Finally managed to get in contact with the placement agency rep today and good thing too!  She's agreed to send my resume to a firm that's looking for a junior accountant and the firm's in downtown Vancouver, where I've always wanted to try working in.  I'm hoping I'll get called for an interview next week.  If not, I'm going to go for a temp ( Read more... )
