jobs in Toronto

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2020.02.11

While I wait for things to happen in Tokyo, I've been applying for roles in Toronto and the region. Today I applied for three, including one at PC Financial where I have an old friend as a reference. I let her know that I had applied and invoked her good name, and she said, "Ok – I will speak to HR. I have to follow up fairly shortly because I just quit!" This brings my total number of jobs applied to 84. All but about six of these were in the Toronto area, and I've yet to hear back from more than two, which were rejections.

...and when you try to get some, it surely can be hard. There's always trouble waiting, when you leave your own back yard.
