Еще раз хочу поблагодарить вас за чудесный пикник 8-го мая на Deas Island.
Мне было очень приятно оказаться в компании русскоязычных ванкуверцев, познакомиться лично со многими из вас, кого долгое время знал заочно по форуму, прикоснуться к тому, чем живет и дышит комьюнити. Это действительно здорово!Приехав полтора месяца назад и первое время прозанимавшись исключительно адаптацией и решением бытовых проблем, сейчас я перешел к активной стадии поиска работы. Несмотря на обилие источников информации в интернете, мне очень важно именно ваше мнение, а также требуется некоторая помощь консультативного плана. Не буду слишком оригинален. Хотел бы представить на суд искушенной общественности "первый блин" своего резюме и выслушать ваши мнения и советы. Дело в том, что его целевая рассылка в ответ на найденные за последние 10 дней объявления о работе в соответствующей области пока не дала никаких результатов. Категорически приветствую любые поправки, рекомендации, бросание цветами (в горшках), тапками и прочими объектами, в общем, все то, что может быть полезным для вправления мозгов автору сиего писания и наставления его на путь истинный, который приведет к заветной первой канадской работе.
Прошу прощения, но имена, явки и пароли слегка изменены до неузнаваемости
