So I’ve come to the conclusion that employers in this city do not hire students from Ontario. Isn’t that fabulous. I am so mad about this, I have been trying to find a job for 13 months now, and NOTHING. Zero. I do not understand this at all. I have a great resume with 3 1/2 years of retail experience. Why do part-time employers feel that students from Ontario can not live up to the standards here? Students from Ontario are just as, if not more culturally diverse than a freak from Cape Breton who has to travel two hours just to find a Starbucks. If I had known this I certainly would not have moved out to the east coast. There are so many more opportunities in Toronto. I am convinced this city wants nothing good for me. Also the 15% tax rate can blow me. —Toronto I Still Love You

And the ‘Raggie” for Funniest Fake Bitch – 2011 goes to…..
Go back to Toronto — Problem solved.
Bye bye…have a safe trip back .
Boy, OB. Two bitches ragging on Halifax in the same day. Well done. (You also wrote the one about the tax rate, below, didn’t you? Wow. You DO like your Starblechs, don’t you?) How to maintain a theme! However, I find it a little hard to believe that in 13 months of looking for a job that you couldn’t find anything, nothing, zero. You’re doing it wrong. (or not hard enough. Maybe stop applying at Starbucks?) And then to blame the entire city, implying that it is somehow involved in this massive, sweeping, clandestine conspiracy campaign against hiring students from Ontari-ari-o. This serves no purpose other than to prove just how immature and wet behind the ears you really are. Tell me, is your resume, with all of your 3.5 years of experience (chuckle), as pretentious, dramatic and comical as your bitch? (Maybe it’s time to re-write it. Just sayin’)
Reality check, Sparky. You’re the stereotypical Upper Canadian brat. Spoiled rotten, silver spoon in mouth, never wanting for anything growing up. After being accepted to uni, mommy’s apron strings have been cut and now that you’re no longer sucking on her tit and have to fend for yourself, you’re finding it a bit too hard, cuz no one is bending over backwards for you and handing you everything on a silver platter. So, OF COURSE, the whole place is against you. It’s the only logical explanation, right? It’s true that Halifax is nothing like the T Dot (and I say THANK FUCK FOR THAT!!) but did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, the problem here is you? Time to put your big-kid pants on, Princess, and stop blaming an entire city for your inability to adapt. Either that or shuffle on back to your “land of opportunity” in the Big Smoke. (Why DID you come here anyway?)
Why do potential employers have to know that you are from Ontario? Don’t you have a Hali addy?
Upper Canada is calling you back home. Why did you move here again – for retail opportunities like you’d find in Toronto? lol. You really are a retard
You should really take your big city lovin ass back to the arsehole of the world. You can’t get a job here, because all the hard working people from Nova Scotia have taken them.
Now why would an employer want to hire an obviously self entitled, dick head such as yourself? A Cape Bretoner had 10 times the work ethic of a person of your mental capacity, and are much more friendly as well. Please leave.
You came to a conclusion with the wrong hypothesis……these employers are not against hiring from Ontario or Pluto……..they are against hiring YOU…..yes, it is your nasty attitude which does not transcend well working with the public. Take RE-tail and HI-tail it back the fuck home before someone kicks your lard arse over the MacDonald bridge.
It couldn’t be that Upper Canada attitude could it?
Ohhh, FFS, lighten up you guys.
You can’t expect the OB to take a lowly paying job of $35K/yr as a Wally Greeter when they can get $55k at Timmies in To.
I’ve worked with a number of students from Ontario…maybe they got hired because they didn’t have the same shitty attitude as you.
I don’t think it’s that, OB — I think the fact that you’re going to fuck off in April is what stops them from hiring you.
It’s a lot easier to retain an employee than to hire someone new. I’m in the process of doing some hiring and it’s a pain in the ass. Especially the training part (experience or not, you still have to be trained to the specifics of an organization). I’d rather hire an employee who I know’s from the area who will possibly stay during the may-aug months than someone who I know’s going to go home.
It sucks for you, OB, but that’s the way it goes.
Perhaps you should be looking for a job on campus? I always worked on campus while I was a student and it was awesome. The jobs don’t usually suck [that much — I was lucky with the ones I got — I got actual professional experience] and they’re very student-schedule-friendly.
Good luck, OB.
I’m with PK, OB. In another bitch, I mentioned that I worked in the college archives. It was a great job! It was inside the library, and the only people who went there were serous scholars…I basically got paid to study for ten hours a week. Beats schlepping burritos any day.

If this was a real Bitch, I might say “proving a regional stereotype, Upper Canadian?”.
But since this is Trolling, I will bid you good day, sir.
I said GOOD DAY, sir!

Lol freak from Cape Breton? Are we 5 now and throwing a tantrum? Awwww muffinnnn.
I work at a university and I hire students to work with me. I don’t care where they’re from, as long as they can do the job and can get the job done. *shrug*
Plus I bring my employees baked goods! ^_^
OB, 3.5 years of retail experience? Why would anyone want to hire someone who has no initiative to educate themselves and move onto a career. Although if retail shops want to hire drones, at least make sure they aren’t immigrants who fell off the boat.
Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out of Nova Scotia, you self entitled cunt rag.

“Students from Ontario are just as, if not more culturally diverse than a freak from Cape Breton who has to travel two hours just to find a Starbucks”
WOW make yourself feel better by putting others down much! Based on this bitch I wouldn’t want you working for or with me!
Not only can you not get a job but you are going to insult people from Cape Breton. great attitude you have
I don’t see anyone begging you to stay here.
not just you, there are tonnes of people in this city, and the maritimes struggling to find employment , and others do it without being a jerk and calling people down. Not a smart thing to do, I might add, when a lot of business owners and managers in this city happen to be from Cape Breton. Also people from there don’t have to travel for a starbucks because their coffee kicks its ass!!(in fact most coffee does!)
( although those pumpkin spice lattes are pretty damn good!) 🙂
Show a potential NS employer how well you suck cock and the job’s all yours, my knobgobblin friend from away!
When you return to Ontario you’ll find the tax rate is also 15%
McSquinty needs the money to pay down his massive deficits
ever hear the term, think local. why give some yoyo from ontario a job, when there are really starving people here. seriously, would you give a nova scotian a job, if you were at home, and ran a business? if you answered yes, you are a fucking liar, just as most of those from there are(think politicos).
Hello you fucking idiot.. I’m a ‘FREAK’ from Cape Breton and let me tell you, sweetheart, I’m obviously more culturally diverse than you are (well traveled, well educated, date outside of my race and the list goes on)..So..who calls someone a ‘freak’ because they’re from a more country setting?? You should look up the word “ignorant” and I bet you will find a lot of similarities between that word and your knowledge.. That would be like me saying “a prostitute from toronto’ which, unfortunately would be more of a truth..since all of you New York wanna be bitches all look like you came off the stroll.. Go fuck yourself. You should post a bitch with your name on it so that I can beat you the fuck up then you can say “crazy freaks’ from Cape Breton.. what a fuckin moron.. you should say this in public one day 🙂 see how SCOTIANS deal with you little pussies from toronto..yuck..go back home to your smog filled city (which has obviously fucked ur head up the most)
did they tell you it was because you’re from ontario?
Or do you just not want to consider the possibility that you blew the interview?
It’s harder to get a job here. Competition is a little stiffer. You have to be smarter than your average Ontarian to get work in THIS city.
Of course… this smacks of good trolling. If i’m right about that, Bravo honorable Haligonian. Bravo.
you must embrace the *freak* word…c’mon cr, that bait was teeny tiny
if it’s not a troll.. then.. well.. May i gently suggest that your pretentious bullshit attitude coupled with your obvious dimwit nature might have something to do with your inability to get a job..?
Toots, let me tell you something. I can guarantee i am better traveled and more worldly than you are. Those of us who have learned how to frequently adjust to foreign lifestyles are MUCH better adapted for being away from home than you are.
You’re a naive fool who thinks a two day car ride entitles you to call yourself “cosmopolitan”, who thinks they’re entitled to more than they actually are. You didn’t get the job because around here it’s not easy enough for someone like you to get a job. I wouldn’t hire you either. You’re a dingus.
Jesus Christ is from Toronto, no?
35k for a wally greeter? where do i find some grey dye for my hair?

I call bullshit on this! If you were that desperate for a job I know for a fact that Convergys and Teletech are constantly hiring. Yes, calls centers suck, but it’s a job. I worked at Convergys for a few months during the summer and they have a new hiring class that starts probably every week or two.So sorry that you’re spoiled rotten and can’t find a glamorous job here for you. I’m sure the Eaton Center has something more fitting for you. It’s not that there’s no jobs, you are just too good for a job you can get.
Before arguing that no one is hiring you based on the fact that you’re from Toronto, maybe you should get someone else to look over your resume and make sure there are no spelling or grammatical errors and that your formatting is correct. Job Junction on Mumford is a great resource for just that. Also, practice how you approach your would-be employers, if you seem douche-y, entitled, creepy or disinterested, it’s kind of a red flag. Also make sure you follow up, either with a call or in person to show you’re really interested.
whats with the attitude about call centres? If you imagine how difficult life was for the original settlers in this province, a call centre job to help you through school is pretty cushy.
Ontario is better in all ways then this shit province. This whole city is full of white trash, it’s disgusting, there is also a ton of racism here. I’d be embarrassed to say I was from here and the people that stick up for it are usually living a mediocre life, making minimum wage and smell like moldy beer. That is a nova scotian for ya, they don’t have a clue what a good province is.
Shut da fuck up Mayor Kelly. Ain’t nobody talkin to you no how.
tigger…since yeast & mold are both types of fungi.
Your comment is correct even if the beer is a freshly popped one !
Also FYI…Halifax is not the W H O L E Province of Nova Scotia.
enjoy Ontario…or were you just speaking about T.O. ?
So, again I ask tiger, if it’s sooooooo bad and such a shit province, then what in the blue fuck are you doing here? Obviously there must be SOMETHING, some aspect, that’s more appealing or advantageous to you here then back in the Centre of the Universe for you to be here. So what is it? Enlighten us. What brought you here and why the hell are you STILL here if ONT is “better in all ways” to NS?

Hey! Cape Bretoners have to drive AT LEAST three hours to get to a Starbucks.
