I am looking for a job in mechanical engineering in the GTA and having a hard time making my cover letter and resume competitive. Without interviews I dont know what to do or how I can live here, it is very expensive to live here. I’m very worried.

Hello There,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

Finding work can be challenging, you may want to look through [Settlement.Org articles on job listings](https://settlement.org/ontario/employment/find-a-job/job-listings/) to help you find work. You may also wish to seek the support of an [employment counsellor](https://settlement.org/ontario/employment/find-a-job/employment-services/why-should-i-get-help-to-find-work/) for help with your [cover letter and resume](https://settlement.org/ontario/employment/find-a-job/resume/).

A number of settlement services are providing intake appointments online and over the phone to support clients remotely. You may want to connect with a settlement agency that provides employment services using our [Services Near Me](https://settlement.org/findhelp/ontario/) section. Settlement agencies can also help you find financial assistance options.

It may help to connect with a community resource navigator at 211 to narrow your search.

[211 Ontario](https://211ontario.ca/) is a free, confidential service. Their phone service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. [Here](https://211ontario.ca/chat/) is a link to their live chat if you prefer to communicate online. Their live chat service is available Monday to Friday from 7am-9pm ET.
