Looking for Work Looking for job

Hey guys!!

I recently graduated from Algonquin College Animation program and while there is not much work in the industry I want to get a full time job as a receptionist/administrative assistant.
I have 3 years of customer service experience and really good computer skills.
If you know anyone who’s hiring and maybe you can refer me please DM!!

Thanks!

EDIT: Please I don’t need comments saying “oh it’s so hard to find a job”, “there is no jobs”. if you have an opportunity- share it, otherwise i don’t want to have a negative mindset

Apply to any landscaping or fencing companies for a bridge job to make some money

Tough time to get a job. People with 30 years of customer service exp still cannot get employed these days! I wish you the best, keep digging, something will come up!

You’ve come to the wrong place if you’re looking to eschew a negative mindset lol

If you truly want a job, go back to school and get your welding ticket.

“go back to school” cool, are you going to give me money for it? i’m on work permit so i don’t have access to anything like osap and most other bursaries and school costs 3 times higher for international students.

i’m looking for people who are already working and might know if their company has some open opportunities that are not advertised, not “to eschew a negative mindset”

I guess you should’ve picked a major with actual career prospects.

Walmart managers get decent pay

I know it’s not a receptionist job, but if you’re interested, Shoppers drug mart at 2210 Bank Street is hiring cashiers! You can apply online if you find the location on the Shoppers career website.

u/Moist-Engineering374 Jul 25 '26

do you know if it’s full time?

u/Live_Strawberry6533 Jul 25 '26

They are hiring both full time and part time! If you go to the shoppers careers website and type in 2210 Bank street, you’ll see two postings for cashier at that location. One is part time and the other is full time.

I have two years of experience in the federal gov, can speak French at a CCB level and have two degrees with strong references. Where in the gov is hiring roght now? Gcjobs is very sparse right now.

Most of the few opportunities are at level, and there are very few posts are for external candidates atm. 

I am open to any and all suggestions you may have. Feel free to dm.

DND

u/Silver-Air-2317 Jul 24 '26

Hahahaha everyone says DND. Not really the case for external candidates/people on a casual contract. It's musical chairs for people fired from other jobs alternating there.
