The Shipyards....LOL

It's Halifax. Your preaching what my last 4 years in this city has been like and why I had to settle to work at Tim hortons THREE times.

My fiance is working for a decent call centre...Admiral Insurance with REALLY good benefits. I think after your 3 month probation you get FIVE weeks paid vacation time. You would be taking calls from people in the UK about auto insurance.
They're always hiring and I have a lot of friends who work for them.

really? well I love British accents, and I could sell people insurance, haha. might have to PM you about where its at =3

Yup! I'll get all the info I can! I think they hire every second month and it's a limited amount of people. If you don't get a call back they will ask you to re-apply in 6 more months. You have to deal with cranky old Scottish men and thick Irish accents most of the time, but Kyle says so far he's had great callers!

They're on Bayer's Road but will be moving into the old Bay in Mumford early next year. When Kyle gets home from work I'll get more info for you!

What area are you looking for work in? I wouldn't give up...I recently got an accounting job as did my sister.

I handed them out near the bridge, all over Halifax, and all over my neighborhood.

This is really not good to be honest, I've been in the same situation myself looking for part-time work along with my college studies and it always seem no matter how relevent and qualfied you are to me it feels like 'who you know' most of the time around here, I've heard so many stories of my friends claiming jobs because theyir relatives work their and such...happened recently in fact. But I can understand your frustration as that is unfair and wrong you are getting casted aside for people less qualified than you.

Well I am sorr to hear about your frustration and I can totally understand it because that's how I feel at the moment, it is a shame you can not move either...

To be honest as for your question I really can not answer that, It just is unfair and wrong to me...Sorry to hear such misery from you and I really hope things look up to you.

thanks adam, that means a lot ^.=.^

its strange though, I DO know people, but that doesn't even help :(

You are most welcome, I do try my best to help in any way possible ^_^

Well that is quite strange indeed because I feel everyone who HAS connections get a job (well, technically speaking of course), I don't understand why you have not been able to get a job. It really does suck in my honest opinion and you deserve a lot better. As I have said I wish better fortune upon you :)
