The job search is over! Hooray!
I am pleased to announced that I have accepted a position with an awesome company in Burnaby.
What I was looking for:
- Office located in Vancouver or Burnaby
- Full Time
- Many other benefits & perks
Here are the stats:
- Time off work: 2.5 months
- Jobs applied for: 93 (Yes, I tracked every application!)
- 70 different job titles
- Of the 93 companies only 9 informed me I wasn't considered for the short-list (their loss!) and 1 was a scam
- Interviews: 3 companies & 1 agency (the job I got was direct hire)
- Turned down 2 jobs due to low pay
What helped this time is that my finances were much improved than the last time. From the severance that I received + EI, I am only out 1.5 full pay cheque. This wasn't an issue due to the extra money I received from last month and budgeting very well!
The relief is indescribably and most say good/bad things come in 3 so I hope my streak of layoffs has ended and I can have a long term career with this new organization.
Yay me!
