You'd hope there are people who read all you write, so it's not posted in vain.

That's the best reply.

We had similar, although not nearly as bad as in Canadia, situation in the United States during Obama presidency. It was all part of neoliberal strategy of "tighteing the belts", preached by prophets and apostles from their high horses at IMF and likewise international economic policy making...

No, it's you who still does not realize that I point out to contradiction in your own statements. :) You first stated that there was/is little demand in legal field and that there is over supply of workers applying for legal assistant jobs in Canada. Then you stated that you applied to 7 places...

Even with the clarification, which basically states that there is little to no demand for legal assistants in Canda, it's hard to put it together with your claim that you applied for 7 jobs, got 5 interviews and 5 job offers as a result.

Quite frankly, it's hard to put together your own admission that there is high supply of workers and thus little demand for legal assitants, then adding that you got 5 interviews out of 7 job applications and all 5 offered you a job.

If I alluded to anything, it was to my willingness to believe what you said, even though it sounded so incredible. What can I say? Congratulations on hitting jackpot 5 times out of 7 in a row.

Now you are fabricating things I didn't say. Because I said the opposite: despite your statement appearing incredible (and analogous to someone saying they hit jackpot 5 times out of 7 bets in a row), I will assume it's true and congratulate you. Don't spin and put in my mouth your words. Thank you.

Therefore, the fact that US has larger population is irrelevant.

Not necessarily. You can have large population and economy in shambles, with extremely high unemployment rate like in the US during the Great Depression. Populaiton per se does not drive the demand, but sound economy, investment in labor intensive enterprises and resulting need for workforce does.

My undertstanding is that you said you applied for 7 jobs, got 5 interviews and then 5 offers out of it. And you are a legal assitant. You also said there is no big demand for your line of work because there are a lot of qualified people in this field. When you add up these statements 5/7 and...

5/7 and 5/5 still sound incredible, if you know what I mean. I can say I work as CEO for Boeing and that I got that job by applying directly from Bangalore. But, I will assume it's true and congratulate you. As to job market in Canada, I and my spouse applied for a vast variety of jobs, from...

Oh really? I am glad to hear that. What kind of job did you and spouse apply for and where did you get hired? I don't need any personal information, only the fields of occupation and employers that hired you both. 5/5 offer of rmployment and 5/7 interviews is quite impressive. You guys must be...

People looking for jobs don't create jobs, investors and businesses do. Larger population means larger pool of available workers, which (all other things being equal) means higher competition between workers in a job market and less vacancies per job seeker. I don't know where do you get a...

See my earlier posts (from 2014) where I was asking for help to get a job in Canadian job market. We are still in the same respective fields, but we both have advanced/got promoted and get higher salary since then.

I didn't get just one job in the US, I never was jobless in the US, I never collected unemployment benefits in the US, I always was employed in the US and it never took me more than 60 days to land a job in the US, if I was actively looking for one. 1. I never said life was easy in the US , or...

I already addressed every single one of your counter-arguments, starting with the fact that we are a family of first generation immigrants who became professionals in the highly competitive US job market (it is NOT easy to make a living in America), and kept employment even during the brutal...

For few reasons, and I can cite three of them just off the top of my head: 1. Kids. I thought they would have greater opportunities in Canada, get superb college education in top universities while not getting under humongous debt/student loan. And , I thought, such a large country with...

It's amazing how after making it a personal issue (telling me it was all about me being a loser unable to get a job ,and not the Canadian job market), I am also blamed for attacking you :D Ok, ignore my posts future, this will be better for both of us. WIsh you all the best.
