I was on CERB for 7 weeks in the spring, Mid March to the end of April. While I did enjoy my time off, I didn't just do nothing. I work in HR as a career (yeah, I know). I applied to many jobs in my city that were available - I was fully prepared to go back to stocking shelves at the grocery stores, liquor stores and even looked into some warehouse work. At the same time, I was applying for jobs in my field. Finally at the end of April, I landed a better paying job than my previous one. At the same time, I attended a bunch of webinars relevant to my field. I actually felt guilty for taking CERB and thought I was going be "investigated" by the CRA. Needless to say, I don't feel as guilty anymore, given I've heard about how many people have taken complete advantage of the system...

Thank you for participating in society and not lowering yourself to chaos and the socialism of this fallen country.
