I went to see my advisor and she said that they don't send people on employment benefits to school, So i have to book an appointment at an employment resource centre for career planning and counselling where they will help me make an up to date effective resume, and help me job search, Then this place will book an appointment for me to go to another place that will help me choose a career path.

The orientation that we had before i seen the advisor was your basic, How to search for a job and networking with other people who may be able to get you into thier workplace and blah blah blah. Everybody that was at this meeting was given a sheet for us to keep track of our job search records, If i get a call from the employment office to come in and show this sheet and i have nothing on it..they cut me off..which i don't have a problem with..But, This is kinda fucked up..I'm gonna be going through this course or whatever that's gonna help me choose a path for a career and while i'm doing this i have to be searching for a job..any job, doesn't matter what i apply for as long as i got something to show on my job search records. So if i apply at some shitty place that pays 8 bucks an hour and they wanna hire me..I have to take it or my benefits get cut off, So that will ruin this training that i'm going to be going through that is gonna help me get a steady job rather than finding any job that pops up, which a month after being thier i could be in the same boat as i'm in now. Doesn't make sense to me.

I'm just gonna apply at jobs that recommends a certain amount of expierence, Cause i'm not gonna take any job that pops up and ruin my chance at going through this course that may put me on a path to a better career than bouncing from job to job.
