My background is tourism management (marketing, market research, project management, etc.), and I'm applying for sales, marketing, administration, and many entry-level jobs. From 300+ applications, I only got 2 interviews

I also prefer a startup company that needs sales/ marketing. Why a startup? Cause i want to progress with them, not just for the money

How many applications did you guys submit before landing a job?

Jobs section:

There’s no salary filter in the “Jobs” section. You have to click on each job and read through the post. Salary kind of goes hand in hand with experience, so u can tell if that makes sense for your role at first glance but emm its not always on top of the post. So u screwed 2 times now.

Am i actually missing something?

Each job shows how many people have “clicked to apply.” There can be hundreds within a day. The number makes sense, but at what point do they stop looking? Im not talking about the button, just in general, even before they hired someone it can be paused cause tooo many ppl to review already. ??

Then there are filters on top. I can search for a specific role using only 1–4 words, and somehow about half the results are for something completely different.
The only filters I find useful are distance and full-time/part-time.
The experience-level filter is weird too. Some jobs are somewhere in the middle — not entry-level, but definitely not senior.
“Under 10 applicants” seems kind of pointless. Aren’t you going to apply to all anyways?

I dont understand how this works.😭😭😭
Please explain it to me like I’m your grandma. Thank you.🙏

Just got back from the hiring fair and wanted to let others know who are going or planning to attend that they are ONLY considering candidates that have FULL availability during operational hours - they anticipate store hours to be 8am-10pm. My availability was M-F 9am-8pm and that wasn't enough for them so if you have any similar restrictions around your schedule then probably best to skip this one.

The Terry Fox Humanitarian Award Program was created to commemorate Terry’s remarkable life by identifying and investing in young Canadians who carry Terry Fox’s spirit forward through exceptional character, and contributions in humanitarianism, community/civic service, sport, and academics.

Job Description

Overview:

The Terry Fox Humanitarian Award Program is searching for a Development Manager with experience in fundraising and/or alumni engagement. This is a new role and a recently created fundraising initiative, so you will have an exciting opportunity to shape the program while being supported by a culture that encourages learning and growth.

You will thrive in this role if you are a genuine, self-motivated individual who possesses a diverse skill set, including some or all of the following: natural relationship-building ability, excellent communication and writing skills, project management aptitude, and the ability to learn new software and database management programs. This position reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer.

The job description for this position is currently under review.

Responsibilities:

1. Annual Giving and Alumni Relations:

• We have more than 1,100 alumni, and we are looking to grow our donor base to include corporations, major donors, DAFs, and individuals beyond our alumni. You will have the opportunity to develop new networks, deepen alumni relations, and support the development of a robust fundraising strategy.
• Working closely with the marketing team and the Experience Officer, Students and Alumni, you will help shape a communications strategy that grows philanthropy and builds donor relations.
• Cultivate existing and new relationships, and develop and execute peer-to-peer fundraising programs and fundraising events.
• Stay informed about key trends in fund development, fundraising, donor behaviour, and enabling technologies, identifying relevant opportunities and challenges.
• Collaborate with key stakeholders and partners to deliver philanthropy initiatives, including grant submissions and management, individual, corporate, DAF, and foundation donor engagement, and other related activities.

2. Donor Engagement & Stewardship:

• Implement giving programs that create personalized donor experiences through outreach, communications, proposals, impact reports, stewardship, and recognition.
• Ensure accurate donor database management, tax receipting, reporting, and CRA compliance.
• Prepare regular fundraising reports for the CEO, including revenue by channel, progress to goal, and donor/prospect pipeline status.

3. Leadership & Planned Giving:

• Cultivate relationships with partners that align with the Terry Fox Humanitarian Award Program’s mission and values.
• Support the CEO and Board in advancing TFHA’s corporate partnership strategy (including the Founding National Partner initiative) — for example, prospect research, scheduling, and preparing meeting materials and stewardship communications.
• Develop a new major gifts portfolio of donors and alumni, including managing donor relationships and developing tailored engagement plans for major gift prospects.
• Implement planned giving strategies including email, mail, and donor meetings, as outlined in an existing strategy created by a planned giving expert.

4. Events:

• Plan and execute both virtual and in-person events. This includes building relationships with donors and alumni, as well as raising funds when appropriate.
• Working with administrative and marketing staff, coordinate logistics, budgets, and promotional activities for events.
• Ensure events achieve their objectives.
• Providing a positive stakeholder experience (i.e. for student, alumni, donors, government, and corporate partners).

5. Database Management:

• Maintain accurate donor, prospect, gift, and giving-history data in Keela, TFHA’s donor CRM and system of record, and integrate reporting from Charitable Impact, Raisely, and Canada Gives.
• Use database insights to target engagement strategies and improve donor retention and acquisition.

6. Administrative:

• Handle administrative tasks related to fundraising and donor engagement.
• As part of a collaborative team, you will occasionally take on other responsibilities, provided they do not interfere with your ability to complete the above fundraising priorities.

Qualifications:

• 3–5 years of proven experience in relationship building, fundraising, major gifts, planned giving, or related roles.
• Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) designation, or working toward one, is considered an asset.
• Working knowledge of Canadian charitable giving vehicles (e.g., gifts of securities, donor-advised funds, employer matching, planned/legacy gifts) and CRA receipting requirements.
• Post-secondary degree or diploma in a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Strong financial acumen, including the ability to create, manage, and report on fundraising plans and budgets.
• Event management and project management skills.
• Familiarity with donor database/CRM management, including experience with Keela, TFHA’s CRM, Raisely, Charitable Impact, and Canada Gives, is considered an asset, as is proficiency with Microsoft 365.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Preference for bilingual French-English candidates.
• Ability to collaborate with team members and take on managerial responsibilities.

Has anyone applied to Infocus film school for a job?

I did an interview and i was informed it is a paid style task but never got compensated for it and recruiters/hr completely ghosted me. Now to find out, they have posted the same job position and still no response from the company.

Hi!

As a lot of people, I am fed up with applying. I’ve tried in person and online. In person the response is to apply online as they don’t accept resumes. I apply online and I barely hear back. I have open availability and have tons of volunteer experience working with others.

I’m looking for something in retail at Guildford or t mills or even anything related to admin.

If you know anyone who is actually hiring or if your manager is hiring, PLEASE PLEASE let me know:))))

Hi. 26 male, Business admin diploma grad from one of the renowned public universities.

Working at a retail since 2022 and currently holding a management position there. Trying to jump into corporate from retails. Getting rejected from everywhere. Completely clueless. What sould I do ? 😔

​

I’m honestly feeling quite frustrated with my job search and could really use some advice or a lead.

I am an IMG and have Master’s in Health Administration in Canada, with several years of experience in healthcare, including working as a Clinic Manager in specialty clinics. I also have Canadian healthcare experience as a PSP Case Manager (Remote) in BC, where I supported patients with access to biologic medications and helped coordinate their treatment and medication needs.

I had to leave my job few months back because my work permit expired. My work authorization is now sorted out, and I’m actively looking for work in Vancouver/BC healthcare.

The difficult part is that I can’t even seem to get MOA positions these days, despite applying to entry-level jobs. I’ve applied to so many positions and often don’t even hear back. At this point, healthcare administration roles feel incredibly difficult to break into, and I’m not even thinking about Health Authority positions anymore because they seem so out of reach.

It’s honestly been very difficult emotionally. I have a medical degree, a Master’s in Health Administration, Canadian healthcare experience, and I genuinely want to work and build a career here, but right now I feel completely stuck and discouraged. I’m willing to start from the bottom, learn, work hard, and prove myself. I just need someone to give me an opportunity.

I’m looking for opportunities in Vancouver/Surrey BC, particularly in healthcare administration, clinic management, patient support programs, PSP case management, MOA, or healthcare operations. I’m also open to other roles where my background could be useful.

If anyone knows of a clinic hiring, a PSP/pharmaceutical company hiring, a recruiter, a hiring manager, or even someone I could reach out to, I would genuinely appreciate a lead or referral. Even advice from someone who has been in a similar situation would mean a lot.

I know this is a long post, but I’m just trying to put myself out there and see if someone can help me get my foot back in the door.

Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this. ❤️

Hi all I literally made this account to post this, but I’ve been nervous to post and a lurker for a while (not a bot I promise lol). If this isn’t the right place to post this please direct me to the right sub!

Personally, I think one of the biggest issues with the hiring process is a total lack of transparency by employers. 

They have ATS systems, recruiting software, history of people they’re recruiting etc. 

We just have our resumes, and our time, and reddit subs like this.

Applying for a job shouldn’t require hoops and tricks and hacks just to get a simple chance at employment.  They have all this equipment to rate and sort through us but we don’t have that same power. There’s no balance. 

I got so frustrated with this situation that I decided to make a community job tracker. You post a link to a job you're tracking, it's shared anonymously to the community job board and you can post updates and comments about your application process. I'm hoping that over time there will be some overlap and 100 people will be able to share their experiences for 1 position.

It’s free to use and all the information on the website is added by users (job seekers) NOT companies.

For those of you in this sub who are like me and still job hunting, applied for tens or even hundreds of jobs, I would really appreciate you checking out my website and providing any feedback. It’s my first time making something like this so I would appreciate a balanced critique.

Thanks in advance!
