    2. I started working as Sales Associate (Part-time) 2021 at Freedom Mobile while studying for HRM at Humber College. In Feb 2023 got promoted to Team Lead role. Currently, I’m looking to pivot in HR industry and trying to leverage my Co-op(2022) exp. from my time at Randstad to get a role in HR coordinator/ recruiter/ talent management space. I’ve been applying for almost 3-4 months now, any advice on how to go about this in the current market? Based in Toronto, I’m open to relocation.

      Take a good look at your resume and see how you can rephrase your skills and job duties to be relevant for HR. I wasn’t able to get anyone to even glance at my resume until I got an internship and reworked my resume.

        Pros

        Good job if you're entry level.

        Cons

        Benefits plans are archaic. No sick leave, so you have to use PTO if you're sick. Limited holiday pay. A lot of hype about big changes coming, but nothing but disappointment. Merit raises don't take into account horrible market + economy. No level playing field for branches that don't need to perform as much to get President's Club. Severely underpaid for amount of work we do: full cycle recruiting, prospecting new clients, account management, playing babysitter to temp workers, and then all the additional crap we have to put up with from management. Instead of having surefire SaaS ATS and CRM applications, Randstad makes us use 3 different systems that are proprietary and they all suck horribly. Glitchy, archaic, and there is no "manual" to teach how to properly use applications... they just throw you in it. They keep telling us they will make changes, but never happens. IT makes updates to things that no one cares about. This just adds to our workload.

        Thank you for taking the time to review Randstad. Your feedback is very important to us, as we constantly try to improve. We have passed on your comments internally for evaluation. We really do appreciate you taking the time, as we rely on our clients and employees to tell us when there are issues or aspects we can improve. Thank you and have a nice day.

        Not a great time to try to pivot into recruiting. Lots of layoffs and not much hiring. Recruiters also tend to be the first to be laid off in a recession.

        Write a formal letter of resignation, give the courtesy of a 2-week notice, and have a quick but simple conversation with the recruiting company. I've worked with Tek system before, they know the game should be more than understanding about the situation. Their job is to find employees for companies, and due to how they are paid they don't have the luxury of holding a grudge. Whatever you do, do not let them bully you into altering your decision. I wish you the best of luck, and congrats

      Why is it that every employer once extensive experience and at least a decent college degree like a bachelors as requirements for a position? But then, when they see that you’re older, they still go through the trouble of interviewing you, even though you can clearly see that you are treated with ageism . I just don’t understand mentality in today’s day and age when it comes to interviewing processes as I feel like I am 18 again .

      Another day, another rejection email. I've been job searching since May and have made it fairly far in some interview processes only to get rejected at the final stages. Even after asking for constructive feedback, I get nothing back. How do you stay motivated to keep pressing on when you face rejection after rejection? Genuinely looking for advice / solidarity.

      Front Desk Supervisor

      Ok so on Thursday the 14th, I sent a thank you letter after a grueling 5part interview process. The recruiter replied that any updates would come “early next week” I didn’t hear anything so I sent another email requesting an update on Wednesday the 20th. Still no response, should I call next or just take a hint? Mainly I just want closure and feedback, I don’t think they would have kept me waiting this long if they were planning on giving me the job
