the faith that things will work out.

I wouldn't get to discouraged Captain, this is a horrible environment to be looking for work and for those doing the hiring, but I believe that once we turn that corner, Alberta will play a key role in the turnaround of our economy and country and with it will come opportunity.
keep the faith.
And if that doesn't happen, can't you go back to that sweet cereal gig?
