anyone got a hookup for any jobs?
Ok its time to swallow my pride.
I've been seeking full-time employment for a few months now without any luck. All the postings and adds i've seen are for jobs through temporary agencies (the devil).
I am looking for full-time employment in and around the hamilton/burlington/oakville area. It doesn't matter what its doing as long as there is some job security.
If anyone has and tips for sucessful job seeking i'm all ears. I've tried, temp agencies, job banks, posting my resumee on all sorts of online job banks (monster, workopolis) without any real sucess.
I hate to do this, but i gotta put food on the table.
Thanks in advance.

bro, enterprise is hiring a few ppl right now... PM and I'll give u the number of the HR supervisor. Im going for an interview tomorrow but Im going in part time.
I hear that they are also lookiing for Manager Trainee...they put u in a 1-2 yr program where u work and train to be a manager, 35K/year is what IVe heard... but Im sure it bumps up when u are done your training.
just pm and u can call the HR and then hopefully she can tell u how to go about getting it.

i've got an in house forklift license from Procter and Gamble...i drove a forklift doing shipping/recieving there for 1.5 years.
But in-house licenses don't count for squat.

We just hired someone new.
Only problem is right now we are only hiring on 6 month contract basis'.
So after 6 months you might not have a job again.
Plus it is only part time to start.
BUT.
I made over 33 000$$ last year working part time. (3 or 4 days a week)
So its not too bad.
I know we will be hiring soon too.
Because a few people are leaving right now.

I emailed over 47 potential employers today. I did not look on monster.ca or anything like that. I knew the type of place I wanted to work at, and I just emailed them. Got a couple phone calls already within 1 hour of sending the email. One place wanted me to go to Florida for the whole month of March but I couldn't cuz I gotta finish school. He said to call back in a week to see if he has anything else for me. I'm definetly calling back, and I have a feeling I will be able to get the job.
