Lost my job 4 months ago because of a company restructure. Since then, I've been applying everywhere but keep getting ignored or turned down. Money's getting tight now and I'm really stressed, but I finally got 2 interviews next week for jobs I'm actually qualified for. How do I act excited about the job without seeming like I'm begging? In other words, I need advice on not looking desperate even though I am.

You don’t have to hide the fact that you’re excited. What makes it seem desperate is when all the focus is on needing the job. Put the spotlight on your strengths and what drew you to the company. That shows confidence, not desperation. Good luck!

Hi all,

I am an IT professional having almost 5 years of experience and want to move to Canada for PR. My CRS score is not upto the cut off. I need someone who can help in earning connections points for Manitoba PNP program.

As it allows having an acquaintance or a friend to earn those 20 points, it can help my PR application.

Anyone who is PR and resident of Manitoba can dm me to discuss around it. I am ready to pay for this assistance as well.
