Good day,
I just immigrated to Canada and I'm having difficulty gaining employment. I have 2 years of experience in administrative assistantship, office coordination and secretarial positions from my home country. It feels like my lack of Canadian work experience is preventing some companies from hiring me. I am open to any advice, suggestion or input on what I can do to help my situation. Thank you

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer.

For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.
