Yeah, it seems to be different from case to case, but I think now you apply for Cerb through CRA.


When I lost my job back in Mid March I applied for EI, and not CERB, and I have to do the bi-weekly reports to keep active, I don't have to do the Cerb application as far as I can see. since I have an active EI claim.


On the job search side of thing, I'm now starting to get emails informing me that companies that I applied for are suspending their searches. At least I'm getting responses. I just don't see much breaking loose for a while and that's depressing and scary.



It feels like the only companies that are hiring right now hardcore are either straight commission jobs, that I have no interest in, or I'm getting a bunch of calls a day from Primemerica and World Financial Group that I have absolutely no interest in.


I applied for 3 roles today that are interesting, but I expect progress to be slow. Last time I was unemployed it took me 6 weeks to get a job, and I was getting response right away when I sent out my resume/application, now its a different beast.



I feel sorry for people that are in desparate need to get a job to head off income disruption.



BTW I spoke to the nice lady at Safeways who does their recruiting, at Southcentre. Not because I was all fired up about stocking shelves, but more curiosity. But all they're doing is hiring part time, and they're not hiring they feel like they have too many people right now, but they're not looking at getting rid of anyone, just probably reducing shifts.
