Conducting successful job search in Canada requires several steps. First, you should look for an employment agent like Access Employment to do a course. The goal of this course is to be a bridge between previous work in your country and potential work in Canada. You will learn many things about Canadian Employment Standards and Canadian Workplace Culture, as well as how to write a resume, cover letter, how to search for a job, and how to connect employers directly. The next step is to check for job postings on Internet sites like LinkedIn, Indeed, and www.jobbank.gc.ca. Before you start applying, you should polish your resume. Ensure that it is concise, error-free, and does not exceed two pages in length. After that, put together a winning cover letter. Also, look on the internet for employment events like job fairs to meet directly with employers and owners of companies. To find a job faster, you should align your resume to the job description and requirements. Remember, if you do not find a job, it’s better to go to an employment agency or look for volunteering opportunities if you need Canadian experience. Sometimes the same company that you volunteer with gives you a job offer. Finally, apply for several jobs, as there can be hundreds of applications for a single position, and prepare well for an interview. It’s good to read about the company and the kind of work they do. This will help you speak about the company and why you are interested in working there. In conclusion, if you are prepared and you apply above job search strategies, you will find a job in Canada. Good luck!
