The eighteenth week in review
I've gotten a few recruiter calls since I resaved my resumes, but the market seems to have slowed down again. I set up more agents so emails get sent out when new opportunities are posted rather than having to surf for them. As long as I have identified some possibilities or have an interview scheduled, I'm a happy camper.
On the IT front, I'm still waiting to get my application cleared at WSIB. It's now become a matter of principle. It's dragged on so long I don't care if I get an interview or not (our tax dollars at work?). I called a recruiter about a large number of postings at a Christian client. It turned out to be World Vision Canada. They are using a lot of technologies that I am familiar with but not quite expert enough. I responded to a couple of job board postings (Application Support Analyst @ RBC, Infrastructure Specialist @ IBM via TES) that I probably won't hear anything back. The good news is that I got a bite on the resume I sent to the old CICS team leader, and I have an interview after March break. Why does the whole world come to a stop just because the kids are out of school?
On the teaching front, I completed my supply teaching application with the Toronto District School Board. I'm still studying Linear Algebra and I got a pager for the tutoring position. I haven't heard anything back from the interview I went to last week, but in this case, no news is good news.
