I need a FT job...just graduated not long ago...have been looking everywhere but no luck.

Any other LYK's out there in the same boat?  Anybody hiring?
Christmas is draining my reserves....

But at least if he already tried many ways which did not work, it did not hurt to try the church...

I do agree with you, texwood.

Well, from my personal experience I have not seen a single person who has gotten into a job based on his/her church connections. (Your mileage may vary.)

or just go to church to know more people.

I know that finding the first job is difficult.  I've been in that situation before. Seeing everyone else got job offers while I didn't get any is not a good feeling by any means.

I'm not in the Vancouver area (or even within BC) so I'm not sure whether my suggestions would apply, but here they are anyhow:
- Don't sit home and wait for phone calls; go out and do volunteer work if you can - it may open doors for you.  
- Try visiting the local Human Resources and Social Development Canada (or Service Canada) offices to see if they have any programs for the unemployed
- Visit career offices of local colleges and universities (even the schools that you do not attend); you may find surprises.
- Be confident when appearing in your interviews.  Most Chinese folks (myself included) are more "lay back" and "humble", which a Chinese boss would understand but it's considered a weakness in the Western society. HR people *will* look for them and will in turn score you lower than other candidates.  

Hope that helps.
