I know the cybersecurity market is hyper-competitive and every entry-level or mid-level job gets 1,000+ applicants. But I’m hitting a wall and honestly losing my mind.

I’ve been actively applying for almost a year now with zero offers. The worst part? I actually make it to the 2nd, 3rd, and final rounds of interviews, only to get the same soul-crushing boilerplate response: "Sorry, you don’t meet the requirements" or "We moved on with other candidates."

To keep myself sharp, I’m doing bug bounty hunting, but that's a whole different beast compared to labs and courses (finding real-world bugs is way harder than CTFs, haha).

Out of desperation, I've started applying to non-cybersecurity roles, heavily stripping down and modifying my resume, and I'm still getting rejected or ghosted everywhere. I'm intentionally steering clear of IT Ops (helpdesk, sysadmin, etc.). After spending years levelling up into security, going back to where I started isn't an option for me, I want to keep moving forward. I'm also heavily involved in the local cybersecurity communities which is great because I meet a lot of like minded individuals.

Flame me, troll me, or give me hard advice, what else can I possibly do at this point?

Anybody here take a pre-apprenticeship/Foundation trade program? I'm a little older but I'm thinking of making the switch and taking one.

Sign in the window, apply in person

I am looking for both someone freshly out of school with an accounting / finance degree and/or someone who is experienced in FP&A to work for a corporate retail company based in Vancouver. If this is interesting, please send me a message or request me to DM you and be prepared to send me a resume.

Located in Richmond, BC and will require you be in-person. Must be proficient in excel and understand finance / accounting.

Edit: Salary between $40,000 CAD - $80,000 CAD depending on level and experience.

I want to work as a cashier, but I struggle with mental math and counting money. I’m wondering if using a calculator at the register would be okay when I need help counting.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did your workplace allow you to use a calculator, and did you eventually get better at counting money?

I know the register calculates the change. I mean if a customer hands me a mixture of bills and a lot of coins, I sometimes have difficulty counting how much they gave me. I’m wondering if cashiers are allowed to use a calculator to total it

Canadian/Australian dual citizen. 10 years experience as a doctor. FM qualified but a decent amount of EM experience also (but no EM fellowship).

Looking at taking my young child back to Canada for a year or two, maybe in 2028. Wondering what sort of locations would be hiring (metro/regional/rural)? How quickly would my books fill up? What's the approximate annual gross salary?

Looking at BC/ON at the moment. Thanks in advance 😊

It seems to be fraud! I never applied to work for them!

Hello everyone,

Is making $2800 net per month a livable wage in Vancouver? Is it possible to live on my own? What do you think?

I had an interview with them and it's been like 25 days now. I even sent a follow email and no response for that too. Should I try calling em? Any experience for anyone? Thanks.

Hello,

I have 10 years customer service and office experience and want to know how to get clerical positions for RCMP/VPD?

I also have a lot of criminology coursework completed from Kwantlen.

I’m 23 (F) and I just graduated from Emily Carr University with a BFA in visual arts. I also have an associate’s degree prior to that. I currently can find absolutely no work anywhere - in my field that is. I know Vancouver is absolutely horrible for young people to get jobs lately, but does anyone have any advice or resources??

It’s super frustrating that nowhere I have applied to has even acknowledged my applications. I have applied to at least 30 jobs relating to my practice, and nothing. Please help!

Hello. 22F. I just had an interview with a small company for a Painting & Decorating job. I got the job.

I am currently registered with STEP (Skilled Trades Employment Program) and I have an advisor who I check in with regularly during my job hunt. He says I should not take the job for the following reasons: 1) it is sub-contract work 2) the fact that I am a woman plays a weird role in my hiring (too long of a backstory) 3) I told the company I cannot start on Monday but they seem persistent on it 4) I am expected to purchase safety equipment (harnesses, hardhat, work boots) on my own and then get reimbursed later on, but spending that much money out of pocket to get reimbursed later is not an option for me and STEP can only help me get the tools if 5) I receive an official employment later and paystubs, which this company cannot provide.

I was also told 1 week paid vacation per year which isn't a huge problem for me but raises questions about the company's values on taking time off.

So obviously, I am skeptical but I've even considered taking this job because I'm so desperate. I WOULD consider it even more if the company could sponsor me for a Skilled Trades BC apprenticeship. But, they are not familiar with the process and don't seem very keen on it.

I worked as a bike technician for 4.5 years and that's pretty much my only experience in the trades. I would really go for anything at this point, maybe I need to change my pathway. I am good at math and physics so potentially electrical?

Can someone give me some advice? Maybe a woman in trades who has a short story of how she got into what she got into? Or anyone at this point...

Thanks :)

Hi everyone. I have an upcoming (one hour )technical interview for a Geospatial Data Analyst role, and I’m feeling quite nervous as it’s my first interview in a long time.

The position mainly involves working with two departments, Forestry and Wildfire, supporting them with geospatial analysis, and maintaining and developing geospatial workflows.

I’d really appreciate any tips or advice on what to expect from the interview, particularly the technical side. If anyone has interviewed for or worked in a similar role, I’d be interested to hear what kinds of questions or scenarios might come up and what areas would be worth brushing up on beforehand.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

So I interviewed for a job a few weeks ago, the interview did go well, but the interviewer stared she was interviewing a lot of people for the one role. I never heard back so I obviously didn't get it. But now I'm seeing the same job newly listed online again. Does that mean despite interviewing lots of qualified people they didn't find anyone?

This is for a small local company as well. So I can't imagine it's being done for the data. The interviewer was the business owner. Is this typical behaviour?
