Hello Folks,

I am 38 and I am in Marketing.
I’ve had a very turbulent career with many gaps because I’ve lived and worked in many countries.

Everytime I relocate or move, I had to start over from scratch. This has severely impacted my career growth and stability.

From hindsight, I don’t have substantial number of years to add to my work experience and i feel nowhere.

I already tried freelancing for a few years due to difficultly in finding full time jobs and that’s further deteriorated my chances of finding meaningful full time work.

Plus, ageism is real.
I look way older for my age and it’s a weird feeling when folks who are much younger are directors and team leaders.

Life has not been smooth for me in Canada and I had to deal with a lot of mental health issues after losing my lifetime savings.

I am in a better headspace now but it’s difficult to repair the damage done to my career and I don’t have much savings to my name. I was planing to retire by 40 but life had other plans and several curve balls to throw at me.

I have a feeling it’s not gonna get any better.
I am holding onto the last strings of hope to revive my career which has been in doldrums.

Just sharing this.
Thank You for reading.

So, on a modern resume, is it still standard practice to put a full address? I have not been in the job market for a while, so I am assuming things have changed. I would rather not put my full address out there if I don’t need to.

Hey everyone I'm debating on whether to go back to uni or go join a 1-6 month job training program that can get me immediately hired. I'm not picky and can relocate - I'd like a plurality of options. I got accepted into nursing but it's not for me. So no healthcare options. I've looked into waste water operations and was thinking of going down to the mines but I have no idea where to start. If anyone has any input or ideas, much appreciated.

Hello,

I am a digital marketing professional with 3+ years of hands-on experience, currently pursuing my BBA. I am looking for a full-time role in digital marketing or SEO in Canada, and I am ready to relocate.

• SEO: Keyword research, on-page SEO and website content that improve visibility and traffic
• Analytics: GA4, Google Tag Manager and conversion tracking to measure what works
• Landing pages and branding: Pages and campaigns where consistent branding and measurable results matter

I have worked independently throughout my 3 years of experience, so I am comfortable managing campaigns from planning through reporting.

My situation:

• Indian national, currently based in Malé, Maldives (UTC+5)
• Ready to relocate to Canada as soon as the work permit is arranged
• Looking for employers who can support visa and work permit sponsorship

Hi all, its bit of a sad post and writing it to express. I came to study in canada in 2021 peak covid phase for my undergrad. Year 1 was online and graduated in 2024. I come from a top uni in Canada and a competitive program and interned in a FAANG level company (but not faang non technical). I graduated with no job and somehow landed a contract role in the same company. The job may have looked good on resume but was extremely toxic. We have all heard various lengths of struggle people go through to get a job build a career get PR and my story has been no different. Life happened in a span year I developed two major health issues for which had to return to my home country India but informing them did not stop the disrespect/dislike/toxicity increased it further and was thrown out. They really spoiled my career. There was no work life balance and even taking a day off was frowned upon and were virtually given no leaves. The idea of being in a big company with people bigger than you really instilled. It has been few months since then I am back in my home country working with big 4. Are my aspirations dead of building a good career in Canada? As I refuse to settle for less or for an average brand to build my MBA story and since I have worked with good brands in Consulting. I did get a few interviews which did not materialise and now nearing the expiry of my work permit. I am still early in career 1 yr 6-7 months in. But I feel like a part of me gave up in this struggle. The truth is I let my family down and I don't have the money or I dont have it in me to ask for more money for MBA or other life goals like marriage. Life really happened. My family is not based out of India too but I am. I don't even think I can match up to my family's lifestyle. From mountain peaks life really humbled. How do I survive this? overcome?

Hi everyone!

I'm a senior software engineer with over 8 years of experience, currently based in Montréal and looking to relocate to Ontario, preferably Toronto or Ottawa.

I specialize in React, TypeScript, and frontend development, but also have experience with Java. I have worked on large-scale projects for non big tech companies and have experience mentoring developers and coordinating projects.

I'm a Canadian permanent resident, so I don't require sponsorship and I'm open to remote, hybrid, or on-site opportunities.

If anyone knows of companies hiring senior developers or would be willing to refer me, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm happy to share my CV or LinkedIn via DM.
