I think the market out there is not too bad since everybody tell me the market out there is good.

Fresh grad always have high expectation on salary.
It's all depends on your working experiences, education only mean something when you work long enough and get to management lor

i know this is very stupid...somehow the employment system here discourages people to got o post-secondary education because the salary that a high school grad get can be equal or even better than the money that a university graduate can get...

for example navcanada (agency that hires air traffic controllers) hires high school graduates....after training for 1 year...you get like 30k/year pay...and after in-job training...you start minimum 50k/year!...max goes to around 100k per year!

Try to be a traffic controller before you use this as an exmaple to bash the system?
There are lots of jobs that don't require post secondary and easily over 50k per year, but trust me, you don't want (or most people don't want) to get into those fields.

The market is indeed very hot this year.  My friend who is also a CGA said never has her seen a market like this: She applied 5 jobs and all 5 jobs desperately want her.  I am definitely going to look for another job before I return to work after mat leave.

Is the job market really hot? I'm looking for a new job too, but no luck so far....... (I've had enough with the managament too)

that's why I decided to take Diploma in Accounting. BA degree is useless.

I am also in the head of the junction of the road about quitting and stay, sigh

Superberry,

I think the job market is relatively active. My brother had two job offers within a month. He took the first job in town and after working there for less than a month, telus from Vancouver contacted him and hired him and they are willing to pay for the moving expenses. So I would say, if you have the right education nor experience, it shouldn't be too hard to find a job.

With accounting field, I think the current market is active. I see job postings everywhere on different job seeking website.
