Get Me to Where I can Find a Job!

I'm seeing if I can raise funds to suport my trip to Vancouver, BC, for the MLA convention . I have a number of job interviews there, and I am hoping to land a job so that I can support my wife and daughter. US$1,500 will cover my flight, hotel, and incidental costs so that I can have a chance to find work--and that's what I'm asking for: a chance to find a job.
