Meeting people, using online job websites, and working with employment agencies are all techniques to help you be successful in finding a job in Canada. 

 

LinkedIn is an example of a tool you can use to meet people and find job opportunities. A good LinkedIn profile lets you showcase your skills, connect with people in your field or chosen profession, and get noticed by recruiters and hiring managers. By having a strong professional presence online, you can greatly improve your chances of getting the job you want.

A Canadian-style resume is a short document that you can customize to showcase important skills and achievements. It should include clear and organized information that matches job descriptions. It does not list all your past experience. 

 

Canadian resumes do not include personal information like photos, age, or marital status.  It is important to customize your resume for each job to make sure the employer notices you. 

 

Use the available templates and resources to create a professional resume that fits Canadian standards.

An interview is a conversation between a jobseeker and a potential employer. In Canada, interviews can be over the phone, through video calls, or in person.
