Hey guys,
Figured I'd chime in here with the other CP'ers looking for work. I am a 25 y/o Finance & Accounting Business grad from UBC. I worked the past 2.5 years in the Accounting and Commercial Real Estate Industry but quit my job in September to travel South America for 4 months. Like many of you I have struggled to find any work since I got back in early January. I have kept a spreadsheet and since January 11th, have applied for 39 jobs - 9 rejections, 7 initial interviews, 5 of which the position has now been put on hold due to COVID and 23 which I haven't heard from. I have been extremely selective as to what I apply for and haven't bothered to apply for any jobs I am not qualified for, so basically applying for EL or Associate level positions.
Figured I'd use CP as another resource if anyone knows or their company is looking for a younger, greener level employee with experience in the finance, accounting and real estate industries.
Times are tough but we will eventually bounce back! So for the fellow job searchers, I know how you all feel and how frustrating it is. Keep at it though CP
