I'm starting to get a little freaked out about finding a job before my employment insurance runs out mid Feb. so I've really broadened my job search to include looking everywhere possible.

So last week I started applying to a few jobs advertised on Kijji. Since this is the modern equivalent of answering a newspaper ad 20 years ago, I figured my chance of a response was slim, but it didn't cost me anything to apply so I figure it was worth it.

Today I got an e-mail from the recruiting agency that placed the ad saying that they felt I was qualified for the position, and that they wanted to present me to their client.

The catch is the interview & how I'll be presented to the client. Since they say they're a "Global" company they only do video interviews. So I need a web-cam and Skype. Fortunately my computer has a web-cam on it, although I haven't a clue as to how to use it, and they thoughtfully provided a link to where I can get a Skype account. So now I just have to figure it out - fast.

I'm feeling very nostalgic for job hunting 20 years ago. Honestly it was easier.
