Everybody knows that Montreal is a bilingual city. In fact, we're quite proud of it. But sometimes us anglophones have a bit of a tougher time finding work, which is why we always end up searching "English-speaking jobs in Montreal" on Google.
While some English-speakers speak French pretty well, others have a more basic understanding of the language. Without being fluent or have a high degree of proficiency, your options may be limited.
For those that grew up here and had a hard time with tenses and conjugations, or for those like me that are new to the city and are also trying to pratiquent lefrancais, it may feel downright frustrating when you start applying for jobs.
But don't give up hope. There are definitely jobs for English-speakers. Some jobs even requireย it.
And because the Montreal market is a leader in a wide range of industries, chances are you'll find something in your related field.
So touch up that resume and get your interview face ready because we've gone ahead and found some English-speaking jobs that are hiring right now.
