Marketing yourself effectively in the language and style that employers understand is often the key to a successful job search.
If you are an international job seeker looking to work in Canada, what follows are some job hunting tips:
- Submit your resume and cover letter in English and use an English spell-check. Do some research to learn the correct English terminologies for your profession.
- “Canadianize” your resume. There are helpful websites that show examples of resumes in North American style.
- Work experience is important — be sure to include any experience that is related to the job you are applying for — do not forget the summer and part-time experience you have had.
- Let the employer know in your cover letter if you have a Working Holiday Visa (“PVT”) or other applicable work permits, or if you are eligible to apply for one. This will let them know that you will be legally able to work here.
