hi everyone, i work in a restaurant in sherwood park, and we’re almost always hiring, if you or someone you know has experience either working in a kitchen or serving/bartending, dm me with your resume and i can probably get you an interview!!
restaurant is local public eatery, starting wage is minimum plus tips. if you have lots of experience, you might get started at a higher amount.
Hello I've got a mechanical engineering bachelors and a masters degree in robotics. Please do let me know of any vacancy which needs to be urgently filled I'd appreciate the help, thank you!
Hi, I’m a motivated 22-year-old seeking part-time opportunities. Reliable, quick to learn, and eager to contribute to a dynamic team, I’m looking for flexible roles where I can apply my enthusiasm and strong work ethic while gaining valuable experience. Open to various industries and available for immediate start.
I know I am not the only one struggling to find a job. I am a Level 1 Childhood Educator with 10+years experience. Now I am half way through Level 2 Childhood Educator and have received honors in my courses and current first aid.
I go for the odd interview, but so far it is not panning out. I am wondering if there any other daycare teachers in here who decided to go into another field. If so what field?
Thanks.
I have been offered a contractual role with Health Shared Services - I am not sure to take it or not, I already have a permanent job offer in hand. Domain - HR
I’m a Canadian citizen living in the US (dual citizenship). Iv had all my documents up to date for a while but have held off on leaving the US due to the job market situation in Canada. My family is in Edmonton and they tell me how bad it is. On the other hand iv been wanting to make this move for over 4 years now and im getting fed up with being in the US
I currently have an exceptionally stable job in the US. Long story short, It’s a government and higher education job and I have a lot of connections at the company. I have 10+ years of customer service and contact center experience. I’m about to graduate with my BA in business admin. I may also be able to utilize remote work and extra pto iv saved up to travel to look for work
At this point…I’m just looking for anything. Literally I would take on any field so long as I match the qualifications.
Can’t do military service, can do some manual labor jobs but not all, and although I’m willing to get certifications I would have to wait until I’m eligible for financial aid.
Are there any routes I should take that I may not have thought of already? It sounds delusional but are there any early signs of a stabilizing job market?
Any advice helps!
Thank you!
I'm originally from yyc but I moved to Quebec and lived there for 6ish years and then moved to ottawa. its nice here ngl but I keep seeing Edmonton coming up online and how its a growing city.
I also saw how much its evolved since I left that province a while ago. I have roughly 3.5 years of industry experience (finance roles) and wondering whats the job market is like over there ?
I’m 19 and I’m still trying to finish up high school (I’m in a program that helps students finish high school and get their diploma), but I’ve considered getting a part time job to start making some money on my own without having to ask my parents for some. However, no matter where I apply, mostly online, I hear nothing back. The one time I tried applying in person was at an Indigo bookstore and they told me I had to send in an application online.
I tried checking Indeed, checking ALIS Alberta every once in a while, checking whatever job postings my school decides to show us, even redoing my resume with professional help. I’m also in the process of finding volunteer work just to boost my resume.
I’m tired man. Even when I try to find someone to contact to see if my job application went through, I usually can’t find any, and when I do (especially for big companies), it’s usually their general/company number that I find and not store specific. With the rampant use of generative A.I. in hiring, I feel like I’m losing my chance in getting a job whatsoever.
I recently graduated with a BA in Psychology and I’m struggling hard to land anything.
I’ve been applying consistently for a while now. I have decent experience (internships, volunteer work, some relevant roles), and my resume isn’t trash. Still feels like I’m just sending applications into a black hole.
So I want honest answers from people who’ve actually made it out of this stage:
What job did you actually end up getting with a psych / arts degree?
What actually got you hired? (be real — not “just network more”)
Are referrals/connections basically mandatory now or what?
If you didn’t have connections, how did you get your first break?
Did you have to pivot completely into something unrelated?
I’m not looking for generic advice I’ve already heard all the “tailor your resume” and “apply more” stuff. I want real stories of what worked.
Right now it honestly just feels like experience alone isn’t enough anymore, so I’m trying to figure out what people are actually doing differently.
Looking for kitchen staff with experience in restaurants.
Starting wage would be $16-$19(plus tips) depending on experience.
Restaurant is called Happy&Olive located on the west end.
Mainly evenings and weekends.
Why is finding a job in Edmonton so tough? I've been looking for a job for nearly 1 year and have applied to 100 jobs, but I've received no response at all or sometimes just rejections. That's eating me from the inside. Though I have a Canadian Master's Degree and experience, I did not get any offers or responses from the employers. When I first came to Canada and couldn't get a job, I thought, "Okay, maybe I don't have enough experience, which most employers require." So I applied to the University for the Master's Program, and studied Humanities for a year, and when I finished my two semesters, I started my job hunting. But since then, I have been scrolling through job boards and webpages... I'm losing my hope...
Hi everyone!
My name is Michelle, and I’ll be arriving in Edmonton during the second week of July. I’m currently looking for a job and would really appreciate any leads or recommendations.
I’m a hardworking, reliable, and fast learner with experience in customer service, sales, and working in team environments. I’m open to different types of work, including:
Restaurants or cafés
Hotels
Warehouses
General labour
Cleaning
Or any other available opportunities
I’m eager to start working as soon as possible and I’m willing to learn new skills.
If you know of any companies that are hiring or have any advice, I’d be very grateful. Feel free to comment below or send me a private message.
Thank you so much, and I look forward to becoming part of the Edmonton community!
Like a lot of you, I've been incredibly frustrated by the housing crisis, wage suppression, and the sheer volume of temporary residents over the last few years. We see endless posts and rage-bait about it every single day across Reddit and social media, but arguing in the comments doesn't actually change policy.
Right now, the federal government (IRCC) is running their official public consultation to set the Immigration Levels Plan for 2027-2029. It’s not getting much mainstream media coverage, and the social media algorithms definitely aren't pushing it because dry government surveys don't generate ad revenue.
But this is the actual data the minister uses to justify their targets to the massive corporations asking for more cheap labor.
If we don't fill this out, they will just point to a lack of public pushback to keep the caps high.
It takes less than 5 minutes. Tell them the infrastructure is maxed out, we need hard caps on temporary visas, and we need to prioritize housing.
Here is the link to the official Canada.ca survey. It closes on June 30th.
Upvote or share it so people actually see it before the deadline.
I find myself laughing at this cities job market more often during these times than usual.
You're telling me you want somebody to be a marketer, a server, and a cook all-in-one for the low low price of $15 an hour!?
Btw the type of restaurant has no meaning in relation to this to me. I'm south asian myself. I'm seeing ridiculous offers & requirements from every type of job.
Hi all. I’m thinking of applying for a kitchen position in a remote camp setting, so if anyone has any tips, advice or personal experiences that you could share, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you ( ＾▽＾)
I want to get into the oil field/drill rig as a lease hand or the so called starter position,
but everyone either wants a Class 1 or 1-2 years experience for entry level??
HUH? how the heck does one get an entry level position, that requires experience. Make it make sense please. I’ve got those certificates needed too so it’s not like I have no training or credentials.
I understand it’s slow with it being summer right now but yeah any help is appreciated
Hi reddit community,
Family of four (2 young children) planning on moving to Edmonton Canada from Hobart Australia next year. Husband comes from a policing background. We have some questions regarding the area.
Can reddit users suggest good family suburbs and share the lower socioeconomic crime driven areas?
Good schools and the and less favourable ones?
How accessible is the rental market? (Coming from a rental crisis Australia!)
Are there any users who have come from Australia and joined the Edmonton police service? If so, can you shed some light on your experience? Side question for me (wife) does the department regularly recruit for dispatchers? This is my background.
Is there much of an Australian expat community?
A very big thank you in advance for users advice :)
Man reading this sub is pretty downing. Few jobs, long searches, little prospects.
Does anyone have stories of actually finding jobs and how/where you got it? Maybe shine some positivity on a sunny day.
Anyone hiring?
Thanks
I managed a 3rd class power plant in Edmonton with a team of shift engineers and maintenance crew.
Did the shift scheduling, pm plans, project meetings, inspections and life cycle replacements on equipment.
I tried applying to sooo many jobs and nothing.
How to get recognized by recruiters?
So tempted to give up the career and do something else at entry level.
It’s crazy
