You: "I know numerous people who have recently made major jumps in their professional careers due to opportunities. I also know lots trade people who are constantly working tons and looking for people."
Me: "It would definitely help a lot of us, if you provided some actual names of these contractors.'
you: "I'm not telling unless you disclose what type of work you are looking for."
you: "in my opinion (and I've been hiring for 14+ yrs in the IT sector), for entry level Developer types,
i'd rather see someone who has a diploma and work experience in any sector (McD's, Walmart, mowing lawns, etc). I see many who have 0 experience, never had a job, fresh out of school. Having at least some type of empoloyment, it shows they know what it likes to have a boss, show up on time, communicate, etc etc."
Did it ever occur to you that maybe...just maybe some of us (including myself) will take about literally anything available? With some exceptions, people in general like to work. Hell I agreed to a lawn care job two weeks ago (that starts late April), if I could not find anything by that time.

so 93.9% canadians have jobs! almost every career fair has 1000's people lined up, it's been like that for decades.

Actually, the employment rate is 63.4%
And no, not "every career fair has 1000's of people lined up."

using Indeed, there's 6961 jobs posted for Winnipeg. Assume 30% are BS, that still leaves you with 4900 active openings. looking at "last 7 days" theres 1300 posted.

Did you ever bother to find out how many people are applying for said jobs? At best 30-35. At worst, there are a few I've seen that have 1,000 applicants. However, it must be my fault for being out of work for two months.
Are you always this obtuse?
