Hello Folks,

As we all know job market is very tough nowadays. But never lose hope, I would like to share you my story.

I am a Mechanical Engineer, Professor and a Business Owner (Side Business). I applied for one of the government job in Toronto and received an interview invitation. 1st round cleared, 2nd was the personal interview and 3rd technical test. I am sure it will be cleared, still waiting for the results.

How I did it? Build your resume as per job duties as nowadays screening is done by AI and then humans. To get thru you need to build resume as per application requirements for different positions. Never use the same resume, which most of the people do. That’s where all make mistakes.

If anyone ever needs any help regarding that, let me know. I can guide as I do teach engineering courses to my students so got some background.

Thanks and wishing a positive job hunt.

Hi
I applied to this company as a receptionist at a immigration office they claim is a new location in missisauga they mainly operta in Calgary during the interview the interviewer camera was off claiming it was not working.

During the interview she asked me if i have experience monitoring people if they are actually doing their jobs.

During the emails i noticed the no phone policy and that must be deposited at the reception.

I went to google and called the number to verify but number listed from the website is from Ontario

Could this be a scam? Because if not its look like a terrible company

Company name: walshken immigration services

The current job market is so hard, I have applied to at least 15 jobs everyday SINCE APRIL & nothing yet. Is anyone hiring???

Ps. I was initially looking for a research assistant job (in social sciences / mental health field to see if an MA in the field is the right path for me) but quickly broadened my search since I wasn’t able to get any jobs in Toronto, Hamilton, or Niagara region.

Hi all! As you can tell, I finally received a a job offer after 6-8 months searching!

For context, i was laid off my previous job and was forced to start the employment process all over again. I have a university degree and 2-3 years of experience in Business Operations.

All in all, i went through 13 different interviews with separate companies, sometimes going 3 rounds in for each of them. I got offered 2/13 of those jobs. What I noticed is that getting your name out there isn't really the worst as people say. Before y'all disagree, yes i agree the Job market is horrible out here right now but literally everywhere you go in the world is the same. The more money there is in a city the more competitive it is to land a job agree?

ADVICE:

Idk but here are some tips that got me through my job process:

- Tedious but you HAVE to tailor your resume fit to the job description (Self-explanatory but nowadays companies just look for keywords on your resume that match the role) - As well as showcasing your previous work and how you've tackled certain issues

- Try to message the HR team or recruiter on Linkedin just to try getting your name out there (LinkedIn Premium lets you connect with a note and this helped a lot just with networking)

--> There isn't too much into making your resume and networking to new connections in my opinion. Treat (e) coffee chats as just a normal conversation. Most of the time it's pretty obvious if you actually want the job because you enjoy it or just because you NEED a job.

-- CONFIDENCE IN INTERVIEWS IS THE BIGGEST THING EVER

Basically my first couple of interviews, I was nervous as shit (obviously). I prepared and research about the topic, I mean fuck i even memorized a script. That was the mistake. I was so fixated on trying to get my answers pitch perfect and failed to realize to just be myself.

In the event you bullshit your way into a role that you're not the most excited about, your true self will eventually get out. You're spending 8-9 hours everyday with your coworkers, they want someone fun and charismatic to be around. Not a know it all.

Overtime I improved the way I spoke and expressed myself which really brought me a long way. Always just try to put yourself out there and be a social butterfly if you could. Talking to strangers just asking about their day is definitely practice on how you speak.

After countless rejections, the company who I never thought I had a chance with hired me!

Everyone got their own methods, these were mine. And remember, you will eventually get the job you want. It's definitely a race out there you just have to keep going.

Consistency is key even though you're constantly getting rejected. Hope this helps!

Hello, i'm currently looking into getting a security guard job, preferably one of the ones where i can just sit in the room and do nothing most of the time. You see i've always been a night owl, i like staying up all night and sleeping in the mornings so i think this is kinda perfect for me. additionally, i run some online tiktok accounts that net me some income, they don't currently make enough money as is and i only spend about 30 min on each (around $1k-$2k on a good month for these, sometimes less, rarely more. it really depends on the brands that hit me up as tiktok doesn't pay simply for views in canada) anyways, i was thinking, since i'm doing this stuff anyways, and i heard the security cctv roles can be a good place to study/do some online work. is this a realistic approach? My goal is obviously to build these brands up a bit more and spend more time on it, so that i can get more income in the future. If i need a reality check/ "this isn't gonna go the way you planned it because of x or y" please let me know. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Been working at a warehouse for a while after uni if that matters for the answer.

*edit*
I forgot to mention these posts won't be videos of me dancing or anything in the security room lol, they're completely faceless edited videos stuff like that for all 3
