actually I've tried Adecco and David Aplin......I sent my resume to their office location and applied to some of their 'entry' level job online, but I havent heard from them at all.  I dont really kno ...

When I was looking for jobs through headhunters, I call them.

Don't wait for them to find you.

But if you apply for companies directly then.... don't call.

I got my job within a month

but I believe I sent out 10 resumes + cover letters a day. MINIMUM.
I get 1-2 interviews a week..
and after i start my job.... those calls keep returning
so normally it takes more than a month for them to respond
just keep applying and applying and applying.

no kidding
i'm on the same boat as you
just grad and still no job after 2 months looking

我發現近年既香港學生分兩類﹐一係就過份實際﹐興讀D咩就讀咩﹐唔岩讀都照讀 - 易運工呀嘛﹗

另一類就好似開topic呢位朋友仔﹐唔好怪我直言﹐你讀完大學都有21-22歲﹐唔通你真係畢業第一日先諗做乜工﹖

我絕對唔反對(基本上支持)任 ...

i kinda agree with what u said...but the reason i had no work experience was because i did a lot of volunteer work....that's experience too...just not paid...

and for employment agencies, try avoiding Miles....didn't help at all....

我又唔敢話人懶

但係真係無可能廾幾歲起身先諗做d乜

我細個無甘天真囉

但係我絕對唔認同學業=工作成就。

你鍾意讀咩都好都要諗點為生。 ...

我以前都好天真
真係畢業之後先想要做D咩
好彩而家都OK
所以天真都唔係問題既

It is not easy to find the first job after grad... I grad with a comp sci degree with 5 semesters of Co-op too in June... i started looking job since Feb/Mar, (well, avaialble to work in May), and didn't get my offer till end of April. Thinking back... i just send off around 5-7 resume for every co-op term i look for and already got more than half replies for interview and got job offer within 3 weeks. When I look for this FT job, i send off around 15 application, and only get like 6 interviews or so. So yes, 1st job after grad is very very tough... esp. in current market, lots of companies have hiring freeze. For Fine Arts, do u know some graphics software? such as Adobe suite? or r u good in Engish? many companies look for technical writer. Think of what career you really want to go, and upgrade urself with some practical course on that field (BCIT/Langara usually a good choice). That will increase ur chance to find a job.

What kind of jobs are you applying for with your fine art degree??

My friend with Fine Arts degree goes back to HK and now works in design firm.

Not a good time to go back to HK now, company is starting to down size, and not hiring anyone to fill the spot when people leave

siumaibb

fine art = design? Then why does people need to go to design schools like Emily Carr?
