I'm feeling a bit disappointed. I've been job searching for a while, but I still haven't landed a role. Does anyone have any tips for me?

I'm worried about my unemployment benefits running out, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to pay my bills. I don’t want to end up homeless.

What should I do?

It's a bad job market, so don't be too hard on yourself, a lot of what's happening is just bad timing. If you're not getting interviews it's possible your resume just isn't doing what it has to. You might want to think about strengthening that however you can. Also, turn on the networking effort. Get in touch with people you've worked with and let it be known you're looking for a job. If someone doesn't know of an opening, they may steer you to someone who does. That's the real power of networking, the friend of a friend effect.

Thanks for your guidance.

Get some help on your resume, work with a staffing agency, increase networking for referrals. Good luck!

Took me 10.5 months to be exact! I’m still in utter shock of how long it took. This job market is HORRIBLE. I’m happy to finally see a pay check.

Depends on multiple factors such as - region, job type and seniority level.
I'm in Toronto and while the job market is pretty slow right now, there are still roles out there for which the banks keep hiring all year round. Most of these roles are sales focused and you will need to network with people in the bank to get infront of the hiring manager

Thank you so much. Yes, I will network within the banking sector.

Are you getting interviews?

No prob! Good luck in your search!
