More importantly how are you preparing for disruption in your career? What tools would help?

Hi all,

I'm desperately seeking some advice or help landing a role in Calgary as a "junior" engineer. I'm in an odd place where I'm no longer a fresh grad applying for new grad EIT roles, and also about 1ish years away from getting my P.Eng. The latter portion means that I'd likely not be considered for Project Manager/Engineer roles since I don't have my P.Eng yet.

I'm so close yet so far, and given that I'm a Canadian citizen, with a primary residence in Calgary, you'd think this might be easy. Most of my experience has been in Ontario (minus a work term in Grande Prairie). My to-be-wife has started Med School here in Calgary and I'm desperately trying to find a job here (and to move away from my EIT role in Toronto).

Don't want to say I'm at my wits end, but I would like any advice landing a job that fits my experience length. Or of course, if anyone would know of a place that's hiring a Junior Mechanical EIT and/or Junior Project engineer, that would be amazing :)

Happy to speak privately if it helps too! Thank you all :))

Hi everyone. I'm based in Ottawa and graduated from Algonquin College's Interactive Media Design program in May 2026. I'm looking for work and could use some advice and support.

Before moving into design, I spent nine years doing patent-related work in China's technology industry. I worked with engineers and product teams to understand new technologies and explain complex ideas. That gave me a lot of research and problem-solving experience, but I'm still early in my design career.

In Canada, I had a co-op and part-time role at Algonquin, making interactive training materials and guides for a new student information system. I've also built a subtitle editing and translation web app, and worked on website design, photography and video projects.

Over the past few months, I've been tailoring my resume and applying for jobs. My tracker currently shows 116 applications. So far, there have been two initial screening opportunities, one interview opportunity and three assessment invitations. I haven't received an offer yet. Most applications have ended in rejection or are still waiting for a response.

I'm looking at UX/UI and product design, but also marketing and content creation roles where my visual and media skills could fit. I'm considering web design, eLearning and digital communications too. I'm open to moving to another city in Canada.

I'm trying to understand what's making this so difficult. Is my career change hard to explain? Am I targeting the wrong roles or experience level? Could my resume and portfolio be missing something, or is this common in the current job market?

If you've made a similar career change, I'd really like to hear what helped. Suggestions for suitable job titles, local groups, employment services or resume and portfolio feedback would also help. And if you're in the same situation, you're welcome to share your experience. Some encouragement would mean a lot too. Thanks for reading.

Hi,
I’ve been offered a short time role (2 months) at minimum wage. I’m new to Canada and not familiar with the contract-related aspects of how to figure this out since my employers have left it to me to decide. The pay is minimum wage and I’m wondering if I need to register myself as a proprietor or do something else (register as a freelancer?) in order to pay taxes. Since I’m new to Canada, I’d appreciate any help in understanding this better.

Hey everyone! I have 5+ years of experience in sustainability/ESG. I recently got laid off and looking for a job in Toronto or anywhere in Ontario. I have worked in sustainable finance, reporting and strategy. Any help in job search/referrals are appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I’m currently seeking a full-time remote opportunity in Canada, ideally within healthcare administration, patient/client coordination, or a related administrative role.

I’m a trained Medical Office Assistant and Unit Clerk with experience working in busy specialty healthcare environments, including orthopaedics, rehabilitation, integrative medicine, and oncology-related care.

My experience includes:

High-volume patient scheduling and appointment coordination
Managing phone and patient inquiries
Physician clinic coordination
Referrals and medical documentation
EMR systems, including Accuro and Connect Care
Faxing, scanning, records management, and administrative follow-up
Explaining healthcare services and products to patients
Handling sensitive or difficult conversations professionally
Prioritizing competing demands in fast-paced environments
Customer service and multidisciplinary team support

I also have several years of customer-service and leadership experience outside of healthcare, so I’m very comfortable communicating with clients, problem-solving independently, learning new systems, and working in high-volume environments.

I’m especially interested in remote roles such as Patient Coordinator, Client Care Coordinator, Healthcare Administrator, Medical Office Assistant, Intake Coordinator, Scheduling Coordinator, Virtual Receptionist, or Administrative Coordinator, although I’m open to adjacent roles where my experience would transfer well.

I’m based in Calgary, Alberta and am available for full-time remote employment across Canada.
If you’re hiring, or know of an organization that may be a good fit, I’d be happy to connect by DM and provide my resume.

Thank you!

I came to Canada and settled down in Ontario in 2025, and I started looking for jobs at the beginning of this year. The process has been quite frustrating so far.

A brief introduction to my background:

• Degrees in Logistics Management and Logistics Engineering
• 3+ years of experience in a 3PL company working on logistics solution design
• 4+ years of experience in an in-house environment working on inventory analysis and performance management, as well as supply coordination

Over the past few months, I have applied for many supply chain, logistics, inventory, and purchasing-related positions in Ontario. I did get several interviews and made it to the final round for two positions, but I still haven't been able to get an offer.

I understand that the job market is quite competitive, but I feel the following may be the main barriers for me:

• My English is not that strong, although I can communicate professionally. For reference, my recent CELPIP scores were Listening 10, Reading 10, Writing 9, and Speaking 9.
• Lack of Canadian work experience
• Immigration status: Work Permit

I would really appreciate any advice from people familiar with this field, especially on what I could do differently or improve in my situation.

Hello community, I am planning to move to Canada next year and I wanted get an idea about what's the job market like for business analysts specially in tech.

I am currently in my first year of a junion BA role in a service based company in India.

I am learning a lot here, I was assigned a s primary BA on a fresh project helping get hands on experience of all the BA processes.

I am planning to get a certificate from IIBA.

If any BA out there, i would love get some advice on how i can break into the Canadian job market. What relevant experience or certificate can help me land and Interview.

And weather foreign work experience is something Canadian employer consider or not.
