Vancouver is a dead end place for jobs, especially in mining right now. would you have better luck in alberta? if not, then Australia?

you are one of many graduates coming out at a terrible time in vancouver.

as has been said before, online applications go nowhere, either use a recruiter (who are the scum of the earth, by the way, and probably won't look at you if you have no experience), get to meet with ppl somehow, etc. but i'd say your best chance is to open urself up to moving elsewhere.
I absolutely agree, online applications for small companies are good. I've only gotten a couple call backs from a large companies through online applications.

I have always been head hunted though as well. I fucken hate recruiters, BUT there are those select few out there that are really helpful. Let me know if you need to get in touch with one of them.

I also agree on the getting out of Vancouver thing.
