Desperate career change, need some help!

Well, I just send out a massive flood of emails with the details on what I am looking for, what I need and what they'll get out of it. I got one email back from a company called Canadian deWatering telling me for insurance purposes they can't hire me unless I have 3 years experience for whatever reason but to contact them again in 3 years..haha.

If Trican or any company could actually provide me the training like that if I were to sign a contract I would jump on that like a bat out of hell. That's essentially what I was looking for the first time around but only provided me schools in the states none in Canada so that's why I went the government route because I was laid off from a $27/hr job and am now making $12.25/hr working with 18 year olds right out of highschool to obese women who wear mexican-patterned ponchos . I was laid off a few years ago and apparently within a 3 year time frame I am still eligible for training if I jump through a dozen loop holes and red tape but it's looking pretty grim. When I first paid for the courses out of pocket it seemed I was the only schmuck there who was paying for it with his own money, everyone else there said EI or their company was paying for it and there I was struggling to scrounge up money to even sit in that class.

But thanks for the information about those companies, would it be better to email them or call them because I know some companies don't like it when you call in for job related inquiries and is there any specific people that I should talk to or just a generic call and asking 'who can I talk to' will suffice?

I appreciate all the responses.

 

Thank you for the information. I have to get 2 more posts before I can send you a PM. It says I need 7 and I am at 5.
