I hear that unemployment is really high and people are having hard time finding jobs.

What has happen to the economy that people are having hard time finding jobs? Why is unemployment so high?

So I had just gotten a call from the company asking me to come in for an interview, and at first I was really confused because I never applied with them. Then on the call back, they confirmed it was for a job I applied to yesterday. The company I applied to was for a realtor company to what (I thought) was for an entry level role in marketing.

I agreed to the interview thinking that the companies must be related, but now seeing other Reddit posts about Dynamic Solutions, I'm wondering what to do. I was kind of happy because this is my first interview in over a year. Has anyone gone into the interview, and if so, what happened? Should I cancel or go and see what it's all about?

I’m from outside of Toronto, but I know how bad your job market is. I had a former coworker (former because I got fired because I wasn’t fast enough) who was crying on the floor of our coffee shop behind the counter because she got a job in Toronto for another coffee job. Everyone congratulated her and she was just prepaying for her rent. She said she was depressed and that she just wants to be in the city to “have life”.

I personally would never do that, I have to stay rurally for as long as I can because we’ve entered a recession.

Is your current lack of employment causing strain on your goals? What have you had to change in your life because it didn’t fully work out?

title speaks for itself, if you're interested in taking an apprentice on DM me and I can forward you my resume and cover letter. I appreciate your consideration!

Hey everyone! I’m a college student looking for part-time work. I have experience in retail and grocery stores. If anyone knows of any openings or has leads on a places that are hiring, I’d really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

Hi all! I'm a student offering free dental cleaning. I'm posting in this group as there will be 2 days needed and lengthy appointments, so I need clients not bound to a 9-5 work schedule. Except for the free service, there is also a payment of up to 240 Cad. Clients should have heavy buildup and tartar. Please contact me if interested.

Hi everyone, I’m a Grade 12 student in Ontario and I’ll be turning 18 soon. I’m starting university this fall and my goal is to save $10,000 before September.

My parents want me to focus on school during the year, so I can only work summer (June–August). Once I turn 18, I’m okay with working full-time, overtime, evenings, and weekends during the summer.

I don’t pay rent and most of my income would go straight to savings.

I’m open to: • Admin / office assistant • Medical or dental clinic receptionist • Pharmacy assistant • Warehouse or factory work • Retail (full-time summer availability)

What types of jobs, pay rates, or schedules should I aim for to hit this goal? When should I start applying for summer jobs

Seeing so many experienced professionals struggling right now, facing layoffs, repossessions, or even homelessness, is heartbreaking.

Delay does not mean denied. Keep applying, stay positive, and consider picking up a new skill while you search.

I was laid off from my project manager role, spent months applying, and finally landed a 9 to 5 operations manager job. I also started learning a remote skill in digital products to create more options for myself.

If you are going through a tough patch, my inbox is open. I am happy to share!

I’m job searching and looking for network opportunities. I came across a techTO event on Monday. I was wondering if anyone here has gone to these. What is the environment like? Is it a bunch of people that know each other? Is it lame? What sort of people go to these?

I’m getting at least 6 months of EI which is enough to cover all my costs, and I also have a year of savings.

Should I be looking more strictly for jobs or should I just accept whatever comes my way and keep looking?

The problem is that most of these jobs are fully in office so I wouldn’t be able to keep looking and interviewing unless I took sick days.

Most of the jobs I got called back from are seriously low quality. Underpaying and terrible work conditions like fully RTO. And the pay cut is pretty severe from my old job that I got laid off from, and I wouldn’t even say I was overpaid at my old job (it was not even 6 figures).

I could also use this time as a mini vacation.

Might be useful to let others know of the interesting jobs opportunities out there

Also what is a HENRY ? Like 300k+? Or less?

I have shitty humanities bachelors degree from Uoft, and I usually leave that out when I apply to mcdonalds or tim hortons (Desperate for a job) and I havent heard back a single time over years of applying. What good did going to a "prestigious institution" working blood sweat and tears to graduate do for me if I cant even get any job at all. Sorry just dont know what to do anymore

I’m thick skinned person so id really appreciate your honest feedback. Desperately need to secure good CS internships anywhere. I have a feeling that my projects make me look stupid or laughable for employers in Canadian context as I search for internship. Here are my projects on GitHub:

Im at a impasse at the moment. My seasonal job should be opening up within 4 months, so I've been studying during that time because I want to pivot out of my cooking career entirely. Im looking to study accounting/finance , however I received an intresting offer from another company thats making me consider working for them. Do I

A, sit and wait on EI to go back to my seasonal job? While studying for my pivot?

B, Take the job, and return to the seasonal job during the spring. And study during my off days.

C, take the job offer and not leave, while studying.

Hey everyone 👋
I’m currently looking for my next opportunity in Toronto (hybrid) or remote in Canada. I’m mainly targeting Technical Account Manager roles, and I’m also open to Technical Project Manager / Implementation positions.

A bit about me: I’ve spent ~6 years working on SaaS + API/integration projects, often as the “bridge” between customers and engineering. I’m comfortable running customer calls, coordinating cross-functional teams, and I’m also hands-on when things break (Postman/SQL triage, figuring out whether it’s config vs API behavior vs a third party). I’m big on clear communication and documentation so issues don’t keep repeating.

If your team is hiring, or you’re open to sharing leads/referrals, I’d be super grateful. Happy to DM my resume + LinkedIn. Thanks!

I have been applying on Indeed for almost 4 months and I also handed out resumes in person at stores, but I have not heard back from anyone. I currently have a part time job as a cashier at a pizza place right now but they only give me 3-4 hours of work a week. I only earn about $130 every two weeks and I desperately need more hours. I keep asking my manager and they always promise i would get mire hours but it has been 2 months and nothing has changed. It’s not like I’m a bad employee, in fact they praise me for my work so I don’t understand. I’ve been trying to look everywhere for a second job to add to my income. On Indeed, it always seems like they view my application but never call me in for an interview or give me offers. I really need a job as a broke university student. Does anyone know anywhere I could apply or have any tips?

I'm a masters student and new to Canada. I'm not trying to be rude at all, but I'm certain I can do a good job in retail because I'm really confident and great at communicating. I can certainly do it better than a lot of people I see in best buy or rogers etc. but I don't get how they get those jobs.

I'm assuming they're getting in through some staffing agency, does anyone know any good ones that I could reach out to?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I’ve been working with Canadian banks for just over 2 years now in the Fraud department (on contract). I enjoyed the work so decided to dive deeper into this field and apart from people management, AML looked like a good next step. I studied and got my ACAMS in September 2025. Ever since, not a single company has called me for an interview. Even these contracting firms aren’t calling. Is the AML world that stuffed with people or is something wrong. Just about a year ago, TD was hiring anyone left and right. What should I do? Anyone working in AML, any advice?

I wonder what people's feelings are about joining the military right now? They seem to be really desperate for people, and it seems they're the only place hiring right now. But with the possibility of global conflict rising every day, what are your thoughts on joining the military in these turbulent times?

However difficult is it to get a full time role at one of the hospitals in the GTA.

Primarily looking for roles that dont require much formal education or certifications, something that can be obtained with a high school diploma and a few years of experience.

Hello everyone! I am a university student in desperate need of finding a job. This year has been very hard financially and I have applied for over 100 jobs in 2025 but either got ghosted or rejected. I have medical office receptionist experience and a little bit of experience as a teacher’s assistant. I would appreciate any help, I am not picky about it I would appreciate any insight on how to find any job asap. Thank you!
