After months of waiting I finally got hired by the City of Toronto

I applied back in October 2025 and finally got the offer this May 2026.

Not gonna lie, the wait was rough. With how bad the job market’s been lately, there were a lot of moments where I thought nothing was gonna happen. Sent out so many applications, got ignored by a bunch of places, and kept seeing people talk about how hard it is to even land an interview right now.

This one took months. Assessment, waiting for updates, checking my email every day hoping for something.

Today I finally got a call from the City of Toronto and it honestly feels like a huge weight off my shoulders.

Just wanted to share this in case anyone else is feeling discouraged job hunting right now. Sometimes it really does take time. Don’t stop applying.
