How Can We Make Job Hunting in Canada Less Stressful?

Hi everyone,

As someone who’s been closely following trends in the job market, I’ve noticed how time-consuming and exhausting job hunting can be for many Canadians, especially fresh grads or those transitioning into new fields. Sending out countless applications, rewriting resumes, and tailoring cover letters for every role can feel like a full-time job itself!

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

• What’s been your biggest challenge when looking for a job in Canada?
• Do you think hiring processes could benefit from more automation, like AI matching candidates to roles based on their skills and experience?
• How do you feel about replacing traditional resumes with more skill-focused approaches?

Disclaimer*: I’m working on a project aimed at improving the hiring process in Canada and am genuinely interested in hearing community feedback on these challenges. This isn’t a promotional post, I’m here to learn from your experiences.*

Update: Thanks to everyone for the robust discussion!
