I met some new friends this week. Franco Fan Nicole Lai Johnny Chong I hate BSing and socializing. But after moving to Canada, I started to join different communities and make more new friends because everyone says this is the only way to promote yourself and find a job faster. Not gonna lie, that was so tiring. The point is: every time when people discuss job seeking in Canada, most of them who are not from the IT industry always assume it should be easier to find an IT job. And there is a big question mark in my mind. One new friend I made this week said the following: For a junior role, the companies don’t really see the differences among all candidates. So show your passion, package yourself, learn how to present yourself fluently, and practice more before being invited to an interview. Inspiring, and there is still a long journey in job seeking. #NewBeginnings #NetworkingJourney #JobSeeking #CommunityBuilding #FindingFriends #CareerAdvice #ProfessionalGrowth #LifeInCanada

Received a call from a long-time candidate turned client, our relationship has span more than a decade and she recently secured a job offer for an overseas posting. Congratulations to her!

Networking is vital for career advancement in Canada, but the real power of networking lies in building trusted professional relationships, i.e. social capital.     Immigrants who can build a strong social capital will thrive in their careers. Managers can support newcomer team members by connecting them with the right people within their own networks and supporting them in deepening professional relationships.    Check out the Career Advancement for Immigrant Professionals (CAIP) program resources to learn how you can build your social capital as an immigrant professional in Canada, or how you can support newcomer team members in building strong professional connections as a manager. https://lnkd.in/eE78Y4UB   Future Skills Centre - Centre des Compétences futures    #TRIEC #immigrants #newcomers #employers #inclusion #careeradvancement #underemployment #TRIEC #EDI

So I've been consistently applying to over 500 job applications for nearly five months now, but I've only received responses from a quarter of them. I've noticed something that may not be news to anyone, but I'd like to share it nonetheless: in Canada, finding good jobs can be exceptionally challenging. Despite meticulously tailoring my resume to align with job descriptions, entry-level positions are flooded with applicants, making it increasingly difficult to stand out. It’s evident that securing employment often demands exceptional qualifications or strong networking connections. To fellow job seekers facing similar hurdles, I extend an invitation to connect and collaborate. Let’s leverage our networks and support each other on this journey. Together, we can share valuable insights, resources, and contacts to increase our chances of success. #JobSeekers #Networking #Canada #CFBR

How to Obtain Effective Job References and find a job in Australia? Professional references play a crucial role in the job search process in Australia. According to a survey by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), approximately 92% of employers conduct background checks, which often include reference checks. 🔸 Choose the Right People: Former Supervisors or Managers: They can provide an objective, detailed account of your performance and skills. Colleagues and Team Members: They can offer insights into your teamwork and interpersonal skills. Clients or Vendors (if relevant): For client-facing roles, references from clients or vendors can be valuable, especially if you have a history of positive interactions. 🔸 Ask for Permission First: Reach Out in Advance: Contact potential references before listing them on your resume or application. Ensure they are willing to provide a positive recommendation. Provide Information: Give your references details about the job you’re applying for and the qualities you’d like them to highlight. 🔸 Maintain Positive Relationships: Keep Them Updated: Regularly update your references on your career progress and any changes. Express Gratitude: Send a thank-you note or gesture to show your appreciation for their support. How to use references effectively? How to manage reference process?

Applying for a job in a different city / state / country? This is something you MUST do. State that you are looking to move to said city / state / country so relocating isn’t an issue, and if applicable, mention your timeline for the move and relevant work rights. Whether you have this on a cover letter or ever a couple of lines at the top your cv, it will improve your chances 10 fold. Because the data space across Australia and New Zealand is extremely diverse people sometimes forget that they’re not alone in this journey when looking for work in other geographical places. So many people understand the pressures and the resilience needed to land a job somewhere new when it’s not where you currently live. Do yourself a favour to relieve a bit of that pressure and give yourself the best chance possible about getting call backs for any applications or from anyone you reach out to. 👏 Include the relevant information about your relocation aspirations 👏 #jobhunting #relocation #helptlentachieve #data
