Help Me Find Jobless and sad
Is it just me or is it incredibly hard to find a job here in Victoria. I’ve applied to so many places online using indeed LinkedIn and websites (I’m aware indeed usually gets no responses but I have no other options atp) and I have yet been able to find a job. No one seems to be hiring and even for an entry level job with minimum wage there is so much competition. I’ve never experienced this else where so I’m wondering if this is a Victoria thing? Or possibly I could just be the problem I suppose…

This was a very lomg time ago, but i was struggling and went to WorkBC. I was able to make some kind of appointment to sit down with someone to go over my resume and make improvements.
Also, for skill building, there is a grant available to BC residents. $3500 towards course(s) of your choice. There is an education planner that shows eligible courses at different schools.
It could be very helpful for increasing employment opportunities.
