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! :)

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!

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!
