Good hunting! Do you currently work for McD?
I'm hunting for a new job...
Sort:
Yeah, until the 17th of July.
One of the competition in fast food will be a last resort, everything but the kitchen sink effort to find a new job!

Which sources of job information are you using: Classified ads, govt. employment agency, all of the online jobsearch websites, networking through friends in work, ads in workplaces & local shop windows?
Presumably you have a CV: is it compelling?
Have you done a SWOT analysis of your past work experience to guide your future job choices?
How many jobs are you actively applying for per week?
How qualified are you? Is further training a realistic option?

Camrose is looking for police constables.
Farming seems to be a key activity - though it is doubtless highly mechanised farm work.
Nestled in the heart of Alberta, Camrose is home to approximately 16,500 residents who regularly enjoy the Rose City's beautiful park system and world-class recreational facilities and events. A city whose allure and vitality are rarely rivaled, this dynamic and warm-hearted community begs to be discovered! Tourism is a big sector (not least fast food!); there should be quite a few openings there: cleaners, guides, park attendants, clerical, delivery, ...

'Although it is excruciatingly rich, horrifyingly sunny and more full of wonderfully exciting people than a pomegranate is of pips, it can hardly be insignificant that when a recent edition of Playboy magazine headlined an article with the words "When you are tired of Camrose you are tired of life", the suicide rate quadrupled overnight.'
I've got an resume (CV to you folks), and from it, I've done 6 years in fast food, 1 month in convenience store work, and two years in grocery store work. I'm trying for janitorial and grocery jobs, and a few restaurant jobs as well.
Well, it's 12 days left and still nothing. I'm a little worried myself, I just hope I can get a job before the 17th.
No interviews yet, and I may move if I have no choice, but it's not the best cause my dad helps me with groceries from time to time.
If anyone's curious to how long it is until the end of my last shift at McDonalds, there's a countdown for members at my blog counting down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds until my final shift is over.

Never buy a Big Mac from a disgruntled employee on their final day!

I noticed in one of the daily papers that one of the local inns is hiring F/T and P/T, so I'm gonna drop off my resume with a cover letter there tomorrow before work.
I got a letter from my boss offering to extend my job til the 31st (in other words until the end of July), but I declined. The manager who gave me the letter agreed with me, saying that my keeping me only to end of month was just using me for Big Valley Jamboree (a local country music festival, can double Camrose's population for 3 days), and then tossing me away like trash. I'm not about to get used, thank you very much!

Terrific! The more channels you can use, the better.
Are you sysematically going through all of the job adverts in all of the local papers?
paul211,
I am using 2 of the local Job Centers in Camrose, and have a meeting set up at one of them for next Tuesday. As for the idea of repairing computers, I don't have my A++ certification or the insurance to do that.
I do run an online business (There's a link to it from my personal site, which is linked from my profile here.), but it has not taken off yet.
I recently put my resume in at Pizza Hut where I know they are hiring FT for a Kitchen Helper, and starting wage is $11/hr. I'm gonna wait until BVJ leaves town and the holiday on Monday is over (so I'll go on Tuesday morning) and see if the manger has seen my resume yet. Here's hoping!
Hey all,
As of July 17th, my employer will terminate my job.
The owner/operator decided to do it due to what he saw as "not working to my full potential" and other stuff I thought I proved wasn't true a few months ago when I underwent a 60 day probation period. Guess he thinks with his 1 hour a day visits that that's enough time to make a decision on how hard someone works, even if it's not that busy.
So now I'm trying to find a new job before this one ends. I'll keep you all informed as to how the search goes.
