Job Search Support (for International Students)
Are you an International Student who is graduating and looking for a full-time job? Or searching for part-time or summer employment while you are studying?
We offer specific support for international students and offer a number of targeted services in partnership with the Queen's University International Centre (QUIC).
We are here to help you with any questions you might have, such as:
- How do I get started with the job search?
- Will I be able to get a job if I don’t have any Canadian work experience?
- Can I use my experience from abroad and will it be helpful in my job search?
- Can I get help with my resume, cover letter, or job interview preparation?
- How do I make the most of LinkedIn?
- How do I “network” if I don’t know anyone in my field?
- Will employers hire me if I am not a Canadian Citizen or have PR status?
Our Job Search Advisor supports International Students with their job search in workshops, 1:1 appointments and drop-in advising.
