Job Search The Canadian Way: What Works, What Doesn't, 2010

Job Search The Canadian Way: What Works, What Doesn't is now out!


About the Book

Job search in Canada is a full-time job, not a casual step. It is very much the same for all job seekers (new Canadians and seasoned Canadians alike). The unstated formula is: full-time search for full-time jobs, part-time search may lead you to part-time jobs, and the rest is left to your imagination. With emphasis on a full-time job search, this book shows the pathways that work and strongly recommends learning best practices. The bottom line is, if your resume doesn't "work," neither will you. Being casual is just one point to bear. More such considerations include myths, mistakes and misconceptions in job search. - Source

I actually reviewed the book a couple of months ago before it was published. You'll find my comment about the book here.

"JOB SEARCH: THE CANADIAN WAY is a must-have book for New Canadians and for those seeking to live and work in Canada. It presents a no-nonsense and practical guide to achieve every job seeker's goal - to land a job that they want and deserve."

Happy Mother's Day!

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” - Washington Irving

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there!

Mr. Zedfrey Salazar and his wonderful plan!

Mr. Zedfrey Salazar was one of my seminar attendees at Angles City a couple of years ago. He wanted to apply under Federal Skilled Worker program but due to lack of work experience, he's not eligible. He is a Registered Nurse with only few months work experience that time.



I taught him an alternative application process - How to find jobs in Canada. And just last month, he received his Canadian Visa as live-in caregiver!

He was able to find a job offer as live-in caregiver through the help of his relatives. We filed his caregiver application February 2009.

The application process wasn't smooth. The embassy required too many documents from the employer. Some of those documents were already submitted but we advise them to comply just the same.

His visa was issued last month. Processing period for live-in caregiver applications is about 12-18 months.
