A Quick Overview
How did I get to this state of unemployment? Here's the story.
After highschool I went to McMaster University and got a BA in Sociology and Gerontology. After spending two years working at horrible jobs I hated I decided to go back to school. Mac took me back and I finished an Honours BA in Sociology and graduated summa cum laude (aka great marks!). This helped me land a fantastic job waitressing. When that wasn't as fulfilling as I had hoped I went back to George Brown College and suffered through another year of post secondary to get my Sociol Service Worker (SSW) diploma. I had hoped that some practical experience and a bit more school might help me wait out the recession and get a job.
That was April 2010. I've spent my time with short term/contract/part time jobs, but right now I have nothing.
I have just moved to Hamilton, ON. I am adjusting to living in a 'small' city after four years in Toronto. I recently got married. I now spend my time staying home with our boxer puppy, sending out my resume and eating far more chocolate chips than can possibly be good for me.
