I'm on a mission to secure an administrative assistant job in Toronto within the next 18 days. Yes, 18. I know it's a tight deadline, but I'm determined to make it happen. I'd appreciate any advice and tips on how to achieve this goal. Here are a few things I'm already working on:

  1. Resume and Cover Letter: Tailoring my resume and cover letter to highlight relevant skills and experiences.

  2. Skills Development: Brushing up on essential skills like Microsoft Office, email etiquette and scheduling.

  3. Job Applications: Applying to multiple job postings daily on various job boards.

  4. Networking: Reaching out to my network and attending virtual job fairs.

What else should I focus on to increase my chances of landing a job quickly? Any specific strategies or resources you recommend? Thanks in advance!

Assuming Canada is similar to the US, apply at temp agencies. Many companies hire exclusively through them.
