Anyone who has ever spent time job hunting — so, most of us — knows that it can sometimes be the worst thing ever. Even in the current climate, which experts say is a worker’s market with plenty of jobs but not enough workers, finding the right workplace can be tough.

Well, for all the job seekers out there, we have some exciting news: Best Buy Canada is currently hiring for various HQ positions (bonus: most of the roles are remote-first).
