Well, it’s been 2 weeks.
And I’ve not heard a thing from my application for a job with Dell Canada. Didn’t expect I would, but it was worth a gamble. Back to firing off multiple applications in multiple directions and seeing what happens. Wonder if I’ll have any better luck with Rogers…

Let’s see how well this new resume pays off.
I fired off an application for a position at one of Dell Canada’s Ottawa offices last night. IT’s for an entry level tech support job, pretty much, and they’re not looking for any insane amount of education it doesn’t look like… they *prefer* at least a year’s experience in the … Read the rest

And it’s about time, I think.
I finally relented and went to pick up my resume today. It only took me, like… oh… I dunno… somewhere in the neighbourhood of 2 months to actually go and do it. So now I get to do that job hunting thing with a resume that actually makes me look … Read the rest

The after sleep plan of action…
Not hard to figure out. Get my resume, possibly go for coffee, watch tv, and torment the dogs; can’t go anywhere unless they’ve been properly payed attention to or they start looking for crap to destroy. Stupid dogs. Oh, and curse my poorness for being the reason I can’t have … Read the rest

Well, I try…
But I’m about to give up on our friend Online Support. They don’t like to hire me. Guess it comes down to moving to Ottawa. Sucks to be this pukey little town, eh? But, on the bright side, I get my resume on Monday! And it only took me 3 … Read the rest

Two days later…
I’m not employed yet. They’ve still not called yet. They have until tomorrow then I start taking heads. Yeah, sucka.

So maybe hell’s frozen.
I actually got out of the house and accomplished things today. Good lord what’s wrong with me? Went to the employment agency this morning, pretty much redid my resume. and… just… generally shot the shit with people there. Still not finding decent employment, but hey, I’m looking! Well, sorta. Then, … Read the rest

Work experience necessary?
One of the job openings listed for a new office opening up about an hour from here for Teletech, a call center along similar lines as Online Support, pretty much insists you need 6 months work experience before they’ll even consider you. Which, I suppose, isn’t too bad. … Read the rest
