RE: The Old Dog Advises: If You’re Looking For a Job Don’t do This! Do This Instead!

If I were the employer, you rant would be more than justified! This is outrageous really and, as you put it so well, real garbage. The phone call were equally not respectful neither for you or your business. I did see really bad C.V.s as well as horrendous interviews and so on. I have to admit, there's a lot of that quality level out there... as you underline so aptly in the end questions, maybe the individuals were "looking" for work as they are on employment benefits
and don't actually want a job!? It would make a lot of sense.

Here' in Haida Gwaii, if you are looking for work, you may apply to work in the resource extraction realms (Logging, fishing and a bit of mining), or services and the arts, on so many levels. Otherwise, the last option is the government. Not much out there unless you are already in line for a job based on traditional knowledge and have a job lined up for the future or you already are working at it.

Thanks for the reflections and keep on Steeming, especially to let go of that pressure! ;) Namaste :)
