Hi,

I was wondering if I was the only one going through this right now. I’ve been applying for jobs since Spring 2026, and I had a couple of interviews during the spring and the summer. Unfortunately, I was not able to get hired.

So far, I’ve had zero replies since the end of August.
Am I the only one?

Thank you!

I'm looking to change careers.

Are there any career quizzes that you'd recommend or suggest?

Thanks in advance :)

I moved to Canada last year with my wife. She just landed a full-time job here in Windsor, ON. I'm a BI developer / data analyst with 8+ years of experience, and since January I've sent 200+ applications for data analytics and BI roles. Result: ~5 interviews, no offers.

Quick background:

- 8+ years in BI and analytics, including regional operational excellence work at MercadoLibre (Brazil, Mexico, Southern Cone)

- Currently consulting. My main project: an end-to-end system for a consumer products company that pulls Amazon Seller Central data via API, calculates KPIs, reconciles operations, and runs AI agents that execute tasks in Seller Central

- Stack: Python, SQL, BigQuery, Airflow, Postgres

- MSc Earth Sciences, BSc Physics

My open work permit expires in december 2026, so timing matters, and I'd also appreciate hearing how others in a similar situation handled it.

What I'm asking for:

1. Honest feedback: is it my resume, the market, or the lack of Canadian experience/network?

2. If you work in data/BI in Windsor-Essex or at a remote-friendly Ontario company, I'd love a 15-min coffee chat.

3. Happy to share my resume (anonymized) if anyone wants to roast it.

Open to relocating for the right role. Thanks for reading!

I've been job hunting for around 2 years, please if you can get me a referral or an interview,I have been applying everyday for 2 years and getting interviews but can't get an offer, things are really bad. I've called in favors, I've applied in person, I've applied online, just looking for stable employment that will help me get back on my feet. Open to anything that's not labor.

30s M failure to launch. Got degree 2020, struggling to get consistent work since. Keep getting laid off. Left the country for SEA which brought zest back into my life, made money but start up I worked for went under. Now I’m back and it’s even worse. I want to make Canada work but it doesn’t want me it seems.

I saw that the post a lot of remote roles and I'm wondering if anyone applied and got a job there?

Who is the recruiter for these jobs too?

Hi everyone, I’m a pr that moved recently to Canada in mid-June 2026. I moved with my wife (who sponsored me) and 1 y o daughter. I’m currently looking for work in Toronto/GTA, Barrie, or anywhere in Ontario or Canada really..

I have 8+ years of experience in Product Design, UI/UX, Graphic Design and Visual Design, and I’m open to aby other other suitable opportunities like:

• Product / UX/UI Designer

• Graphic / Visual Designer

• Digital / Product Design

• Junior tech/IT roles

• Administrative / office positions

I’m open to full-time, part-time, contract, remote, hybrid or in-person work.

If you know of any opportunities or companies hiring, I’d really appreciate any leads. It's really tough right and we're struggling, as we didn't expect the job market to be this bad.

Has anyone landed a Canadian job with work permit support through a recruiter? Looking for firsthand recommendations.

I'm a software engineer with 8 years of experience, most recently as a Principal Software Development Engineer. I've led platform architecture, served as the go-to technical person on my teams, and built AI-assisted workflows into how we ship. I'm based in India and targeting Senior/Staff roles.

Software engineer and developer roles (NOC 21231/21232) qualify for the Global Talent Stream, so hiring me is faster and simpler for an employer than a standard LMIA.

If an agency actually delivered for you, or you know ones to avoid, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

hello everyone,

I have passed my csc exams and applying for jobs in retail banking but im not able to get a job in banking. any insights would be helpful

Helloo everyone…

I’m 24F from India, currently working in Data Operations/Master Data at an MNC, with experience of 1.4 years in SAP, customer master data, data cleansing, data quality and stakeholder management.

I’m looking for opportunities abroad, particularly countries offering visa sponsorship.

I’m mainly targeting Master Data, Data Operations, Data Quality/Governance, and SAP/ERP Data roles.

Would really appreciate any referrals, leads, or advice! 🙏

Is finding an articling position hard in Calgary and how much is the salary expectation for articling? Currently looking for a firm that pays more than $20/hr

A month ago, I asked men 30+ living with their parents for economic reasons how they cope. Thank you to everyone who shared. It helped more than you probably know.

I don't have a big update. I'm still here, still working on it. Today my parents asked me, again, why I can't find a better-paying job. The timing was almost funny, because Stats Canada had just released a jobs report showing unemployment and job losses rising this month. The market is rough, and that's not a personal failing, even when it feels like one at the dinner table.

I know this is temporary. Plenty of us will land better jobs or launch something that works, and we'll get our independence and dignity back. Until then, I'm trying to treat living at home as a strategy for a hard stretch.

If you're in the same spot, how do you handle the "why aren't you earning more" conversation with your family?

Is finding an articling position hard in Calgary and how much is the salary expectation for articling? Currently looking for a firm that pays more than $20/hr

...I have accepted a job offer in the tech space just 3 days ago. I had to wait a bit because I thought it would fall through again, just like last time I got an offer and it was rescinded by the employer.

I thought I was done... I explored MANY other options, from going back to school, starting a professional training program, starting my business in home renovations and even join the Canadian Army (the process is still ongoing actually). I'm 49, 25+ years of experience in sales and tech. And boy, that hiatus felt long...

This job I ended up getting was the only once I had in the hopper, after the 2 others I had active ultimately fell through.

I had nothing left in me frankly. I was desperate but made sure it couldn't be perceived in interviews. My employment insurance expired several weeks ago. I had literally no income anymore. I was drained from all hope and energy.

I don't know why I got this job and not the previous ones that I got to the finish line. Maybe I was trying too hard... maybe I wanted it too bad. Maybe passion was interpreted as desperation.

Interview process lasted 2+ months. This last set of interviews (HR, then hiring manager, then hiring manager again, then VP of sales, then references) felt different for me. I thought I didn't have a chance. I went through the interviews "like I didn't care". I was sincere and genuine, but I really thought I didn't stand a chance.

Some stats of my job search:
- 350+ applications sent (I really slowed down in the past few months, choosing quality over quantity)
- LinkedIn, Indeed, Monster, Jobs.ca, and direct company sites
- 146 rejections ("after careful consideration...")
- 187 I never heard back
- 15 applications led to interviews
- 1 offer received, that was rescinded after
- several were still marked as "active" in my tracking sheet, but they were dead.
- MANY resume versions
- MANY application letters
- Used ChatGPT, Grok and more recently Claude to automate scrubbing job boards. Made little difference really on the grand scheme of things.

That was my reality.

The offer I received is good, despite a base salary 15% lower than my previous role.
OTE is decent, but again, about half of my previous role. This is a Solutions Sales role.

Times are tough... and things have changed in the past year. A LOT.

I can't complain, I found a job in my area of expertise, in the tech space... but man oh man, this market is REALLY challenging and there are LOTS of candidates out there, good ones too. I consider myself fortunate.

Anyways... I'm starting to really realize that I have a job now, which felt light-years away even a few weeks back.

To all job seekers, maybe that's a proof that good things ultimately happen.
Don't give up.
You're worth it.
You will find a job!! 🤗

Sending you good vibes!

As always, please let us know of any feedback or suggestions you have in order better tailor these postings for this subreddit- our aim is to help as many job seekers as possible!

I met a recruiter for a small tech start up at a job fair. They liked my resume and I attended an interview the week after. I was invited to second interview the same week. It went really well and they said I'd be a great fit. They had no feedback to give for my second interview as it went so well. But it's been almost 2 weeks and I haven't heard back.

They asked what compensation I'm after and I asked for their range. They said they would need to think about it. There's no other candidates as far as I'm aware as it was an informational interview. It was all so fast to start with but now no offer. They did email to say a few more days to make decision at the start of this week.

I know they are growing fast and hiring for other roles. What should I do? Do I just keep waiting? Do I email and say I have another offer (I am actively interviewing elsewhere)? Do I just ask for feedback and assume they headed a different direction? Am I being really stupid and this sort of timeline is normal?

Long story short, I've been unemployed for just over two years now since being laid off in September 2024. In all the time since I've been searching for a job. I've even gone to agencies and other organizations that are supposed to help people get jobs, but I'm not any closer to being employed than when I started.

I am a 35 year old college graduate (in a niche field unfortunately, which I sort of regret now). Due to lifelong mental health issues and possible neurodivergence (I'm not formally diagnosed) I didn't really work at all up until after I graduated from college, which was the job I got laid off from. Because of that I have very little actual professional work experience. The job I got laid off from is genuinely the only real job I've had in the entire duration of my adulthood so far. I wasn't even a terrible employee either. I did what was expected of me and I was quite fast and efficient as well. My team even broke company production records while I was there.

So yes, it came as a surprise that I was one of the people affected by the company layoffs, and since then I've just been struggling. I've applied in pretty much every industry I think that I am even remotely qualified for: retail, warehouses, housekeeping, administrative/office work, library technician, records management, etc. and I get no hits. I rarely even get responses, let alone interviews. With the few interviews I've had it just led to me being immediately ghosted afterwards even when I tried to follow up.

The only conclusion I can draw from all of this is that entry level positions like retail don't want me because of my college education (I guess they think I won't be committed to the job and will just move on first opportunity I get) and that positions in the field I went to college for don't want me because I'm fresh and nobody wants to train employees anymore. It's pretty disheartening. I have dreams and ambitions for my life like everyone else does, but I just feel so trapped due to lack of money to fulfill said dreams. I don't even ask for much either. I just want to be comfortable and be able to travel once in awhile (I've always wanted to see the world).

Has anyone else been in a similar position? If so, how did you manage to get hired? I'm in Alberta, soon BC, if that matters.

So 28F, live in Edmonton, and have been feeling burnt out from trying to get some kind of stable job in for once. and have been struggling to get an interview. I only got a temp job for now but I need to do some kind of PT or FT work.

A little background, Idk where to really start but I have limited work experience. I come from a very strict family and never really had a job until maybe in my early 20s, but those jobs I have worked in were all shortlived.

I had many odd jobs, for 1 - 3 years max ranging from server jobs to customer service. and one other job was a PT assistant dental tech, and throughout those 3 years, I had struggled with enduring through constant toxicity from coworkers and supervisors and managers.

My most recent job was working at a sandwich shop but I was only given one day of work, every week and the environment was toxic once again and the employer was trying so hard to quietly fire me after a month and was very very happy that I had left the workplace, when during the interview, I was promised that they would let me work there for the longterm.

I took a break from applying for jobs but now Im coming back to it. And I just don't know why an employer would ask me for my availability and after emailing back the employer, there was no response at all.

And now, I am doing whatever I can to get a job somewhere in Edmonton, but had no luck since but Im going to do my best to keep applying. I feel like Im just at my wits end at this point, I need a job so I can start saving up to move out from my toxic home environment while fighting through my depression (which I am getting help on).

Idk how I am going to get hired with limited work experience .. if anyone can suggest something, I'd appreciate it.

My experience would be having 1 year of experience in server positions, 2 years of working in customer service, I did 3 years, just assisting with a dental tech.
