I am a recent criminology grad from Toronto, moved to Calgary last month and since then I keep applying for every job that is relevant to my education. No luck since then. My main targets are corrections, probation, social worker such as caseworker and relief worker. My resume looks a bit messed up and unorganized, so i hope you guys will give me some insights.
Thanks
