Almost without fail, you are guaranteed to see some sort of story on the latest employment figures in your daily newspaper, on your nightly news program or on the internet. It is an unavoidable fact that people today are struggling to find work more than almost any other point in history, and the pictures and data is there to prove it. Looking for jobs in Toronto is difficult, yes, but it is really no more a strained employment society than anywhere else in the world or in Canada. Getting some sort of job is not impossible, not is it implausible. But it will involve effort.
The pool of people looking to find work has expanded exponentially in the past three or four years, so the first thing to acknowledge is that you will be facing an awful lot of competition for each placement. Hundreds of candidates battling for one vacancy is not unheard of. To get ahead of the rest, working well and efficiently is a must.
The most important downfall many people have when seeking work is being too picky. In the past, people could afford to be particular about their choice of job. These days, any form of employment is an awful lot more than many people have, so knuckling down and accepting your lot is a sad fact of the world.
Even if you have a very high skill in a particular area, that does not mean that you can necessarily be able to find a placement in that industry. Finding related (or unrelated) places to work may help your chances of finding a place to work.
Making yourself more employable is easy. Drafting a tailored, professional and readable resume is a must. It is of vital importance to list everything which you feel would make a person employable on it, including prior skills, hobbies and interests which relate to the job in question, and educational history. Making each covering letter unique is hugely important, and is definitely noticed by prospective employers. Do not wait to be asked for a CV before giving them out. Often people who ask for jobs which theoretically do not exist may find themselves in employment before too long.
Every day should be spent pounding the streets. Handing out your information is a must. Anyone and everyone is a potential boss.
Be courteous, friendly and outgoing. Taking an interest, and showing it, is important. Following up with a phone call can keep you in their mind.
If all else fails and falls by the wayside, job agencies and recruiters are often signing up potential candidates. They match workers with jobs, and will not take an upfront fee. They may, however, ask for a small section of payment upon your employment.
Looking for jobs in Toronto is awkward and difficult, but it is no more problematic than anywhere else in the world. Hard work and a willingness to adapt to difficult circumstances can separate you from the pack.
