have been applying for IT Help Desk roles in Canada for 6 months with no luck. I have a Computer Science diploma, ITIL and CompTIA A+ certifications, and 3 years of experience (2 years in IT support at NetGains + 1 year in front desk customer service).

I have had interviews but no offers yet. Any advice on improving my applications, resume, or job search strategy would be greatly appreciated.

I am open to relocation anywhere in Canada.

Thank you for your time.

You have great certs and background! I'm surprised you haven't landed something - I'm sorry.

Did you try some resume template from internet ? Most of them are really eye-catching
