Please help out a girl

With the given economy, I know it is very difficult to find a job but if anyone is willing to help that would be great. I'm really just looking for entry-level jobs that I can stack while I am a part-time student in my gap year, I've worked as a receptionist, in retail, worked with kids and I am currently working as an administrator 9-15 hours a week.

I'm just feeling so stressed about not having money. I've already applied to scholarships and I've in total gotten 3 which is great but not enough. Anyone else feeling the struggles?

Resume Help?

Hi Everyone,

I've been virtually pounding the pavement for the last 2 months and am getting nowhere.

I'm looking for a part time entry-level job (cashier/sales associate, server, etc).

I know some places have likely passed because of my availability (I can only work evenings Tue-Sat, full availability Sun/Mon), but I'm hoping someone might be able to give feedback on my resume or recommend a free service that could give me some advice.

Thanks in advance,

A girl who desperately needs to stop doing Doordash

Want to relocate here - Where to look for jobs?

I'm a Canadian citizen and I recently graduated with my bachelors in computer science from a Uni here in Alberta. I have ~2 years of experience doing FSWEP (federal gov internship) in climate modelling and environmental sciences research. I did another internship for a green tech startup, and this one was a full software development role. I am looking for jobs within software sustainability or software roles within green tech companies; anything within the interdiscipline software, sustainability, or environmental sciences.

I live in a small town in alberta and I want to re-locate to Edmonton. What's the best approach for someone like me to look for jobs in Edmonton? Should I just apply on indeed or whats the best job hunting platform? If anybody has any leads for someone with my background, please leave a comment.

YEG Movers still attempting to remove critical posts

Comment in the archived post speaks for itself. To the owner of YEG movers, as I've told you multiple times through your multiple accounts, the post does not break any rules in this subreddit, nor reddit terms of service.

Continued spamming of the moderator message log will result in this post being highlighted for a week, exposing the possible abuse of LMIA system by your company each time.

A Pharmacy in Toronto, ON has requested a LMIA to fill a Pharmacy Assistant position that they say they can't fill with a Canadian or PR. The wage offered is $36.00 per hour.

The position requires a secondary school diploma and 1-2 years of experience. The job duties are:

Ensure the information on prescriptions is accurate

Enter client information in databases

Help pharmacists

Maintain inventories of medications and pharmaceutical products

Maintain prescription records

Compound, package and label pharmaceutical products

Bill third party insurers

Compound oral solutions, ointments and creams

Maintain supplies

​

The median wage for a Pharmacy Assistant in the Toronto Area is $19.50 per hour. Coincidentally the offered wage of $36.00 per hour is the exact wage needed to qualify for a LMIA as there is an active refusal to process in Toronto for any LMIA paid $35.99 or lower.

​

I attempted to find the LMIA history for this business but I was unable to. They are either a first time filer or they bested me.

​

**Disclaimer** I am not accusing this business of wrong doing. I am posting an active job posting for the purposes of documenting active job postings that are utilizing the program.

PSA: Don’t fall for unpaid training/assessment at entry-level jobs

I interviewed for an entry-level position at the Chatr mobile kiosk at the city centre mall and the owner Ali said that since he liked my answers, he would promise me employment after a day of assessment.

He also mentioned that training usually takes 2-4 days. I'm an immigrant who is relatively new to the country, hence ignorant of labor laws, so that seemed fair to me. At the end of the "assessment" day he mentioned that employment will be confirmed by the end of the week (so 4 days) and he would test me at the end and offer employment later. For two days I basically worked as his unpaid assistant while learning the job.

Later, when speaking to some friends I realised that unpaid training is illegal here so I didn't show up again, but yeah just warning anyone out there who is also desperate for an entry-level job - the market's bad but don't make the mistake I made.

UPDATE: filed a complaint against him on Alberta Employment standards. Sent him a "Request for payment" letter after which he has 10 days to respond- failing to do so, the complaint would be escalated further.

25 and kinda defeated can’t land an electrical apprenticeship despite construction experience

Hey guys, I’ve been looking for an electrical apprenticeship for a while now and haven’t gotten anything. I honestly thought I’d be a strong candidate since I’ve worked construction for a while I’ve been a top man for 3 years now, basically a jr foreman. But I keep getting rejected and I don’t know what the next step is.
I was planning to defer school so I could get into the workforce, and now I feel like I should’ve gone into trades years ago since I love hands-on, physical work.
A few things I’m weighing

  1. PACT should I apply? I don’t know if they’ll take me because of my age.
  2. Solar installer job offer I’d be taking a huge pay cut, and the hours wouldn’t count toward my AIT since the contract says “labourer” and not “1st year apprentice.” But they have an electrical side and maybe with time they would promote me but I assume it would take a whole year and I don’t want to waste time being a labourer and the hours don’t mean anything should I still take it?
  3. NAIT or should I just go to NAIT and become an indentured apprentice?
    I’m so confused and pretty frustrated right now. I really thought I had an edge with my experience, but I guess not. If you guys have any info or advice, it’s badly needed. Thanks.
