Looking for a Referral for a Cashier Role at Real Canadian Superstore (Vancouver) – Any Current Employees Willing to Help?

Hi everyone,

I’m a 19-year-old female currently looking to apply for a cashier position at Real Canadian Superstore in Vancouver, and I was hoping to connect with someone who works there to ask if they would be willing to refer me for the role.

I have previous experience working as a sales associate, where I developed strong customer service skills and a good understanding of handling transactions, so I’m confident I could be a great fit for the job.

If you currently work at the Real Canadian Superstore in Vancouver and are willing to refer me, I’d really appreciate it! Or if anyone has any advice about applying, the hiring process, or tips for the role, that would be incredibly helpful too.

Thanks in advance! 😊

Chefs and cooks in Vancouver, how is your life?

I always see posts on here like “omg I only make 70k a year and struggling with just eating Kraft dinner every night!”

okay maybe not like that word for word but similar. I just left Vancouver for another job in another city. But on a salary sous position in Vancouver of 50k + tip out (at least 60k+) I was saving easily 1k a month going out a few times a week, budgeting groceries and spending within my means. Mind you I was sharing with 4 roommates in Olympic village and had no car since public transit got me everywhere either that or my bike.

This is not a brag post, I am just genuinely interested with how much other chefs/cooks make in the Vancouver area and how y’all doing.

Need Job Leads in Mississauga, ON - Computer Science Grad with PR, Open to Any Work

Hi everyone,

I’m moving to Mississauga next month with my PR and am actively looking for work. I recently got married, and as you can imagine, I need to get on my feet quickly! I have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science with a strong interest in cybersecurity, but my experience so far has been in SEO and content writing, which I did during and after my studies to support myself.

I’m new to Canada and don’t yet have a professional network here, so I’m open to any kind of work that pays and has legal working conditions. If anyone knows of any openings (including internships related to computer science or cybersecurity), I’d be very grateful for any tips or connections. I’m even willing to work unpaid for an internship, as long as it’s relevant to my field.

Thank you for reading, and any suggestions or leads would be really appreciated!

Is it a bad idea to move back to Vancouver now?

I’m a vancouverite who has been living abroad in a low cost of living country for many years now, had a job for a while and run my own small business now. It’s easy with few barriers to be a business owner in my current country but the money in my currency doesn’t go far if I want to travel. I haven’t been able to afford to visit Vancouver with the money I make here.

I am terribly homesick and this country doesn’t suit me and I wish to move back to Vancouver, but im worried as I have a degree from this country, my last official job here was 4 years ago and I’ve just been running my own very small business for the rest of the time. I’m worried from this subreddit about how long many of you are looking for jobs, and im worried about my degree and resume making it harder. I won’t have any references. Will employers be okay with a degree from another country?

I have done basic jobs since high school to my early twenties in Vancouver but I think those are too old to include in my resume now. Basically my choices are be miserable in my current country but able to run my own business and live cheaply. Or return to Vancouver and face a long job search and no longer be able to run my own business and be forced to work any job I can get, alongside high cost of living. But I would be so happy to be back where I feel at home.

Any opinions? I’m very torn. Do you think the job market could improve in a year or two?

Applying to multiple positions at same company — yay or nay?

I was wondering what are people's thoughts in our Lower Mainland area about applying for multiple jobs at a same company.

I ask because there's some companies I'm applying to with one, two, even a handful of jobs that I feel I fit the bill in, but I don't want to appear strange to them, or even come across as a robot account.

I honestly think there shouldn't be a problem because there's nothing wrong with looking out for yourself and casting a wide net to try and get a job that suits you. But could that be interpreted differently by hiring managers? Do you do this, and if so, have you had any success in achieving interviews and the job itself?

Tech workers of Vancouver, are you considering leaving the province?

If yes, where to ?

I went to school at BCIT back in 2020 and worked for a startup for 4 years. Been recently laid off and haven't so far had any luck finding a new position as a full stack dev.

If you're in a similar situation, do you have any plans on what you're gonna do next ?

I'm a Canadian citizen so have considered moving south of the border but haven't really made a serious effort since I thought I might try my chances here a bit more.

Does anyone have resume advice for positions that have different roles than what I'm experienced in?

Sorry for the weird phrasing in the title, wasn't sure how to explain it.

I'm interested in applying to be a painter and the postings that I'm looking at all say that no experience is required. I have experience working in customer service, so I'm not sure what to put on my resume/cover letter. Should I put the experience even though it's in a different field?

Question about stat holiday

Hi all,

I'm a sous chef(technically a manager I believe) and the last few places I worked gave either the lieu day or scheduled me off. But my current head chef said for hospitality management there's no lieu day. I'm salary and to be honest I read through the employment act and well I didn't quite find an answer that I understood. Anyone offer some clarification.

Thank you

Let's start a discussion about the future! Which jobs are worth going for?

This is a long read. But if you're here it probably means you're not happily (or un-happyily) employed so.., you've got time.

I've been seeing a lot of "I have skills, education and experience and I'm not being hired" posts lately. Before I dive into the point of the post I just wanna say: you're not crazy, you're not less than, or lazy, or useless or any of that crap. You're not alone. So many are struggling and it's not fair..but unfortunately it is what it is.

That being said, the situation I find myself in has prompted me to focus more on research of the job market in general than actually actively applying for jobs 🙃. It's almost at the point like I know I won't get hired so why waste my precious energy, ya know?

I'm not going to go into the whole story of how I ended up being in this position, short version: I used to work in trades, got injured requiring 4 vertebrae removed from my neck and went to school for an administrative type degree because I thought it was a good idea for my future instead of disability payments for life.

Fast forward to now, I am on the other side of the country. The diploma mill school I went to doesn't even exist anymore so I don't even have a frikken good reference out of the 25k I spent on student loans (not to mention the interest of course) the jobs I am qualified for don't even really require the crappy diploma I stressed and studied and paid ridiculous amounts of money for, most are paying around 18 bucks an hour ..but it's much cheaper for a yearly business subscription to simply accounting and the like. Currently I'm off work on medical EI leave because I have crazy tendonitis and carpal tunnel, like can't even hold a pen or do up a button. Neuro told me to find a different job. I've already changed careers and now I can't even do my backup thing 😭 okayy then I guess we're going to round 3 of "you can't do this job". Cool. Cool cool cool.

Since then I've been spending my down time trying to come up with ideas for making a living without...arms basically? lmao.. none of them really help me personally but I have this info to dump so

TLDR-ish: So basically, point of the story is...I've been researching jobs that are in demand now/going to be soon enough. Jobs that will take a much longer time to reasonably become automated, jobs that need an actual human to complete and compete.. these are my findings:

Sprinkler fitter: pretty self explanatory - this is a training area that is slowly becoming its own standalone offshoot of plumbing/pipe fitting and becoming its own entity. This one seems to be specific to new builds. Shorter training and development time with decent enough wages. Tying into my second one-

Fire safety officer: this job basically consists of travelling to different businesses and apartments/condos/hotels to test and approve their fire safety systems. Check all smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, fire doors, access and egress, etc. kinda like the guy who checks BOH at restaurants but for saving people from burning instead of food borne illnesses. Most jobs hiring right now are currently offering company vehicles and repayment of course/ training/certification costs. So you just know they are desperate for competent workers.

Fibre op installation technician: this one is branching out from mainly being installed/retrofitted by telecom companies and their contractors to include personal and commercial security camera systems. Most single family units that use this service go through their internet provider (Telus, Bell, etc) or use a private company or ring camera system. The new primary money maker for this technology is coming from most new builds on highrises and most new businesses for security camera set ups as opposed to older cat5 cables and cctv.

HVAC system specialist or adjacent: global warming and whatnot yo! I feel that getting in on the ground floor NOW where there's enough older workers around to train you on the old systems before they retire, as well as learning the newer types is important to consider. You will be more in demand in the coming years for repairs for everyone who currently has older systems that just need maintenance and not new installation. Since air exchange and HVAC is becoming mandatory for new builds this one is going to be in pretty big demand. Side note on this one: MANY people are living in condos with HOA rules prohibiting them from installation of certain heating/cooling systems (ie heat pumps and air conditioning). If you focus on how to solve this specific issue you'd probably be rich real quick lol

I have more ideas about somewhat more niche markets that are untapped or underutilized if you wanna dm and discuss but I feel like I'm getting too "long winded post" territory already!!

Please suggest other things or correct me and challenge my thoughts! Discussion will help spark more and better ideas! Good luck out there 🤞

Has anyone ended up going to WorkBC because they don't have a choice

Age 30, Asian Male: has a degree from 2020 and still no career. Been unemployed since June 2023 and only had one interview recently but didn't get the job.

Serious question here. Has anyone gone to WorkBC because they're now in dire need of them even though you don't want to rely on them. I feel that I might end up having to go for a low paying job or whatever WorkBC "might" help me get just to so I can keep a roof under my head. I feel that given our political climate (BC NDP being re-elected into office, Federal government won't admit to losing confidence and overflow of foreign workers taking all of our jobs and beating us in job interviews) I don't think I can land a job I want and now I just need something just to survive. There's also no certainty that they'll keep you past probation or fire you during probation for something as simple as "I just don't fucking like you" kind of bullshit.

Ok. Imma stop there because i'm probably going off topic due to stress and frustration but back to my point. Has WorkBC actually helped anyone or are they overall just very useless. Does it depend on which branch and city you go to? Do they actually help or even care or are they just your typical bureaucrat like Hermes Conrad from Futurama?

Update: I ask that people don't dox me and use my degree as a way to get at my nerves. Everyone is struggling and just because you want to flaunt your ego around this isn't the place to do so. The main focus is about WorkBC. If you wanna play investigator this isn't the place to do so because you have too much time on your hands. Please be kind and respectful.
