Something personal

[the_rock]

First of all, I truly apologize if this is something not even appropriate for this space, so admins,  if not, you are more than welcome to delete it.

Community folks,

If any of you may know someone looking for remote work, I would be happy to connect. I had been out of work 3 months now and never did I think it would be so difficult to get a new job. Im located in Ottawa, Canada.

Below is my linkedin profile:

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Andy,

I’m currently still on sick leave, which is why I haven’t been around in the community.

I’m also not completely sure if this is the right place for a post like this, but I just wanted to say that I’m really sorry to see you going through this, and I truly wish you all the best with your job search.

It can’t be easy being in that situation, and I really hope something good and fitting comes along for you soon.

all the best 

Vince

Thanks brother, appreciated.

Hey Andy, sorry to hear about that. I am not aware of any current prospects, but I wish you the best.

I wish you all the best, brother. I hope you find a job soon.

Thanks bro, I hope so too. Its actually depressing to even read posts on Linkedin from people looking for work, some of those stories are so sad, to say the least. 

[Vincent_Bacher]

Yes, it’s sad.
I don’t know what the situation is like in other countries. As far as Germany is concerned, I feel nothing but anger when I look at the financial situation of many large corporations and their efforts to relocate jobs to low-wage countries under the pretext of some flimsy doomsday arguments.

Its different everywhere, I guess..

Hi!

I assume that you already tried to apply for opened positions in Checkpoint itself via Career Opportunities at Check Point Software. There are 242 opened positions at the moment.

You can take a chance at some other big vendors, for example:

The remote work part of your situation may be the hard one...

Good luck with your job search, hope it turns for you soon!
