The latest continuation of this trend was seen at a career fair at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre last week, where hundreds waited in lines that snaked all around the venue to apply.
One clip of the frenzy, shared on social media on Saturday, has generated a lot of discussion about the current state of things in the city and the country at large, which many feel to be quite frustrating and hopeless, especially in the jobs department.The event in question appears to be one held by Career Fair Canada on Thursday connecting candidates with companies looking to hire, as well as recruiting and training services.
"The event saw a fantastic turnout the energy was intense," organizers tell blogTO, saying exhibitors met with"hundreds" of eager job-seekers. While they say the day was an"incredible success," this may moreso have been in the eyes of those with roles to fill, rather than those vying against so many others for a limited number of opportunities.
