Supporting You in Your Job Search

You were not born with job search skills pre-programmed into your mind. Like any other skill set, effective job search is learned. We have the benefit of getting the employer perspective, given that we provide employers service and pay attention to what they need. Reap the benefits of our wide array of job search support services.

Students can use our job search resources to help create professional resume and cover letters. In addition, we are glad to look at your resume and covering letters, to provide helpful feedback and suggestions. This will ensure that, when you are contacting employers in writing, you are making the best possible impression. Given that your resume is you on paper, you can't afford not to take advantage of this opportunity!

Interviews can be a pretty intense and nerve racking experience. When preparing for interviews, our students are able to access helpful tips on how to put their best foot forward. For those who would like to walk through the process, we offer one-on-one "mock" interviews. Students tell us that the feedback they get after the "mock" interview is very helpful, not only to understand how they would come across to the interviewer, but also helps them to know what to expect in the all-important real interview.

Want a list of career/work related sites? As part of our role, we keep informed of helpful online job search resources. One of our favourites is Workinfonet, a government funded site that functions like a "web library", linking you to all kinds of work, job search and career related information.
