British Columbia, Alberta, and Sakatchewan Jobs | How to Get a Job with Girls of Glam

As the school year wraps up, students scramble to find those summer jobs that will give them some income, and experience. With the amount of students looking for part-time jobs for the summer the competition can get really rough. Girls of Glam is a great option to look to when searching for extra money on the side AND new experience.

Right now we have a big demand for jobs coming up this summer. Especially in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. If you are a student, or someone looking for part-time jobs, GOG can cater to you!

We offer many types of positions from liqour sampling, corporate brand ambassadors, and trade show events. All the jobs we hire for are social, fun, and professional which means you gain work experience while networking!



Here are some tips for getting hired with GOG, and ways you get your name at the top of the list when requesting one of our job opportunities

1. Your resume needs to stand out. We hire for so many different jobs that it's important to list all of your professional AND special skills. Are you a gymnast? Have you done acting classes? Have you served or bartended before? The little qualities for other jobs or big qualities for us. So make sure you tailor your resume for us!

2. We need 3 photos. Some jobs require professional pictures, but some don't. You don't have to go out and hire a professional photographer and do a full on glamour shoot. But whatever photos you do submit, please make sure they are work appropriate. Remember you are applying for a position with us. Check out our Facebook page and see some of the professional photos we have posted. Those are appropriate. If you don't have professional photos, use your top 3 profile pictures, and ensure at least one includes a full body shot.

3. Get certified for serving alcohol. Not having your certification doesn't mean you won't get hired, but it will limit the job opportunities you can request to work at. Remember that. We get a lot of partnerships within the liquor industry so it's a really important certification to have.

4. Prove to us that you can be polished, social, and professional when on the job. A lot of times girls apply with us and don't take the hiring process seriously. You need to remember that we are hiring you to represent another brand but also the GOG brand...at the same time. We have to be able to trust that you can represent both sides professionally.

We are looking forward to a great summer stacked with lots of job opportunities to offer! Now is the time to put in YOUR resume and get some amazing experience to add to you professional resume!

Getting Certified for Serving Alcohol More Jobs

Girls of Glam are extremely active in the alcohol / sampling industry. It is probably where we are most heavily relied upon. We encourage GOG staff to be certified for serving alcohol in all areas of Canada so they can have the opportunity to apply for more jobs.

What are the benefits of getting certified

  • More jobs. Plain and simple. As stated above we get a lot of jobs that involve alcohol, and clients need our staff to be properly educated and certified. Without it, you won't get chosen for the job
  • By getting certified you also get educated on serving alochol. You will learn how much to serve, and when to stop. When you serve alcohol you are a liability and it's important to protect yourself.
  • We want the Girls of Glam brand represented well - and the more staff we have certified the more reputable we are as a brand which means we can get more jobs for our staff.
  • More staff to choose from. Our mantra is that we can vouch for the variety of experiences we have within our roster. The more staff we have that are certified means the client has more to choose from and can narrow down the experiences they need. Having everyone certified means no one misses out on a job opportunity because they don't have the certification.


If you are part of the GOG roster and you are not certified yet - here are a list of places to get your certification in your province:


At Girls of Glam we know that our staff are there to expand their skills and gain experiences. A certification within Girls of Glam does not just stay within our circle but it also allows you to take that experience and certification with you to other opportunities. Girls of Glam is an amazing place to gain experiences and skill sets to help you find your career.

Taking the test is quite simple and takes little time out of your busy and hectic schedule. It's at a low cost which means it is affordable and can even pay its self off in one shift working with GOG!

Who is The CEO of GOG | A Q&A Featured on The Star Business Club

You hear a lot about the fabulous talent that works for us, but you don't hear about the foundation of the agency. Our CEO Jennifer Hing hides humbly behind the staff who make up the face of the agency. With the beautiful girls and handsome men that stack our roster, you probably wonder who started Girls of Glam.

We were very proud to have Jennifer Hing, CEO of Girls of Glam be featured in a Q&A on The Star Business Club with The Honest CEO author Johan Johnannesson. This was a really great opportunity for Girls of Glam to have the chance to showcase how our brand started...and of course put a face to the brand.



The Q&A shows the hard work that was put into the creation of a staffing brand that rapidly grew into one of North America's largest and most successful staffing agencies. A young successful female entrepreneur, Jennifer has created a name for herself in the staffing industry and has set an example for other young female's trying to make their way in the business world.




We are so excited to have a feature on our CEO. Jennifer stands behind a supreme roster of talent - all of which are chosen are screened specifically for a job. As the agency continues to grow, the GOG office team does too. We thought this article was published at a great time for GOG as we become more recognized in the industry. One of our goals is to have the GOG brand recognized more. But we also want people to know about the integrity involved in the creation of the brand, and where it came from.

A huge thank you to the Star Business Club for introducing Jennifer Hing to the community and delivering such an honest and genuine side of our driven CEO.

Girls of Glam was established by Jennifer Hing in Toronto in January 2009. Within a month, Girls of Glam had a full team of hundred plus promotional models in the Greater Toronto Area, and began to land large contracts with a variety of clients.

Deterring Team Canada From a Win? | Girls of Glam Support the Curling World Championship

Curling is not a sport that is known to be 'spiced up'. Basketball has dancers, football has cheerleaders, and hockey has an arena full of enthusiastic fans. To make sure that the Ford World Curling  championship had some supporters for Team Canada, we had our girls dress as cheerleaders to support the team and also the Bodog Brand.

Sadly enough, Team Canada did not win this year at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria B.C.. And the loss didn't help that it was a loss to Japan - a team Canada has never lost to. To smooth things over on that end, a referral was made to our Girls for causing the loss, of course being the centre of attraction. But we're not complaining, that just means we did a great job at gaining support for the team, and getting people excited about curling.



 At Girls of Glam, it is our staff's job to be social, and catch the attention of the crowd. Smiles are contageous and our girls have fantastic smiles and social skills. We had a great time supporting our country in the World Curling Championships, and connecting with the crowd. In their branded Bodog cheerleading outfits, they supported Team Canada and had a great time interacting with the crowd. You can't say curling is a dry sport now! Especially when we have gorgeous supporters like the Girls of Glam!
