19 remote roles + 2 hiring fairs 🍁
Inside: The 2026 Talent Bank is OPEN, the truth about the "cautious" job market, and a lamb recipe you'll love.🫱🏼🫲🏼🐑
Happy Monday!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a lovely Valentine’s day for those who celebrated! My husband and I had a wonderful couples massage followed by a cozy meal at home - after almost a decade together, I’m so grateful for self-care experiences and not the theatrics (getting dolled up, flowers, dinner at a packed restaurant). 🤣
🥳A little milestone I want to share is that the newsletter has received over 200 new subscribers over the weekend! Welcome new readers to our community, and that means I am tasked with grinding and hustling harder to find more relevant opportunities to share with you.
P.S. you can always reply to this email and I will reply back! 💌
🎁A gift to celebrate this milestone🎁:
The 2026 Talent Bank is officially OPEN
My goal is to bridge the gap between this community and the founders I talk to every week. If you want me to pitch you directly for roles, join the talent database here. It’s private, redacted, and puts you in front of hiring managers and recruiters.
🚨Reference the WFH MAMA Mail newsletter in your job application to help me present more remote roles and opportunities in front of you!
🔦Jobs of the day from the WFH MAMA JOB BOARD:
🧘🏻♂️Manifestation Prompt of the Day: Close your eyes for 30 seconds and feel the exact emotion you will have when you sign that offer letter today. Hold that feeling. It’s yours.
⏲️Set and forget recipe: Braised Lamb shoulder with cumin spice (AKA my fave spice of all time!!) try it this week!
💡2026 is off to a rocky start for the Canadian job market, and honestly, the “vibes” are cautious. With interest rate uncertainty and shifting trade policies, nearly a quarter of hiring managers are hitting the brakes on expansion. We’re seeing a “low hire, low fire” dynamic where companies are holding onto their current teams but being incredibly picky about new additions.
If you’re feeling like the search is harder than last year, you aren’t imagining it—data shows that while full-time roles are still the goal, many employers are leaning into contract work to keep their overhead flexible.
🔎 TLDR: Canadian hiring managers are entering 2026 with a “wait-and-see” approach due to economic uncertainty, making the market tighter for full-time seekers.
💡 Taking a long break to raise a family or care for a loved one shouldn't be a career death sentence, but the "re-entry" struggle is real. The latest HBR case study follows a marketing pro returning after a decade away, highlighting a growing trend: "Returnships." Instead of trying to jump back into a high-pressure role with 2016-era skills, many are using these structured internships for adults to bridge the gap. Whether it’s a mission-driven startup or a corporate relaunch program, the secret is to own your gap as a period of growth—not a period of "missing" time—and focus on mastering the 2026 tech stack before your first interview.
🔎 TLDR: "Returnships" and adult internships are becoming the ultimate "side door" for professionals re-entering the workforce after long career breaks.
