Jobs in Vancouver

    Been in Vancouver about 5 weeks and have gotten stuff like apt, SIN no,phone etc sorted. One little problem: Jobs

    Started my job search 2 weeks ago.

    So far i have interviewed with 7 different agencies, sent cvs/résumés directly to companies, created detailed profile on Monster and Workopolis. I'd say I've applied to about 120 jobs in 2 weeks and directly to about 30 others. Have heard nothing back. I'm looking for admin or reception work. My testing results are above average,i've gotten positive feedback from recruitment consultants on my cv/interviewing style and I've got 2 excellent references but nothing has come up.

    Has anybody any suggestions/ hints on getting work in Vancouver? I'm starting to go slightly mad with boredom at this point.:o

    Yeah I've been using CL to apply to a huge chunk of the jobs and heard nothing back. There seems to be a phishing scam/email harvesting going on and I'd say half the jobs I've applied to may not even exist.

    Cheers for the reply though. I thought someone may have some tips apart from monster,cl etc.
    Hopefully something will turn up soon
