Tsveta, I first wanted to thanks for all you have done so far. I truely appericate all the info and help you have supplied so far.

Some update for now. Sigh I don't know, the interview or even call for it are not even picking up. I remember back when I left my first job in February, it took me until June to find my previous job and still back then I got some interview calling bi-weekly. Now after I left my 2nd job, I can't even seem to get a hold on those interview call at all.

TO have a brief description about my working experience, I basically work part time... majority of my resume consist of part time ranging from 1- 3 months and my full time are pretty much 3 months (unfortunately, stupid things happen in the full time and therefore I was force to resign either due to injury or work place politic issue).

I was wondering if I have like 4-5 part time experience on there along with these 3 months full time in the resume (Which total up to 7 job not lasting > 6 month) will it make my resume look REALLY bad? Shoudl I just ignore those part time job and completely cross it?

Currently speaking I am working part time again and trying to find full time...

Sigh it is getting a bit depressing

Huckebein, you will often get the machine but don't get discouraged. prepare a little speach/summary, (like the Cover letter) with your education, qualifications and the type of job you are looking for, and every time you have to leave a message read it out slow and clear. After that send your resume by email and call back the next day. If you get the machine again, say that you've already left a message and sent your Resume. The thing is you have to get noticed and you have to remind them of you every day. Eventually they'll call you.

About your resume- there is nothing wrong with the part-time jobs. Everybody knows that a part-time job can't last long.

If you have just graduated, why not talk to your student services at the university and see if they have any job placement, I just talk an EAS course and my prof gave us tons of career options, there are jobs out there, if not in toronto or wherever your from search around Canada, or possibly even the states

hope this helps
