How I did it:
Pure random luck, I guess. The more stones you turn, the better chance you can find the treasure underneath.
Being flexible might be a good approach. I started my job search according to my industrial and geographic preference. After multiple major setbacks, I began to apply for jobs in any industry and at any location desperately. Then the result turned out to be a job with the function I do not actually love most, and a location not my top choice. But it has a fat six figure salary and a Fortune top 20 brand, so hope it might be a good step stone for a future career switch.

Well the job I applied for on September 1st, got a call back on October 11th, had an interview for on October 25th, started part-time on November 16th…FINALLY changed to full-time status on January 30th!!!
DO NOT give up! I never thought it would take that long to secure a job, and this is the job I really really wanted. So I feel like it was meant to be that I didn’t ever get calls back from the many other jobs I applied for. The world works in mysterious ways! Embrace it and just go with the flow and try to stay positive!!! =) Good luck to all you job searches out there. Don’t give up whatever you do! 1 day ago

It has taken awhile but I let go of the negative associations I has about finding a job like ” I NEED to find this job or life will fall apart”. I realized that my husband and I had enough for rent, food and most other bills and that we weren’t going to starve to death if I didn’t have a job right this very moment. I ran into the manager of an Aaron Brothers while framing my work for a gallery, she says she needs someone and will be hiring in 2 weeks, this is a very positive lead. 1 day ago

A lot of people I know got jobs because their dad asked his co-worker who has a friend of a friend in a high place.
So I’m going to ask my dad’s friend in Guelph. He just finished his Masters at the university and told me that if I had any questions/issues/favours to call him. That I shall do. 2 days ago

I received an invitation to an interview next Wednesday for a internship in recruitment company. It is a really low paid position, but that would give me a great opportunity to get into recruitment and that is a chance that I have been looking for quite a while now. Fingers crossed and I hope that it will work :3 2 days ago

Its been YEARS since I’ve been on this website. For awhile I had forgot I had got one of these but through some course Here I am once again. When I set this goal I was fifteen. I got my first job a few months after I turned sixteen and worked there for almost two years. I got another job after I graduated high school and worked there another two years. Almost a year ago I moved to a different city and got a job two months later and have had it since. I work at a Best Buy in the Gaming Department. So far its the best job I’ve had yet. 2 days ago

How I did it: I applied at several places in my area, but wasn't called back for an interview until finally getting a call from the place I work now. It felt sort of random but I went in for the interview and made myself look as good as possible. I was hired on the spot and felt glad. Read how I did it… 3 days ago
