Salon de l’emploi et de la formation continue

Before the fair

• Use a Canadian-format resume: no photo, no date of birth, and results written as short bullet points.
• Check the official page for the list of employers attending, then pick 3 to 5 you most want to meet.
• Prepare a short way to explain your international experience in terms Canadian employers recognize, such as team size, budgets or results.
• Check which day each employer attends. Events over several days often change their employer list from one day to the next.
• Bring a resume in French or in both languages, and practise your introduction in French.
• Know your work authorization status and how to describe it clearly, for example open work permit or permanent resident.
• Practise a 30-second introduction: who you are, what you do well and the kind of role you want next.
• Update your resume so the top third shows the roles and skills you want to talk about at this fair.
