New graduate

I have graduated from a well known community college in Toronto with a diploma in computer support and network support. I few certifications like CCNA, ITIL and Microsoft 70-682. I am having a hard time to find an entry level job with minimum wage. I have applied for numerous jobs but never got any response. I was wondering if you guys can give me some advice on my resume or adding a new certification.

    Use the head hunters. This is your best bet to find a steady job in Toronto. I found my 51k job in a bank on craigslist through a head hunter in Toronto.

    I have a similar diploma to you, and I agree with phaneuf1. Head hunters will most definitely be your best chance of landing an entry level gig.

    From a resume perspective I used examples of personal projects and showed how I gained proficiencies in a given technology. Your resume and CV, especially for entry-level positions really have to get across your passion for technology and your drive to learn more.

    I tried to contact some recruiting companies, but never got any response. I wanted to get CCNP, but I am not sure about having a professional level certification without experience.
