Lookback: 2 years after returning to Canada

Struggling to get interviews after 11 months of full-time job searching

I've been rejected thousands of times, despite tailored applications and a strong background

What I wish I knew
"I should have REGISTERED with job boards and used recruiter networks to get my foot in the door"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't underestimate the power of networking and being proactive in your job search"
