Your Educational Institution
The majority of educational institutions offer their students and young graduates employment assistance services. Why not give it a try? Here are some examples:
- McGill University’s Career Planning Services

Online Presence
92 % of recruiters use social networks to evaluate applications. That’s why it’s important to be active online, especially on LinkedIn. A professional-looking photo, an up-to-date profile and an inviting biography will get you further than you may think.
Networking
A significant proportion of jobs will be filled without an offer ever being published, hence the importance of developing your network of contacts. Get involved in professional associations or participate in networking events (in French only) to get to know other people and to get yourself out there.
