As soon as I quit my retail sales manager job in March, I found out I was pregnant. Now, it's June, almost July, and unfortunately am still unemployed. My husband and I are really struggling to get by with just one income and I feel like I need some advice on what I might be doing wrong. At this point I am really applying for any job possible but thought my experiences would have helped me get a job sooner than this. Thank you for any advice on what I could possibly do in getting hired soon!

I took a much different job when I found myself in a similar situation. It doesn’t look amazing on my resume, but it helped us financially and gave me something to do every day. I would say if you are really feeling the burn, lower the bar for yourself for the sake of ‘focusing on family’ and then move forward postpartum when you are ready.

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
