Rising costs, layoffs in key sectors, automation, and economic uncertainty have made job searching feel overwhelming for many Canadians. But here\u2019s the truth that often gets lost in the noise: <strong>job seekers are not powerless<\/strong>. In fact, job seekers who adapt, prepare, and think strategically can take back control of their careers\u2014even in a tougher market.<\/p>\n<p data-blockid=\"978e78d2-e6a3-4d52-872d-3641a45c066a\" data-depth=\"0\">This moment requires a mindset shift.
