So I have declined Elmhirst Diagnostics & Research's job offer and I ranked 2nd out of 4 for the Fisheries and Oceans job... this leaves me with nothing and back to step one... more cover letter writing.
In June when I first informed my advisor I like to work in September... I was open to the idea of going to class if nothing worked out. However, now I will be very disappointed if that happens... main reason is becuase I've put a lot of effort into this job search process.
I've applied to a Env Canada job... haven't heard from them yet... probably because I didn't put too much effort into the letter. I'm sick of talking to those guys for nothing. Arts/Social Science Coop have posted some amazing jobs related to international affairs/development... so I think I will apply to them even though I'm in Science Co-op (Geography/Environment students are in Sciences even if we are gettings arts degree). This would be more along the lines of what I was doing in Thailand. I suppose if I want to do my Masters in intl development, this would be a good start. Now I have to compete with history, sociology and political science students... move aside people.

Good luck with the cover letters!!!

Maybe there are just some much better options out there that you do not know about. And when you apply it will go so smoothly you want know what to do with yourself. Here's hoping.
