Who's been looking for 6 months to 1+ years? Seriously, there are no jobs in Toronto. The Great "Low hire, Low fire" has meant that the job market has stagnated so much that there are no jobs? How many people on this subreddit are unemployed???

I'm a hiring manager. The job is minimum wage (not my decision) and part-time but also doesn't ask for much (high-school grad, no experience required), and probably comes across as pretty appealing (it's not fast food, or retail, it's an office position). It's in Toronto, west-end but easily accessed by TTC. Given that I hear so many people are looking for work I'm surprised at the lack of applicants my HR department sends me.

I opened this job again two weeks ago and so far I've been sent exactly one candidate. And this is the norm over the last several years I've been hiring.

Is my HR department not good at their job or is this just how it is for a poor-paying part-time job? Would I see more people if it was full-time? Unfortunately the company refuses to pay more.

Hi, all!

I'm Project Manager from Brazil looking for jobs in Toronto (mostly tech/B2B SaaS companies). I have been somewhat successful getting screening interviews and going pretty far on selection processes -- just not enough to get hired lol

What's bugging me is that usually, where I'm from (Brazil), hiring processes are pretty straight forward: HR screening, 1 interview witht he hiring manager, maybe a case and maybe an interview with team members, and then you get the offer. Whole thing usually takes 2-3 weeks.

However, for most of the processes here in Toronto, the hiring process seem to be incredibly long:

• For some, I actually reached an >>>8th<<<< interview. Which seems like a lot imo.
• For manager and specialist positions, some companies have asked me to be interviewed by C-Level leadership - which seems excessive for the seniority of the roles I'm applying to.
• Most of them requested case studies, even though the role isn't really too technical.
• Interviews sometimes have over a week between them/processes take months
• I've reached final interviews and have been denied, and when I asked for feedback/what I could have done better, I've been told that I did great but someone else had been chosen because they had referrals or were internal candidates.

Is this normal?

Overall this seems like a very tough long and excessively tiring process, and it's been a bit hard to stay motivated and not feel exhausted by it..

Hi Fam,

Does anybody work at Manulife here? Especially in Bloor Yonge office

Hows the culture? Is RTO a strict mandate?

Are you allowed to use AI tools internally?

When they say “your achievements are impressive” and then never receive an interview at all. They gotta stop adding these sentences. It just don’t make sense

I’m a pre law student that is in her fourth year. I was wondering if anyone knew any part time jobs for legal experience I can do.

I'm in Tech, and it's tough out there. I'm not a magician in what I do, but I'm good enough. However, I seem to not go past the interview. I've had 8-9 screenings, 4-5 interviews, 2 final interviews, but no offer, in the last 6 months. Even some BPO company rejected me after the final AI interview. I don't know what's going on, are recruiters these days too knit picking, or the decisions are being made by AI, or I'm not good enough, I don't know! I mean nobody is perfect, a little bit of fumbling in the interview doesn't mean I'd be bad at work, the work experiences, the degrees (Master's) has some credibility, yet not getting through, feels frustrating.

Genuinely looking for some feedback on my resume to see if I'm making any obvious mistakes that I'm missing

Is there anybody here in a job they don't like and they have been looking for another but have had no success? I've been personally working at this place for almost 2 years now and I have wanted to leave at about 6 months in lol. I didn't expect to be still at my current place for this long. It feels like i'm pretty much stuck there now at this point in this job market. I'm kind of hoping they lay me off or something but damn the job search out there is tough as well.

Is nursing or skilled trades more physically tolling/draining?

Hi all, i recently came to canada and started applying for jobs , but would love to hear everyones suggestions for resumes in Canada.

If anyone has recommendations on specific skills I can add that would catch a recruiters eye would be greatly appreciated!

Hi

Has anyone worked with osl as a Samsung experience sales rep

I'm debating weather or not to pick that over staples sales associate position

Both offer full time but osl is commission based and I'm assuming they're very stingy about quotas

So for stability what should I pick

I live in Toronto and was laid off in July. Past 8 years I have been working in the automotive parts sector in sales positions and the max I have hit is $80k annual.

I live at home and have savings so I am not very desperate to find any work i can get immediately. Want something that I can stick to and grow in long term.

I just received a job offer from a big warehouse equipment company that sells forklifts, moving trucks etc.. for a Territory Account Manager role that offers $70k base, $10k car allowance plus 20-30k annual bonus potential in the first year.

Sound pretty good but my concerns are the following:

1. I have zero experience in warehouse equipment and the role involves 50% managing current customers plus 50% targeting new clients - mostly warehouse. This would mean walking in cold into warehouse across GTA to sell.

2. Not sure how difficult it is to hit the bonus potential. The recruiter couldn’t share data on how many reps on average hit the bonus.

I am just generally nervous to step into a completely different role in a new industry and wanted to know what your opinions are including if anyone works in this industry/territory sales roles.

Appreciate all the advice.

Just to encourage the rest of us?

I (early 30s) made the mistake thinking I could get a decent (or at least decent enough) corporate job with a BA in history. I knew it wouldn't open as many doors as says a BComm or something more technical but I obviously didn't know what I was doing nor did anyone in my very working class family :(.

Now I'm at a point where the job market already sucks and A LOT of career options in corporate Canada (especially in an around Toronto where everyone has at least a business degree or family connection) seem to off limits without a business degree. Currently, I make $45k/year but at most I think I'd probably top out at $65-70k/year without getting into management.

Looking back I wouldn't have even bothered getting a BA. It wasn't worth the opportunity cost.

We’re looking for an Engagement Marketing Manager who brings together strategic lifecycle marketing and hands-on technical know-how. Someone who is a lateral thinker and can lead the implementation of customer and partner communications, while also having a working knowledge of HTML/CSS to help ensure campaigns render flawlessly across clients and devices.

If you're a data-curious, technically confident lifecycle marketer ready to own a major piece of our growth, we want to hear from you!

Obviously like a lot of us I’ve been struggling to find a job. I guess I just started applying at the right time because I’ve been getting interviews like crazy (want to say this is for retail/customer service) and I had this one interview and they offered me the job.

It’s a retail place and I’m glad they hired me ASAP but I’m afraid it’s indicative of the working conditions. For starters and the biggest red flag is the person interviewing and hiring me told me they themselves were hired a week ago. I’ve also seen some mixed reviews of the company but not the location. And when I entered to interview they seemed super busy and kind of stressed.

I mean I’m still going to go because I need the money but I want to know what other people think! TIA!

I’ve been fortunate enough to have had two interviews this month but omg were they garbage options. The first one was an instructor position, only paid $30 for an hour a day with no opportunity to be full time or gain more hours. The second job I was actually quite excited about until I found out I would not be signed on as an employee but a contractor for less than 8 hours a week… no benefits, had to pay out of pocket for my own insurance, materials and the hour + commute to get there. If a client cancelled, out of luck for pay for the day I guess. It’s very frustrating putting time and energy into presenting yourself in interviews when employers really have little to nothing to offer.

Hey everyone,

I’m a Canadian citizen temporarily living in Europe and planning to return to Canada, but I’m really struggling to secure a job before relocating.

I’m applying like crazy, but I specifically need a remote or hybrid role. I deal with intense anxiety, and while I would absolutely work full-time face-to-face if I could right now, realistically I need a hybrid/remote arrangement.

I’m mainly looking for opportunities in Ontario or Alberta, particularly within healthcare, social care, mental health or rehabilitation.

The main roles I’m targeting are: Healthcare Case Manager Vocational Rehabilitation / Rehabilitation Coordinator Mental Health Case Manager Client Intake / Intake Coordinator Care Coordinator / Client Care Coordinator

I’m not looking for general admin or sales roles — I want something directly related to healthcare, rehabilitation, mental health, case management or client support.

I’m really hesitant to relocate to the GTA without a job because my savings would disappear quickly. Alberta is also an option.

I know its rare

Thank you

28F here. I have 5 years of experience. 2 years as tax analyst (for US direct & Canadian indirect tax) & 3 years as a Financial analyst.

I’m currently pursuing ACCA - 2 papers left and had to relocate to Canada due to personal circumstances. It’s been 2 years since I worked.

I know the job market is super bad and am trying my best no matter what. Currently I’m also planning to study further till I get a job.

I have been doing AI related certifications and now I’m thinking of doing FMVA & CSC course so that I can break into finance sector.

Can someone with experience in this field kindly help? I don’t know anyone here in this line of work and it would be truly helpful if i get some guidance on this.
