I see posts on here almost every day from students and local residents saying they have handed out hundreds of resumes across London and can't even get a callback for entry-level retail or food service work.
To help anyone still hunting for a job, I was browsing the official Government of Canada Job Bank for the London region and noticed that several local Dairy Queen locations appear to be actively expanding their teams right now, with multiple supervisor and manager openings listed alongside several counter positions.
Here are the active listings straight from the federal Job Bank so local Londoners can check them out:

Tips for Applying:
Apply Directly Through Job Bank Plus:
If you want to make sure your application goes straight through the system, use the official "Direct Apply" feature on the federal Job Bank portal rather than just dropping by or using third-party boards.
High-Paying Openings:
Notice that the $37.00/hr ($67,340–$76,960/yr) Manager roles require a high school diploma and 1 to 2 years of food/supervisory experience. If you have ever worked as a shift lead or keyholder at a restaurant, coffee shop, or retail spot in London, you match the listed criteria.
Hopefully, this helps connect a few unemployed Londoners with these openings. Good luck out there!
