Hi,

I am an international student here and I completed 2 year diploma in business and I also have bachelors degree in computer science from my home country. But I do not have any experience so far and where ever I have applied for job got no response. I've visited employers personally to drop my resume and everyday I send mass resume to many employers online. But no response. Can anyone give some advise how can I get respectable in Canada. To start I am looking for a technical sales associate or technical support jobs etc.

Thanks for your time

Apply at locations that have garden centers such as Superstore, Canadian Tire, Home Depot, etc. They will begin their hiring process for the spring/summer season reasonably soon. They generally hire extra employees for this season to help run the garden center as well as other areas that see increased business during the spring and summer project season.

I'm not 100% sure how it works in Canada, but in the USA, these were temporary employees. You may want to ask and, if you do get a temporary job, continue to search for a job in the meantime. You'll at least have a paycheck and some experience. Hopefully someone with Canadian experience with these companies will comment because Canadian labor laws are much different (and usually better) than American ones.

Thanks for your advise, I am definitely gonna do that.... one more thing I have just realized that I have made so many errors while writing my post, I just wanna clear that my English is good and this is not the reason why I am not getting hired.

@ Harry7171. I can not believe you do not get replies regarding your application as a sales rep. Kijiji.ca has tons of ads for sales positions. Besides, almost every day on my way to the office I see lots of signs help needed at small stores selling anything from cell phones to computers. Maybe smth's wrong with your resume?
