If you've ever worked in sales, then you know about the numbers game. The numbers game, is about endurance and states that the sales success is attributed through the increase in outreach and engagement activities. Being successful in getting job offers is like sales, you need to go out there and get exposure. I realized this early on during my transition from the military and I made it a goal to meet 1,000 people and talk to them about my transition and see if they knew someone or had a vacancy that was a great fit for me. I did this by passing out the 1,000 business cards at job fairs, conferences, business meetings, and to strangers on the plane as I headed to these various places. Some keys to being successful with this: 1) Have you practiced what you are going to say to individuals that you are going to meet? What is the elevator pitch? 2) Have a list of 5-10 questions ready available to ask about the company that you are learning about and to see if it's a great fit for you! Q: Thank you for sharing the various salary ranges at your organization, what perks and other compensations are given ,if any, for your employees? 3) Always look your best when you introduce yourself. You want to make a great first impression to the individuals that can open the doors for employment. You don't have to spend a million dollars to look great. It's simple as wearing a sports coat with a button down collard shirt. 4) Always have your resume ready to fire off. I can't tell you how many times individuals tell me that they will send me their resume in a week because they need to build it! I recommend working on your resume every year. Pick your birthday, for example, and mark your calendar to get it done. 5) The best thing to do when you meet another person is to listen intently and repeat what they have said or "mirroring" them. You do this by repeating back exactly what someone else has said, word for word, preceded by “I hear you saying” or “I heard you say.” Below is an opportunity for a job fair. It may not have a lot of jobs youe interested in. However, it gives you an opportunity to practice your sales pitch and making leads with others for future employment. The job fair below has over 103,000 followers. Reality is that only a couple of hundred people at most will show up. You've got to do the work if you want to be successful. Good luck on your job hunt! Jayme

P. Brijlall                            ( WSIB ) ANTISEMITISM, HATRED, AND RASESS;         After a workplace accident, WSIB put me through hell and made my injuries twice as worse   permanently then robbed me of my benefits just because of the colour of my skin. Sandra Di Carlo the case manager took me out from physio therapy that was helping me with my recovery and sent me to wsib Doctor and physio therapy that made my injuries twice as worse permanently. Deb Remekie, The lady at WSIB that robbed me of my benefit, she said that I can sell jewelry, she thinks because I am black I can steal jewelry and sell, so she decided to rob me of my benefit. And it's not a joke she said it verbally and in writing. And believed it or not the APPEALS TRIBUNAL agreed with her without a doubt or any question Atal. The Tribunal did not look at my file, apparently they don't even care to look at my file. THIS ORGANIZATION SHOULD OF NOT EXIST IN CANADA     THIS IS CANADA; WHAT A SHAME  Doug Ford <Premier.Correspondence@ontario.ca> Thank you for reaching out with details about your experience with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). I hope you’ll understand that, as Premier, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on or ministry staff cannot comment on or get involved in individual cases.  intervene in your situation with the WSIB. The Board is an independent decision-making body that functions at arm’s length from the government. Response from the Deputy Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development The ministry is responsible for the legislative framework for workplace safety and insurance in Ontario. The WSIB is an independent organization that operates at arm’s length from the ministry and oversees the administration of workplace safety and insurance benefits and services. As a result, the Minister  and ministry staff cannot comment on or get involved in individual case NOT EVEN THE FAIR PRACTICE COMMISSIONER WILL INTERVENE.

Today when I first came across this I was a little disappointed in the timing. It’s on a Wednesday in the middle of the day. This eliminates so many from being able to attend. Then I started to wonder… we have so many young adults graduating in less than 60 days. How wonderful would it be if we could allow them to attend these job fairs. So I was thinking about how high schools offer “Comp Days” for Juniors and Seniors to go tour potential colleges. The schools fully support these days. So why can’t we use these “Comp Days” for other students to attend job fairs. Give these students that have no intentions of going to college the opportunity to explore and network other career opportunities. Some schools do bring a few select students to job fairs, but these are typically your high achieving students that are already planning to attend college. Those students are good, they have a plan. My heart is always with the students that are lost, the ones that have no direction. That’s the student that needs guidance. Those are the students that need to hear the success stories. When I post and say, share your story because you never know who you might be inspiring, this is what I’m talking about. Let’s make career fair/ job interview “Comp Days” a new normal.
