Recently I feel so deflated from the amount of companies that have rejected me / not even looked at my CV.
How do I let this not get to me?! Or is it personal?!

It's not personal. It's just the state of the market. Not that that makes it any better or anything, but you're experiencing the same thing millions of others are grappling with right now, myself included.

This is where you start to think to yourself as to how insane it is for us to put all our fate and reliance on the “superiors” in the corporate world. Screw that. Time to build your own cash flow outside of corporate America. Very frustrating and I wish you the best.

That feeling is so real, and you’re not imagining it, BUT it’s not personal. This market is brutal, and a lot of rejections have more to do with timing, volume, or internal decisions than your resume.

The same thing has been happening to me. I’ve been looking for a new role for over six months and haven’t been getting any hits. You can’t take it personally—the job market is extremely tough right now. Hang in there and keep applying.

Thanks so much, all the best to you with your job search as well!

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it. I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
