Thanks Becca! I look forward to hearing from you. :)
Hi Angela, congrats on your teams growth! I will be applying in the next day or two. Thanks for the opportunity!
Thank you, Erica – I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
How exciting! Just applied. :] It’s my dream job.
Thank you for applying, Tracy! :)

So excited to see this opportunity come across! Would love to support you and will send in the application shortly!
I look forward to hearing from you, Chrissy! :)
Just emailed you! <3
Ah, yes! I saw this post on your Instagram, and am definitely going to apply. I absolutely adore everything about Oh She Glows and am so grateful for you guys. Without your recipes, I think it would be much harder to be vegan (AND to keep my fiancé a happy vegan too). Congrats on the new cookbook and growth!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Alyssa! I look forward to hearing from you. :)
Can high school/college students apply? I have much experience in this field.
How will we know what it is your doing vs someone else pretending to be you? Are ur Facebook posts you writing it? Or is it someone you hired? Part of what I love about your site is the connection you feel with the person behind the words. When it’s someone pretending to be you that is responding to comments and putting up posts, that connection isn’t there? What are u delegating to other people and what are you retaining responsibility for?
Congrats on this step! Best of luck – I’m sure you’ll have a lot of interest!
Definitely not qualified for this position, but please let me know when you’re hiring for a “taste all of Angela’s new recipe” specialist and I will surely apply. I have references.
Hahaha — duly noted! ;)
If there are two positions for a taster I’m going to apply with Tiffany27!
Hi Angela,
This is amazing news! Congratulations! I am so excited to say I have been following you for years and your blog has inspired me to start my own blog. I would be honored if you checked it out and if you had any feedback I would love to hear it! You are such an inspiration to me.
https://youngrestlessblog.wordpress.com/
Sincerely
Hannah
Thanks so much for the kind words, Hannah. I’ll have to check your blog out sometime! Good luck with everything. :)
Hi, This is so exciting, congrats on all of your success!
I am most definitely going to be applying.
A note… the date says July 27, 2015 I am hoping this is a typo since I would love to be a part of your team and continued growth.
Love & Light,
Korri
Thanks so much for pointing that out, Korri! Haha–halfway through 2016 and I’m still getting used to the fact we’re in a new year. ;)
Oh Angela… I am so happy to hear about your growth. I have been with you since the beginning and you have inspired me in so many ways. I don’t think I’d be able to do this role in particular but I would give anything to be a part of this inspiring journey. Please keep us posted if you have any other openings – and it’s also pretty amazing that you posted to your blog. Thank you for all that you’ve done for me, for us.
Thanks so much for the sweet words, Erin! If we decide to expand our team even further in the future, I’ll be sure to post the listing to the blog and let you all know. :)
Awesome! You’ve been a great inspiration for our family in our plant-based journey. Those veggie burgers with the sunflower seeds…the best!
I have zero qualifications and will definitely not be applying! Just wanted to say that having a newborn and toddler, it will be a relief for you and Eric to have the details taken care of by a social media staffer so you can put all you want to into your family and focus on the personal parts of your blog that we readers all love so much.
My husband always says to take care of the golden goose…it isn’t always easy to let go and give details to someone else, but you will need your rest and your time! You’ll be able to give even more to your followers and follow your dreams for your business. :)
This is so great, Angela. Congrats and thank you for sharing :) I will definitely apply! In the meantime, you can check out my new healthy lifestyle and food blog: Your Whole You
That’s so awesome to see how Oh She Glows keeps growing and growing! I am definitely going to apply! I would welcome such an amazing opportunity to be part of a powerful team in health and nutrition :) All the best on your continued success!
Thanks for the kind words, Brandy! I’m looking forward to receiving your application.
Angela!
I received this wonderful opportunity and will be applying today! Congratulations on your continued growth!
Beth
Thanks, Beth! I look forward to hearing from you.
Truly though, what an inspiration it would be to work for you! This position is me to a T!! Resume on it’s way :)
-Kaili
Aw, thanks you. I look forward to receiving it, Kaili!
So excited for the opportunity to apply for this amazing position! I will be working on my resumel and get it to you in the next couple of days! I really hope it’s a typo above and I have until July 27th 2016 not 2015 :) Have a great day and thank you for your amazing cookbook and blog!
Hey Jen, thanks! I look forward to receiving your application. (And yes… I briefly time travelled, there! heh)
Man, so bummed I missed the cut! I wrote down the 29th! I will definitely keep my eyes peeled for the next opportunity…hopefully soon!
This is an incredible opportunity! I’m going to send my resume off right away! :)

I look forward to hearing from you, Eryn!
Can I pretend to be qualified? hihihi :)
Congrats on your growth and I’m happy you’re letting yourself have more time for yourself and your family! <3
Thanks, Carolina! :)
Hi Angela,
This sounds so awesome! I just applied and hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks, Skylar! I look forward to your application. :)
I’m starting a hashtag to nominate a hard working Ottawa vegan for this position #ohpamelaglows You need to consider her for this position!
Angela,
I’m assuming this is a FT position. Sadly. I love where I’m working and it fits my personal work-life schedule. Do you offer part time initiatives? I am a pro vegan going on five years, an avid cook and baker. As a male, I feel that I am in a minority as a vegan. Manliness and what it is to be a man is often being redefined; there is a surge of male body builders and athletes coming up as well as the “common” man. Online and in print presence is something we need to improve.
Continued successes in everything you do. I previously worked Indigo as a store manager and your books flew off the shelf. I would also throw in mention of your blog, people love the multi media options you offer!
Hi Terry, Thanks for your kind words! The Social Media Specialist position will be part-time to start (around 15 hours per week), with the potential to develop into a full-time role. If any other part-time initiatives come up in the future, we’ll definitely post the news here! So keep your eyes peeled.
This is so exciting! Congrats on your continued success!!
I just applied! Please keep an eye out for my email…I would bring a decade of social media experience and be oh so thrilled to be a part of the team :)
Thanks for your application, Heather! I look forward to reviewing it. :)
Great opportunity.
Are you accepting applications from U.S Citizens?
Hi Heather, thanks for the question! Yes, we are; applicants don’t have to be Canadian.
This is such an amazing opportunity and would be my dream job! I have just applied. It would be such an honour to become a member of the Oh She Glows team!
Thanks for your application, Sarah!
So exciting — both the opportunity and the huge growth of the brand! Writing you an email as we speak :)
Thanks, Hannah! I look forward to hearing from you.
So excited about this opportunity to work for my absolute favorite blog! Just applied, and can’t wait to hear back from you, Angela! Congratulations on the blog’s continued growth as well :)
-Jessie
Thanks, Jessie! We look forward to reviewing your application.
Just sent an email today!I absolutely adore your cookbook and blog which inspired me to live the vegan plant-based lifestyle and would love to join the Oh She Glows team! I look forward to hearing from you soon:)
Thank you for your application, Caitlin! :)
So excited for your growth, Angela! Keep up the great work. I have a few years of professional experience in this realm. I just applied and am looking forward to the potential to hear more about this position and how we could make a great team :)
Kylee
Thanks, Kylee! :) I’m looking forward to receiving your application.
My pleasure! Just wanted to confirm you received my application since I sent it in via email on the 26th and in your comment on the 27th you mentioned you were looking forward to receiving it.
Thanks!
Hi Kylee — yes, it arrived safely!
I am so glad that today is the last day for applicant submissions –
one step closer to hearing from you and the interview process :)
I am looking forward to hopefully hearing from you soon!
I absolutely love following you and your blog, and I hope that I can serve you with my talents.
Thanks, Samantha! Looking forward to reviewing your application. :)
So exciting! Just applied :)
Thanks, Katey–we look forward to receiving your application!
So thrilled for you (and for me because I applied). ;) Thanks to Angela for adding so much excitement to all of our summers by coming up with this position!

The above is a pictorial representation of me doing cartwheels…I fell in the middle, but it’s ok, no injuries, and I got back up again (and even got out my pom-poms at the end)! :)
Haha, too funny, Loralee! Thanks for your application, I look forward to reviewing it! :)
If only I were not going back to school in September (#Rd2Be) and a bit more experienced (Though I love photography, food & blogging)…And to think I am only a city away! If you ever need a volunteer, I would be honoured to help you (even if I get put on babysitting duties). I have always admired your blog (reading it from start to finish, even if I began reading it a year or two after you first started) and have waited for you to “open up” a taste-tester role. Best of luck with Book (and Baby) #2. Please keep my name in mind if you’re looking for a volunteer nutrition student. I’d be happy to send along some of my “rough work” (I am taking a University Food Writing Course next year for fun) including basic blog posts and food photos (insta: @mollyschoo or @nourish.2.flourish). I don’t have a blog of my own anymore though, as I am a bit too busy juggling life as a Don/RA, Dietary Aide, University Dietetic Student and Auntie. This being said, I can certainly find time to volunteer with you if you find a position suitable.
This job would fit me perfectly but I didn’t find out about it until today. I would love to send in an application if you ever have a similar job that comes up!! You inspire me so much Angela, your recipe book and blog has helped me so much on my journey towards being vegan (even though I’m not quite there yet)!
For those who have applied, when do you plan on reaching out to schedule interviews? If they have not been contacted by ______ ,should they assume you’ve moved on to other candidates? Thank you!
Aw shucks, I wish I knew about this when it came out. As a Northern Ontario PR graduate, this sounds awesome!
Just wondering if you have already completed the interview process? I did apply for this position and I just want to know if it has already been filled. Thanks!
Hey Priyanka, Thanks so much for your interest in the position! Due to the large volume of applications, the hiring process is taking longer than expected and is still underway!
Hi Angela,
Are you still reviewing applications? If so, I would love to apply. I am a Comms/ PR professional with a decade of experience, but am looking for a work from home job so I can be home more for my two toddlers.
Is it too late to apply?
Warmly,
Devon
Hey! Are you still hiring for this position?
Hi Abigail, Thanks for your inquiry! We’re no longer accepting new applications for this position, but if any new opportunities open up, I’ll be sure to update you all on the blog. :)
Hi Angela, Do you hire summer interns? I am a nutrition major with a passion for plant-based diets and would love the opportunity to intern with Oh She Glows. Please let me know if you are currently accepting applications.
Best,
Devon
Hi Devon, Thank you for your interest! I’m not planning on hiring at the moment, but if I do I will certainly make an announcement about it. :)
