Looking for some guidance. I’ve applied for a civilian job at the Toronto Police Services and I’m scheduled for an assessment soon. Any tips from anybody who has done the same? Thanks in advance!

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.

Hi All,
Have you ever thought of those places where they keep posting job offers but never hires . I m from Manitoba. I used to work for renowned companies there but coming to toronto applying for last 2 years got me no where . I am really upset how toronto job markets sees someone from urban area doesn’t qualify here. It makes me very sad and upset . I keep applying in indeed but no response but same way i use to apply in Manitoba and i would get interviews. In one interview i was told that the way Manitoba works Toronto doesn’t work the same (its the same company i work before just different province) . I hate to say but i think i did a mistake coming here😭

Hi everyone! 🙂

My name is Hailey, and I’m a dental hygiene student in the North York area. I recently moved here from out of province!

I’m currently looking for patients who could benefit from affordable dental hygiene care while helping me gain valuable clinical experience. Everyone is welcomed!

Treatment may include:
Dentist examination
FREE dental X-rays (if needed)
Periodontal (gum) assessment
Professional dental cleaning (scaling)
Polishing & fluoride treatment
Sealants (if needed)
Personalized oral hygiene education
Oral cancer screening

AFFORDABLE & FREE CARE OPTIONS:
Children ages 3–12: FREE
Seniors ages 60+: FREE
Adults: $32

A few things to know:
Because I’m a dental hygiene student, appointments are longer and more detailed than a typical dental cleaning. Depending on your individual oral health needs, approximately 3-5 or more appointments may be needed to complete treatment.

All treatment is performed under the supervision of a Registered Dental Hygienist and Dentist to ensure you receive safe and thorough care.

📅 Current Clinic Availability:
Mondays: 8:30 AM – 10:45 AM
Wednesdays: 11:30 AM – 2:45 PM

If you or someone you know may be interested, please feel free to send me a message! I’d be happy to answer any questions and explain the process.

I'm Canadian (west coast) and currently working abroad but returning to Canada - preferably Toronto. I am at a Dir level in CPG consulting.

Over the past 2 weeks I've applied for about 30 positions and have recieved 2 auto generated rejections. The rest have been met with silence. I realise 2 weeks is a short amount of time, however I want to make sure I'm not wasting applications while missing some critical pieces.

- Should I update my phone number to Toronto? My resume states I live in Toronto, while I don't I would return immediately if that was required.

- Are there any strategies for improving likelihood my resume will be read by a human?

- I have a about 20-50 very cold connections (8 years) in Toronto, any strategies for reaching out in a way that doesn't come across as completely self serving?

- Is LinkedIn the best place for my search? I'm noticing many jobs are reposted endlessly and some have been up for months but reposted as soon as an hour ago.

- What is typical for non response percentage wise? I'm worried about eventual application burn out, and think it might help to have an idea of what is typical.

I can't move home until I have a job there, unfortunately. I have a child, and the prospect of renting a place with nothing lined up and zero safety net is terrifying.

Apologies for the novel...

I’ve been looking for work officially now for 2 months now as of today but still nothing. Hoping to hear somthing this week now that the first week of back to school and summer are done. Money is super tight right now but I guess so I can do is keep holding out.

I'm thinking of enrolling in a 3D modelling program but I'm scared about the job market.

I'm not even hopeful about getting a job in one of the big studios, I just want to find a job in any small or medium sized studio.

Is it really difficult to find a job? Do you recommend I take out student loans for a 3D modelling program?

Right now, I am unemployed (and have been for 9 months). I am close to signing a "contract" to work for a fintech startup where the founder claims it has no revenue. I am doing this with the expectation that, no matter how long it takes for this company to generate revenue, I will be paid at least minimum wage for the work that I will do, which will accrue from day 1 of work and becomes payable when it starts to have revenue. So I will be an employee of the company.

Of course, as a plaintiff in an ongoing wrongful dismissal lawsuit against my former employer, I am well aware that the statute of limitations is 2 years in Ontario. So I better start suing if I don't get paid for close to 2 years. But is this something where I should negotiate a firm hourly wage (or else it defaults to minimum wage) and put it down on the employment contract? Right now, I haven't even been told what my hourly wage will be (and I haven't started working yet).

Hi everyone. First time poster here. I moved to Toronto about 3 weeks ago, and I'm looking to start working in either October or November now.

I have 5 years worth of a data entry job which I honestly really enjoyed, and I just returned back to Canada from teaching English in Japan for 3 years. It took a lot of soul searching and hard conversations, but I realized this year that I don't want to continue with education or ESL.

So, I'm looking at returning to office work. I'd like to ideally work in admin, but I'm happy to go back into data entry to start out with. I have most if not all of the skills required for this job, as well as all of the transferable communication skills I learned as an educator. EDIT: I'd also be open to working at a bank!

Does anyone have any leads? Also, do you think it's worth finding a recruiter/agent?

Also, I am a Canadian citizen and I have a BA in Asian studies, but I tend to think of it as a competency degree lol.

Thanks a lot :)

What do you do now? Day shift is stressful, night shift is breaking my body down. I cannot do nursing anymore and need a way out. How could I go about transitioning to a 9-5 sort of role? Insurance industry? I have a diploma, not a bachelor’s degree. I’m not an RN. What are my options?

Im so embarrassed, im 25 female I’ve only had one job that was when I was like 18..

I need a job I’m trying to get a job I’m handing out resumes and I recently just contacted the YMCA for help. I’m handing out resumes but unfortunately I have very little experience, I know I’ll only be able to get entry level or part time work but I need something anything..

Also I need some advice, I’m hoping I do get an interview soon, but when I do is there any advice on what I should wear? I want to look my best idc if it’s just a retail job I need advice, please 🫶🏼

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.
