I need a resume, what should I do?
Your resume is an essential tool in helping you land an interview.  When you are competing with others on a piece of paper for the same position your resume needs to be professional and well done. In order to ensure that you are on the right track to finding work, our Job Search Coaching Team at the Skills for Change Employment Resource Centre recommends the following:

If you have a resume or cover letter prepared:

  • Bring your typed resume and cover letter (paper version and electronic copy) to our office after scheduling an appointment.  Our Coaching Team will review your work search documents and offer valuable advice.

I have an upcoming interview, what should I do?
Preparation is key to succeeding at the interview stage.  Our Coaching Team often recommends reviewing reference books and videos available at our Centre as well as signing up for a Mock Interview - a highly effective, in demand service, proven to be a successful tool for our job seekers. 

Sign up for a Mock Interview
We will develop a customized Mock Interview based on the actual position, company or industry you are targeting.  Learn what types of questions to expect, how to respond to tough questions, and how to present yourself confidently using positive body language. You will be able to rehearse for the actual interview under the guidance of a professional. We will videotape your practice session and give you feedback as we review your interview. 

Book in advance at the Reception Desk by handing in a copy of your Cover Letter, the Job Advertisement for which you are applying and Resume.  One of our Coaches will contact you to set up a mutually convenient date and time for the Mock Interview.
