Learn About The Rebounding BC Job Market

The Rebounding BC Job Market

We made it! We know 2020 has flown by, with every day rolling into one another like a never-ending Groundhog Day. It has also seemed to linger like a bad smell that just will not go away. It really has been quite the year, but the good news is that we should go into 2021 with optimism about the local job market.

Now that the holiday season is in our rear-view mirror, it’s the perfect time to take a step back and reflect. It is also the time to look forward to the possibilities in front of us as we embark on a new year.

We are here to tell you that the new year brings us hope!

Interview With A Recruiter- Meet Erick Quan

Welcome to the third installation of “Interview with a Recruiter!”

This month we are excited to speak with Erick Quan, our beloved Sourcing Specialist at STRIVE Recruitment Inc. Erick joined our bustling recruitment firm in October 2019 and has done an incredible job sourcing TOP TALENT for our clients. Erick works closely among all three divisions here at STRIVE and we could not be happier with his unwavering work ethic and great personality. Let’s see what Erick has to say about his time at STRIVE thus far!

Q. What is your greatest memory with STRIVE?

A. My favourite memory would be our Christmas party, I loved the Indian family-style dinner prepared by Mama Dha and our epic game of tug-O-war in the office, it was great!

Q. How have you been spending quarantine?

A. Great question. When I wasn’t working, I would usually explore my neighbourhood on foot and go on long walks with my dog. It may sound boring, but it was peaceful during the lockdown and my dog loved it.

Q. What advice would you give to job seekers right now?

A. Do your research! Learn a few key points about the company you are applying for and add that information into your cover letter.

Q. What are you watching on Netflix right now?

A. Call me crazy but I don’t have a Netflix account! When I want to relax, I play tennis.
