If for whatever reason you are not 100% thrilled with the results Resume Success brings you, simply return it for a complete refund, no questions asked.
The Good News? It was expected that there would be about 15,000 new jobs added in January 2010...and instead there was 43,000!
The Bad News? The majority of these new jobs are part-time positions, and youth employment...
And that means....?
Businesses in Canada, still stung and cautious following the recession of 2008-2009, are slowly beginning to hire…or more accurately RE-hire. The current surprising explosion of part-time roles is a boon for those excited to join or rejoin the workforce but it does not accurately reflect the state of full-time professional positions in the country.
An increase in hiring is certainly a step in the right direction!! However, these are not NEW jobs so much as recovering jobs, especially in the youth sector. ...more

Hello! I'm not sure if that was David himself who wrote that article, so I'll just ask:
this was a month ago. Has anything changed? Has it accelerated or slowed down? 2010 is the year we emerge from the recession and I can finally look for work with hope instead of frustration???
Thx.
Resume Success Employment News
Recently we reported that the current US and Canadian employment/unemployment situation has steadied itself and that businesses are preparing for hiring in 2010.
Here is an outstanding graphical explanation of the current and historical Canadian data. Statistics Canada published the following press release to demonstrate the drastic 2008/2009 changes in Canadian Employment and Unemployment, and how recent data reflect current trends.
We see that Employment has, with some exceptions, leveled off and is anticipated to increase as the economy finds its feet in mid-2010.
Unemployement, on the other hand, is grew drastically at the end of 2008 and throughout 2009, ending up over 8.5% nationally, until settling to its current plateau just below that point...more

We've finally seen the end of the recession, and the newspapers are calling for increase in business in early 2010! That means more jobs...but not just yet. Employment is what's called a lagging indicator. This means that while the economy recovers, people (consumers) spend more, injecting more into the economy and business. In turn, the businesses increase their workforce (increase in employment) to supply more product for the public. This is a simplified explanation, but is in general a recognized truth in economic theory.
What does this mean for YOU? It means the jobs are coming!...but slowly at first. Now is the best time to have ready your best possible resume so that you can take advantage of the first, best opportunities as they come up! Ma...more
