I acknowledge it is more difficult to gain employment today, much more so than it was in the eighties. But I also see the employment growth after the recession. Companies are hiring, albeit conservatively. If seeking employment, take the initiative. My advice for those thinking about higher education and/or pursing employment is as follows: i) Choose academic pursuits carefully with future employment in mind. Look through the help wanted ads to help you define a smart choice. ii) Choose to get a degree over a diploma if possible. Those who have degrees from respectable institution will have the advantage over those with diplomas. iii) Send out hundreds of resumes (thousands if possible). Go to a job posting site like www.jobs.to , www.workopolis.com, www.working.ca, and send to all companies hiring within your discipline area. (Send, even if they are not hiring for your exact position.) Try varying search engine strings to uncover hidden jobs. Consider this, greater than 30,000 jobs are being advertised in Toronto currently. Getting a job...is really a matter of working hard.

I have done all of the above and still can't find work. I'm university educated, pleasant, have tons of experience,(dare I say I'm white?) have contacts, excellent references, attended job fairs, put my name with an agency and so forth but somehow I'm supposed to be happy applying to Shoppers Drug Mart and groceries stores only to be turned down. Looking for work in this city sucks.
