Our labour shortage is real - here is your SIGN! It is unusual to see this many signs on lawns, buildings, and in-stores in 2021. This was more the norm 20 years ago. Advice to job seekers:➡️ Visit your nearest Nova Scotia Works Centre to freshen up your resume➡️ Make yourself presentable; dress as if you are going to an interview and,➡️ Drop into some local businesses with a paper copy of your resume and let the employer know you want to work for themThis “old fashioned” way of job searching is still a viable approach to getting a job.#NovaScotiaWorks #JobSearch #Truro #Jobs ...
