Unemployed

now I am depressed. Sent out a lot of applications. I cold call companies on my list and no one wants to speak to me. I am running out of money and I am starving in Vancouver.

Hello person I don't know anything about.

Apply to event services companies like the Vcec or nasco. Wage usually starts around $18.00. and all you might do is push road cases for a while and work up depending on your skill set.

You will need steel toe boots but army and navy sells them for $80.00

I was homeless four years ago and this was my in. I went to the welfare office, applied for a $500.00 cheque bought boots and that was it.

Good luck.

The Carnegie sells decent meals for cheap. I lived on fries from Belgium fries on the Drive once a day for months. Really try and work your contacts, I have gotten most of my jobs through friends. Take Care this is a hard season to be unemployed.

Don't give up. Just put on some nice clothes, nice shoes, and go door-to-door with a professional folder and stack of CV's. Keep applying in person until you get something; just stick it out. Don't let rejection get you down- that's a normal part of applications anyway. Keep throwing shit at the wall until something sticks, and don't let the bastards bring you down. All it takes is shaking hands with the right person, and you're hired. Seriously, you can do it. You just have to decide to get it. Even if it's something you're not initially enthused about, you can always keep applying to stuff you really want on the side. Now go get em'!!

P.S: I know the feels; I've gone to different countries on work visas and had to do this. Just show them you're looking for a job and be straight up. You've got this!!
