No actual person to talk to. The lack of response has been the hardest part. Easily a hundred resumes, and one interview. Putting a lot of attention into making every application perfect.

The jobs I'm applying to have gone from career material, to parallel move, to I'm overqualified, to minimum wage local. It's disheartening. I would do an oil and gas job. I don't have any experience in that field, but have administration experience and am not afraid to get my hands dirty. If there is a secret handshake, I'm a quick learner.
Have you considered the rigs, or field work?

Also, Prince Rupert is going to be...........busy....
