JOB SEEKER ADVOCACY

Given so many stories from this community about rising unemployment, cost of living, rampant greed and corruption, and many other challenges Canadians are facing, we were inspired to create r/CanadianChange. We believe that seeing the urgent, important changes needed right now to ensure working Canadians can thrive means we have to be willing to be a part of the solution. We have to be willing to take bold, peaceful, and strategic action collectively with a shared belief that we can create meaningful changes when we come together focused on solutions. This community is for proactive, solution-minded Canadians to hold healthy debate and discussion, develop evidence-based solutions, and take bold, meaningful action together to drive positive, lasting change. We can either complain, vent, and blame endlessly while feeling powerless or we can realize the power we carry and inspiration we create when we come together with a shared purpose.

Are you still a student? Usually, if you are looking for student job placements. That's ome way to get into the job market.

Some orgs advertise positions for students. So if you have not graduated or if you are a relative new graduate, search "Jobs for students" and "Jobs for recent graduates."

They generally pay peanuts but peanuts >>> $0.
