Job Searching Strategies for Refugees & Newcomers

Searching for work in a new country can sometimes feel like a fruitless endeavor. Sending out hundreds of generic applications rarely produces results in Canada’s modern hiring landscape. This interactive session flips the script, teaching you how to transition from basic job hunting to smarter job searching. You will learn high-impact strategies to target the right opportunities, bypass online application filters, and learn where to find the right career for you.

Why Putting Thought Into Your Career Strategy Outperforms Traditional Job Hunting

Traditionally, you could just hand in a resume in person, that person would read over your resume, and you had a good chance of landing that role. In today’s modern age, with the advent of AI, newcomers need a much more informed and intentional approach to job hunting in order to simply get through the door.

By focusing on quality outreach and strategic positioning, you can cut your job search time in half and stand out to hiring managers.
