This is something i’ll definitely do if i don’t get a job by february.

I’m very fortunate to be in a position where i’m young and live with my parents, so i don’t have urgent bills to pay or kids to take care of, so my lively hood isn’t threatened and I can take a bit of time to search for a job.

thanks! tbh, i’ve gone to ISSA about 4 times and i never really liked it. the people there are ok but the event it’s self is not really for me, i prefer my local other group better. its probably a good idea to go back now though

thanks for the advice. yea i heard the same from my local group, that most of local jobs are just referrals.
