TikTok Is Hiring A Bunch Of Positions In Toronto RN & Some Require Little Experience
You can make bank off TikTok without going viral.
TikTok is hiring a bunch of positions in Toronto right now and you don't have to be a full-fledged expert to apply.
The social media giant is currently looking to add several members to its team, including a couple of lucrative intern positions which don't require industry experience.
The accessible job openings, which are listed as Sales Intern, Strategy Intern and Strategy MBA Intern, only require applicants to be studying in a related field, making them a great opportunity for students trying to get their foot in the door.
"Internships at TikTok aim to provide students the chance to work with our clients and teams to address key business problems and identify areas of growth for the company. With your education and experience, you will be able to take on real-world challenges from day one," an excerpt from the listing reads.
The deadline for submissions is slated for February 2022 with candidates allowed to apply to a maximum of two positions.
However, if you do have some experience under your belt, there are tons of other TikTok positions to choose from.
Roles like Media Partnership Lead, Strategy & Project Lead, Industry Lead Role and more are all up for grabs.

'The Crown' Star Josh O'Connor Had No Idea WTF A TikTok Was During TIFF Interview (VIDEO)
"I don't know what that is, I'd be rubbish, sorry."
The Crown star Josh O'Connor appeared to be more than a little confused after being asked to do a TikTok video during an interview at TIFF.
The British actor, who is best known for portraying a young Prince Charles, hilariously dodged a request to appear on the video-sharing platform after revealing he had no idea what it was.

"What is a TikTok? I don't know what that is, I'd be rubbish, sorry," the star said while awkwardly laughing and walking away.
The 31-year-old didn't seem to be too embarrassed by the moment though, later sharing the video to his own Twitter account.
O'Connor is in Toronto promoting the film Mothering Sunday, a period-piece drama about a couple's secret affair in post-WWI England.

Toronto's ICE Condos Replies To Viral TikTok That Shows Hectic Living Conditions (VIDEO)
The videos show gunshots, weekend fire alarms, broken down elevators and more.
ICE Condominiums, home to many Toronto residents and scandals, is back in the news once again.
Former resident Kylene Loucks posted part one of her living-in-ICE-Condos TikTok series on July 18, alleging issues such as habitual weekend fire alarms, broken down trash shutes, stray bullets fired in units and the lobby, and out of order elevators. All while paying $2,600 a month in rent.

She posted part two of the series, which depicted visits from the police's Explosive Disposal Unit, police dogs and emergency task force and mentioned shootings, crime scenes, and even showed what appeared to be a bullet hole in a panel of glass one month later on August 26.
ICE Condominiums responded to the viral TikTok video in a statement on September 2. "With respect to a TikTok video and comments circulating, ICE Condominiums disagrees with many of the comments made. We hope any viewers will find that the information provided below demonstrates the inaccurate and outdated nature of these comments."
The statement went on to address concerns mentioned in the TikTok videos and clarified that "currently, all 16 elevators are running," and that "although an elevator outage may sometimes last a few weeks if a part is on-order or if a detailed safety inspection is required, there have only been eight incidents in the past six months when an elevator was down for longer than two days."

Loucks, 27, told Narcity in a statement that she moved into her unit at 12 York St. in July 2020.
She said no one warned her about the condo's reputation and that although she and her roommate viewed three to four other buildings, her realtor "really sold the Ice Condos," and she ended up signing a lease she would come to regret.
In the next year of living there, Louks says she and her roommate were often harassed by Airbnb guests, which she says there were more of than actual residents in the building, and dealt with poor living conditions in terms of COVID-19 safety, cleanliness, crime, and functionality of elevators, amenities and garbage shutes.
Despite safety concerns and a hefty monthly rent, Loucks claims that she couldn't get out of her lease.
"So then it became a countdown until we could escape. We stayed inside the apartment as much as we could, and on the advice of the security guards, avoided groups of 4-5 people in hallways and lobbies."
Louks says their lease was up at the end of June. However, she estimates she and her roommate moved out about two months prior and respectively lived with their partners or families while still paying rent.
"I waited to share the video until I was moved out of the unit and safely away from there. I decided to share it because I'm hopeful that people in the GTA will see it and not make the same mistake we did by not researching the building before signing a lease. Or possibly, that potential Airbnb guests see the video and decide not to book there."

2 TikTok Videos Are Calling Out The ‘Insanely Expensive’ Food Prices Across Canada
Prepare for some serious sticker shock.
It's likely that at some point we've all experienced a case of sticker shock while out grocery shopping, but now a pair of TikTok videos are shedding some light on just how different food prices are across Canada.
Inuuk TikTokers @shinanova and @arcticmakeup, are using their platforms to point out some very startling differences in common grocery items throughout the country.
In her viral video, Shina Nova scrolled through the prices of common grocery items in Nunavik and Nunavut.
Things like a pack of strawberries are seen priced at $14.39, while a jar of peanut butter is $11.19. The most shocking, though, is a pack of grapes that is being sold for $28.19.
In her video, Ky Flaherty went beyond just the incredibly high food prices in Nunavut, to showcase the cost of some common household items.

In the video, a box of Kirkland brand diapers is seen in Nunavut for $53.79, when it typically costs around $37.00 in most parts of the country on Costco's website.
According to the most recent food price survey conducted by Statistics Canada in 2018, you can see a stark price difference between food products in Nunavut compared to Ottawa.
For example, a loaf of white bread cost $7.15 in Nunavut at the time and $4.62 in Ottawa.
At the time of the survey, a 1kg jar of peanut butter was priced at $9.87 in Nunavut compared to $2.99 in Ottawa.
Flaherty has posted several videos on her social media before, continuing to highlight the high food price disparity across Canada.
