Dear Fellow CDs,
In the short time that I have been in Canada, I've had the privilege of meeting a lot of my Fellow CDs and have had the opportunity to talk with a lot of them regarding the job situation in Canada. From these conversations, I've recognized that most CDs currently struggling with the job market have a common pattern:
1. Resumes being sent out are not meeting with a response
2. The scarce interviews do not produce a positive result
3. Professional jobs are not always advertised online
I feel that all 3 factors can be addressed. Job Hunting in North America (particularly in Canada due to a smaller economy) is like conducting guerrilla warfare. There are few ground rules and a bag full of tricks that need to be employed (no pun intended ).
I would like to invite three other like-minded individuals to form a Mentor Club with me. We will start by analyzing the aforementioned points and any other issues, in order to formulate a strategy. Each mentor can then take 3-4 CDs under his or her wing to help resolve the issues that are preventing them from getting a decent job. If this experiment works out, I have bigger plans in mind for the future.
By devoting just 2-3 evenings a month, we can make a huge difference for our fellow CDs. I would like to start with Ontario. If you would like to join me in this experiment, please PM me.
Sincerely,
DT

Microsoft - Which end of the stick do you want today?
Dt,
thanks for the initiative.
I feel that i can advise (though not mentor since i myself am struggling to get a better paid job/net work) people regarding the current practices in Canada.
I can advise :
1. Architects
2. Draftsman (in the field of Architectural drafting)
Please reply as to what services that i can provide. Atleast i can help someone who is new to Canada and does not know anything about practices here.
I can also advise on Ontario Building Code.
Needless to say all services are Free of Charge.

Hi TK. The core group that I am looking for will be people who are well versed in the job hunting techniques that I am referring to. Once this experiment proves successful, we will definitely need help of subject matter experts such as yourself. Thank you for the offer and I look forward to taking you up on it in the near future.
Regards
DT

Hey DT,
Good intention.I would have love to join the group, as I have some techniques and skills for job searching .Since, recently I am in the job hunting process,I am on the other side of the table, hence possibly a potential mentor seeker.
BTW DT which field you are working in and do the need of any specific mentor will help this forum.
Anyway good start.
