You're looking for a specialty position man. I can tell you BC & South America are the main places right now for mining, yet it's hard to get in.

As people have mentioned prior, it's all about timing. All companies accept resumes and throw them into a big pile, but you have to know when they are hiring. Look for positions online and make sure you always do follow-ups. Make sure they know you're around, and progressively hunting for a job.

Sitting online and sending out resumes does abit, but realistically it does fuck all. Even phone calls aren't that great but can suffice if you can't make a personal appearance at their office.

I'm a draftsman, when I got out of school in 2010, I was legit fucked and hunted for about 5-6 months for a job. I sent out cold emails to every company that was based in the GVRD and did anything for interior design/engineering/architecture/construction. I also walked around Kitslano where there are a lot of architectural offices and did cold calls. Yet when I got 1 interview, I got 3 in the same week. You just got to keep hunting and pushing and keep your head up.

Just remember that this is your career, and nobody is going to find you a job.
