Scarcity of Jobs in Vancouver , BC
Remember I told you about how you can
be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond...
You can have a job one day and not
the next.
Of course you get social insurance
if you are laid off due to certain reasons...
for a few months.. after
that even this source dries off.
For instance, my Husband was laid off
from one of his positions just because the institute he was teaching at
decided to discontinue the program;
He got a much better job and was happy there, but then the business
partners in the company he was working for had a big legal fight. The
company shut down. Everything was liquidated. All employees were laid off,
and he was not even paid almost fifteen thousand dollars because there was
no money left in the company.
Of course he received employment insurance...
This just paid the rent. There was nothing left over for food etc. Even
his previous boss had to sell his million dollar home and move into more
affordable quarters...
And then the employment insurance lasted only a few months
Not to tell you the story of his
300 job applications. Countless interviews. Sleepless nights.
frustration...
One and a half year of joblessness and piling up of debt... since we were
totally surviving on loans during this period.
One day while walking in the park
with our kid, we met a man who hearing our story, told us his own...
About how one of his friends owns
a restaurant, they put out an application for a dish washer on some of the
human resource job sites...
And they got sixty applications in return!
Some of them from really qualified people only for the position of a dish
washer!!!
Again please note I am not trying
to put you off.
With a positive mental attitude
you can attract much better luck to yourself... but be prepared for every
eventuality.
Remember scarcity is an artificial
situation, our natural state is abundance.
