Good luck in your job search! Being unemployed is awful... I struggled for many years before finding my current position and depression set in pretty badly. My best advice would be to try and do something toward finding a job every day, even if it's just something small. I also sought out help through the programs at Work BC, and it helped with respect to finding people that could relate to being unemployed, but they weren't very helpful when it came time to give advice about finding a professional science position. For instance, a one page resume isn't going to work when you need to list all of your publications.
And a random addition to the thread for anyone (hope I'm not overstepping, please delete my post if I am):
We are currently looking for a meteorologist in St. John's. PM me with questions
