Employment / Hi Casper

Hey Casper,

I don't have too much advice, only to let you know I'm in a similar situation. I have recently graduated from a 2 year college program and I've been applying like crazy EVERYWHERE (I'm in Canada). What I have noticed is that no one seems to care that I went to school. In fact, one really nice SM who helped me with my resume (thanks Elizabeth and Erin!) even suggested I don't list my education.

I know it works differently in the US, but in Canada, we have to start as Apprentices. Maybe you'd have a better shot of an apprenticeship (or whatever it is in the USA) if you had education, but if you keep plugging away at the non-paying or non-union paying jobs, I bet you'll get an impressive resume built up and education won't matter.

Best of luck. I guess I'll be more qualified to comment once I get work (wish me luck, interview tomorrow!!!!). I say, give it a try. Apply everywhere and see what sticks!

SMNetwork Archives / Would someone be willing to help me with my resume?

« on: Jan 16, 2005, 01:45 pm »

Hi there! I graduated from a Production program last year and am just now starting to look for work for summer 2005. I've got some experience but am having trouble with my resume/cover letter. Would anyone out there who has experience actually getting jobs via resumes and cover letters be willing to e-mail with me and have a look at mine???

You can e-mail me at jessinedmonton@hotmail.com. I would GREATLY appreciate the help! Really, I would!

Thanks so much!
