Interviews are your chance to show employers who you are, that means your skills, your experience, and what makes you a strong candidate. But interview expectations can vary significantly from country to country, and what works in one job market may not translate directly to another. This free webinar from Jumpstart Refugee Talent will help you understand what Canadian employers are looking for, and give you the chance to practice in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

Why Interview Preparation Matters for Newcomers

Canadian job interviews often follow different norms than what newcomers may be used to from the types of questions asked, to how candidates are expected to talk about their own achievements, to what “professionalism” looks like in practice. Without this context, even highly qualified candidates can struggle to make a strong impression. This session is designed to close that gap and land that the role that jumpstarts your career in Canada.

What You’ll Learn

This hands on workshop will help you:

Understand Canadian employer expectations, what interviewers are really evaluating, beyond just your answers.
Practice common interview questions including behavioural and situational questions frequently used in Canadian hiring.
Learn how to talk about your skills and experience confidently.
Practice in a supportive environment that will help you to build confidence before a real interview, with feedback and support.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is ideal for newcomers and refugees preparing to enter or re-enter the Canadian job market, especially those with upcoming interviews or who want to build interview confidence ahead of their job search.
