Don’t be afraid to take unskilled jobs to slow the financial bleed while you continue your search.

The key to finding a Job is absolutely networking. Take a look for local SW groups, defcon groups, hacker spaces, start up scenes, etc.

I’ve received my last few jobs through networking. I’ve been fortunate enough to not need to job search in a number of years.

Once your settled in a field, network network network.

But you need to know what field to do it in first.

You should broaden your searches. Both by location and vocation.

By the sounds of it you would be a good fit in any operational, logistical, or managerial role. See what remote opportunities there are Canada wide.

A good (technical) interview should feel like a fun conversation with a friend on the topic at hand.

Most people are trying to see if they’ll like you, and that you can pull your weight. Assuming you’re qualified the second part isn’t an issue.

Practice with a friend or family member. Get comfortable talking about yourself, and post experiences. Get comfortable asking follow up questions. That comfort will let you be yourself during the interview so the interviewers can actually gauge your fit.

Productivity is a measure of how much you can get done in a block of time. It doesn’t have anything to do with end goals.

It’s a bit of a silly question like asking what fuel mileage has to do with where you drive to.
