Being Initiative in Looking for Work.....

Today, my aunt brought me to several place to just drop my Resume & hope for a chance to meet with the HR people. Today's weather was very very cold & I have to dress up in the Monkey Suit which I feel weird on wearing..... this is the one & only suit I have since my University dayz abt 10 yrs ago. (Luckily it still Fits)

We went to 2 places but unfortunately for both places, I didn't get to meet up with the HR personnel & have to just leave my resume with the receptionist. At the 1st place, I have waited for nearly 45 minutes but to avail that the HR Personnel is not available to meet me. Here in Canada there is such things as Hidden Job Market, these jobs are normally not advertise anywhere & are commonly filled by people's recommendation. So what i need to do is be initiative & sell myself to the company I'm interested & hopefully they have a position somewhere for me to fill.

As expected, the engineering jobs here are limited but when I search on the net for Engineering or Manufacturing firms there are quite a few of them. It is either most are inside the hidden job market or they are not hiring anybody at all. Nonetheless, I have look for more companies that I could go to "SELL" myself. Moreover, I will be meeting a Career Counselor whom help new migrant to look for jobs & hopefully they can help me to look for jobs too.....

goodluck
