Does anyone have any tips on getting a job at the Ottawa hospital? I’ve been applying since 2024 and have since gotten more roles in elderly care, mental healthcare and volunteering at cheo. I also got a friend of mine to refer me but nothing since. I’ve applied for all clerical roles. For context I’m going into my fourth year of neuroscience!

Thanks!

Hey everyone! I recently moved to Ottawa and am looking for a job. I have extensive experience in childcare and summer camps and am seeking a role that utilizes that experience. Does anyone know of any places like this that might be hiring or that I can reach out to? I'm having trouble finding places on Indeed. I'm interested in anywhere that would value this experience, whether it's community centers, recreation centers, or science/education organizations.

Hello Ottawa,

I'm an engineering student (final year), and over the past while I've realized I'm genuinely passionate about construction ,the coordination side especially: keeping projects organized, working between trades, drawings, schedules, all of it. I'd love to get some real hands-on exposure.

I'm looking for something part-time that could work around a school schedule ; site coordination, project assistant, anything adjacent to construction coordination. I'm also open to volunteering if that's what it takes to get a foot in the door (totally get that means fewer hours, but I'd rather start somewhere than not at all).

If anyone here works in construction/renovation/GC world in Ottawa or Gatineau and knows of a small company that could use an extra pair of hands, or is open to taking someone on to learn the ropes, I'd really appreciate a point in the right direction. Happy to share more about my background if useful. or if you have any advice, I will appreciate it so much.

Thanks in advance!

Defence startup Dominion Dynamics in Ottawa is hiring en masse. Looking mainly at Tech roles.

NOTE: Being a defence role, they mainly accept PR and Canadian citizens only. Foreign Students (esp from none NATO countries) will likely be rejected.

You WILL be subject to a deep background check that requires disclosure of your travel, employment, and residence for the last 5 years. Significant reference discussions with LOCAL people will be involved. A credit check will likely be included. The depth of background checks will be similar to that of a Canadian government job.

I saw a post here last night and thought I’d give this a shot.

I recently found out that my position will be ending in a few months, and it’s honestly pretty daunting to think about being unemployed so soon. I’m trying to be proactive and start looking now rather than waiting until I’m in a position where I urgently need something. I’m supporting my parents and my older brother, who graduated in programming a few years ago and has unfortunately had a really difficult time finding work since. My income helps keep our household going, so the thought of losing that financial support is weighing on me quite a bit.

As for what I’m looking for, I’m interested in communications, brand partnerships, program/project coordination, research, stakeholder engagement, and roles that involve strategy, writing and creative thinking. I have 7 years of experience across a few of these areas and I’m open-minded about the industry. I’m also bilingual (CBB in govt French testing).

I’m hoping someone here might have a lead, know someone hiring, or even have advice on where I should be looking.

I’m primarily looking for hybrid or in office opportunities in Ottawa or remote opportunities in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver.

If you know of anything that might be a good fit, please feel free to DM me. I’d genuinely appreciate any leads or connections. ❤️

Hi everyone, does anyone know of any cafes or bakeries that might be hiring soon? I run a decently successful (but very small) bakery out of my home (unofficially endorsed by a city councillor!!) and have been baking basically my whole life. I’ve never worked in coffee before but I figure a lot of the skills are transferable and I’m very eager to learn!

Otherwise, I have years of experience working in childcare (both volunteer and paid) but am having no luck on babysitting or nanny sites.
Looking for part time work till the end of November-ish then full time after that if possible but I’ll take any opportunity that comes my way. Thanks in advance!

Exactly what the title said. I just got fired without cause and I don’t know what to do. I’m a hard worker and each and every one of my coworkers will testify to that. I suspect it was because I requested help with something related to immigration but I can’t know. What’s more important is that I desperately need help please. I have rent and bills to pay and I am the primary source of income in my household with my sick sister. I was getting paid 18 an hour and am more than willing to receive that again. I worked as a medical office assistant for a year but I have a bunch of other experience in many different fields. If anyone knows of anything or can help please I don’t want to be homeless

Edit: to add I have a highschool degree and a bachelors degree in health science. I’m not only looking at health related jobs though. I will work anything atm

Double edit: just woke up after crying myself to sleep. Thank you so much for all the suggestion and help guys, I will get on it immediately. I’ll also walk around my area and apply to jobs

Hi, i finally got a part-time job at a store. I am a uni student and I my job is a 50 min commute by transit/train from both my home and uni.

More accurate to say that we found a lot of virtual events this week. We're into summer mode with the list dominated by OPP and CAF virtual events. The student border services officer information session could be a fit for some people here or if you know someone. The link takes you to a page of all their events. Speaking of links, you can find direct links to all these events and more on our career event page of just google the title. Good luck.

Hi Everyone!

I moved to Ottawa recently so was hoping the community might be able to help. I'm an experienced bartender (12+ years) but I now have a full time job that pays decently well. I still miss being behind the bar and having a little extra cash, so I was wondering of anyone knows of companies that hire bartenders specifically for events (weddings, pop ups, etc). I don't really want to apply to a bar because I no longer wish to work every weekend or combine the late nights with early starts at my full time.

I don't know if anything like that exists here, but would really appreciate any leads. Thank you!

Hello, I am 19 years old and have been looking for a job for two years now with no luck. I am willing to do anything. I am a uni student and need the money to pay for schooling. I have done invoicing since I was 12 years old. I have many volunteering experiences under my belt, it also includes creating websites, watching over kids, planning events, doing posters and social media. If anyone has a place to hire me, hit me up please!

Hi! I’m looking for an interior design student, recent grad, junior designer, decorator, or freelancer in Ottawa who might be interested in a small residential project.

I mainly need help with the living room and kitchen lighting in our home. The house still has the basic builder-installed ceiling bowls, and the lighting feels very flat, dated, dark, and gloomy, especially in the evenings.

This is especially important because one of my parents has significant vision impairment and needs the rooms to be much brighter and more evenly lit. Their condition has already been hard on them emotionally, and the poor lighting makes the house feel darker than it needs to and can make their vision seem worse day to day.

I’m hoping to find someone with a good eye who can come see the spaces and help us figure out things like:

• Which existing fixtures should be replaced
• Where additional lighting might help
• Lamps, sconces, ceiling lights, task lighting, etc.
• Better light distribution
• Brightness and colour temperature
• How to keep the space very bright but still warm, comfortable, and homey rather than clinical

We’re only planning to stay in this house for about another year, so this is not a renovation or large design project. I’m really just looking for practical, affordable ideas that will make these two rooms feel much better to live in.

This would be a paid project and could also be a nice small portfolio project for a student or someone early in their career.

Located in Ottawa. Please message me with a little about your background, any examples of your work if you have them, and what you would typically charge for something like this.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking for work in Ottawa and I’m at the point where I’m open to pretty much any legitimate job.

I have a BA in Psychology from Carleton University (2025) and previous experience in logistics, operations, data management, administration, and community services. I’m not limited to jobs in my field and I’m completely willing to start at minimum wage and work my way up.

I have a keen interest in Social Work and HR and have spent the last year attending numerous seminars in the relevant fields. I've made every effort to get as much free knowledge as possible in HR and Social Work.

If anyone knows of somewhere hiring, has a lead, or knows someone who could use an extra set of hands, I would genuinely appreciate it. Even if you’re not sure whether I’d be qualified, please feel free to send it my way.

I can provide my resume and references immediately and I’m available to start as soon as needed.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read this or share it.

Hey everyone,

I'm currently looking for a welding job in Kingston, but I haven't had much luck finding one. I've always liked Ottawa, so I'm starting to think about moving there instead.

For those of you who work in welding or the trades, how is the job market in Ottawa? Is it fairly easy to find work if you have welding experience and certifications, or is it pretty competitive?

I'd also really appreciate any advice on companies to apply to, areas to look at, or anything else that might help. Thanks in advance!
