I’ve applied to around 100 jobs over the past 3 weeks and have only heard back from two places. Unfortunately, I haven’t been hired anywhere yet. I’ve applied online, but I’ve also tried going around in person with resumes, only to find that a lot of businesses don’t accept paper resumes anymore.
I have experience in hospitality, customer service, animal care, and cleaning, and I’m Smart Serve certified. I’m honestly starting to feel pretty discouraged and would really appreciate any advice on places that are actually hiring or strategies that have worked for people in Kingston.
If you know of anywhere hiring, especially restaurants, bars, animal care, or customer service positions, I’d really appreciate the suggestions!

Hey all,

I am currently entering my 2nd year at Queen's and am looking to find the best ISP for my apartment for me and my 2 friends. Does anyone have any recommendations for cheap, fast and reliable internet services? I'm considering going with Oxio as their prices are quite competitive. I just can't for the life of me justify spending 70-80/mo with Bell or Rogers. If anyone has any ideas please let me know ASAP!

Moved here from Ottawa recently and have yet to get a good cut. Specifically the beard, the top is just a buzz cut.

Looking for 2~ mature professionals to share a nice house in Kingston

This might be a bit different from the usual roommate post.

I'm a working professional in my late 30s, and with the cost of renting a one bedroom in Kingston these days, I've been thinking there has to be a better option than paying a fortune for a small apartment.

I'd like to find two other mature, working people who are interested in finding a nice 3-bedroom house together and splitting the cost.

The goal isn't to find the cheapest place possible. I'd rather pool our money and have a genuinely nice home: clean, comfortable, nicely furnished/decorated, a good kitchen, decent outdoor space if possible, and somewhere we're actually happy to come home to.

I'm pretty laid-back, but I'm past the party-house stage of life. Ideally I'd like to find people who are responsible, clean and respectful, have their own lives, but also don't want to live like complete strangers. Cook a good dinner occasionally, have a beer or glass of wine, watch a game or movie, sit outside in the summer, etc. Basically a comfortable adult household.

I'm thinking roughly 30s–50s, although personality and compatibility matter much more than age.

I don't have a specific property picked out yet. I'd actually prefer to find the right people first, meet for a coffee or drink, see if we're compatible, and then look for a place together.

If you've found yourself looking at Kingston rents and thinking something like this makes a lot more sense, send me a DM and tell me a little about yourself

Has anyone had success with laser treatment for dark spots ( caused by sun damage). I went to the Cooper Clinic had the 3 session package laser treatment, there is no difference. When I mentioned this to the technician on my last visit she told me to get a good foundation. I wish she had told me that before I spent $$. So back to my original question has anyone found a treatment that works?

Anyone have any money people in town they’d recommend for giving financial advise/counselling to someone trying to build an investment portfolio for retirement?

Can’t use a TFSA due to foreign tax issues so I’m stuck with an rrsp/rrdsp but I’d like to go over the fine prints with someone who’s well versed in it.

Don’t really trust banks FAs because they get kickbacks and commissions and are therefore biased as to the strategies that make them the most commission

I have been driving for many many years but this younger woman driving a blue Honda sedan this morning driving ahead of me heading into town on Montreal Street was brushing her hair - ok that's not so abnormal - still got one hand on the wheel.......next thing I see - she is french braiding her hair.....with both hands! Took her about 8 mins while her car crossed over the centre lane.....this is all during busy morning commute.......glad no kids, animals or school buses were around her.......this is so dangerous. If this was you - for the love of all that is holy, get up 5 minutes earlier and do your hair at home. You could have caused a huge accident.

My husband and I are visiting Kingston in November for a Saturday afternoon matinee of Its a Good Life if You Don’t Weaken. I know it’s a college town, but I’m wondering if there are any bars or pubs with live music where a couple 40-somethings won’t stick out like a sore thumb lol. Thanks!

There's places in downtown that say no parking between 2am-7am. Does that mean that if it's 1pm, i can park there without paying?
