After being laid off from an O&G company back in June, and over 100 applications, lots of PFO's (some almost immediately, some even PFO'd me more than once) and just a handful of interviews, I'll finally be joining the workforce again next week!!
Landed an IT role with a company based out of the US, so it will be 100% remote. An old boss of mine who is working there found out I was looking and asked if I would be interested in joining their team. I obviously said yes as it sounds like good opportunity to learn some new skills and do more meaningful work, rather than what I was doing before, which was basically taking orders and reacting when head office breaks something.
Starting off as a contractor until they can onboard me as an employee. They have never hired a Canadian before, so it's a new process for them. They do have an operating entity in Calgary from an acquisition so that will help.
Thanks to all those in the thread for the helpful info and for making me not feel like I was alone in this!
