I suggest you apply for and accept jobs that arent your branch or dream job. Any occupation whatsoever looks good on paper rather than a blank sheet. I understand a longer period of illness occupies a gap in your scores. And sorry to say, the market isn't fair that way, you should try collecting experience - any kind - to fill your CV.
That will suggest to any future employer that you want to work rather than drift around and do nothing. And you could try to turn that negative into a positive: Like writing something like this when applying for a gaming job "I was ill for sometime but I fully recovered and I'm fine now, hence the gap in the period 2004-2005. I was eager to get into work life and while I wanted to be a computer game developer I had to start somewhere else to gather experience." With this I mean that while you strive to be a Game developer (I don't recall what you applied for) you can mention that's your goal. If your experience shows telemarketing, cashier at the supermarket, customer support or whatever it tells your employer that you will work and that you appreciate to work. ANd don't be afraid to mention you were ill for a period of time. That's straight forward and during the interview you will be asked about it anyway. It's job interviewing 101. And if you bring it up rather than trying to cover it up will be appreciated as fair. Any employer that get scared about the illness will sort your application to the trash bin. But if they don't and they call you to an interview they have accepted that unemployed period of time already. In short. Don't be picky, take any job just to get the experience and to avoid a longer period of unemployment. Could be less uplifting working with something you don't want to but if you see it as a step closer to what you want to become it can be bearable. Hope you find anything of what I said useful. I've been working with applications and interviews and while I look for some qualities others have their approach, so the "right" and "wrongs" also depend on who reads your application. I personally looked for gaps between employments, too short or too long personal letters (about three quarters of an A4 is enough), school grades in case there were no letter of recommendation from former employers (fulfilled grades speaks of someone who will also fulfill work tasks), no desperate or indifferent letters (show an interest, but not too much) Best of luck to you! -------------------- My bands homepage

Ohh, what a pity. Don't let it make you give up. Try to lead your job seeking in what you most like to do. Maybe working in an instrument shop could be a good way to get a job as it was said before here. So, don't give up and try to find the way to beat the system!!. jajaja

QUOTE (Sircraigery @ May 18 2009, 09:40 AM)  Canada created 30,000 new jobs in April alone (that's 1% of the population!!). Sorry to correct you but i.e 0,1% of the population.

Sorry to hear that you didn't get it Adam.
A couple of suggestions for the future: i) Ask the interviewers what they would suggest were you strong points and what areas you need to work on. They may refuse but most will try and help. It may be that you did really well but that someone was just a bit more experienced or something - and you won't now this without asking. It also shows them your interest and commitment and that can be helpful should you apply there in the future. ii) Consider taking some qualifications either at a local adult education college or similar. Apart from the qualifications this will also open doors to their support networks for career advice and so on. iii) As Micke says it is hugely beneficial to have work experience. If there is no paid work then voluntary work provides experience and demonstrates both commitment on your part and a degree of social responsibility that a lot of employers like. Voluntary work can also bring you contacts that may well lead to paid work in the future as well. iv) Try not to dwell to much on this, learn from it by all means but move on. Best of luck for the future. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
