Sorry to hear that, Jorath
Another option might be for you to further your studies (ie, boost your CV with additional degrees). It could give you an edge over other competitors eyeing your ideal job. |

quote: 3 mths notice...man, that's long. Is that normal in Canada? In Australia you only need three weeks. Unless you are moving to a competitor in which case they ask you to leave ASAP, pay you out in full, and watch you while you pack up your desk - which is what happened to me when I switched jobs a little over a year ago.

quote: No, it's not normal. I'm under contract for 14 years but I have the option of getting out after 9.5. If I wish to get out at that time, I must give them 90 days notice. After that 9.5, it's 30 days... I'm sure you can guess what kind of work I'm in. BTW: Most jobs in Canada require 14 days notice for full-time work and 7 days for part-time.
