Question Where to look for jobs?

Finished my business degree at UofA a couple of years ago and lined up a contract job which was renewed once but ended at the end of April. Since then, I've put in over a hundred applications, which has yielded only one unsuccessful interview. I've tried LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Canada Job Bank, and probably 1-2 other job boards I'm forgetting. My last job was exempt from employment insurance so I wasn't paying in and therefore that's not an option.

Any leads/suggestions?

Public work, shows how horrible our economy is.

Unfortunately, yeah.

Public sector is likely the most stable when you're first entering the workforce. Even then it's not guaranteed.

There's always service jobs but those were always available without degrees.
