Flight Catering Job in CANADA

1. Your Resume (or ‘CV’)

Ensure you have carefully read our Resume Format in Canada section before sending your resume to employers. Poorly written resumes will hinder you from making an impact. Read these tips carefully, ensure you understand the objective, and apply these simple concepts to help your resume impress an employer. Your resume is the all-important first impression, so don’t fall short at this crucial first step when applying for jobs in Canada.

When you’re called for an interview, prepare using our article on the 57 interview questions you could be asked. If you’d like a professional to review your resume and point out where it could be improved, consider our Resume Evaluation service.

2. Be selective

In many professions, responding to ads in the paper and over the internet are the least effective ways to find jobs in Canada. Be selective in your job search. Do not blanket bomb 30 companies with the same resume and cover letter, as managers in companies talk. This is a common mistake that people make. Networking, cold calling, and informational interviews are much more effective ways to distribute your resume.

Imagine you are a HR hiring manager working for Tata Consultancy Services in Delhi. You have a job available and you receive 20 resumes. 19 are from HR professionals with great experience and fit the requirements, and they all live in Delhi. One is from a HR professional with great experience and fits the requirements, and she lives in Canada. Would you hire the Canadian?

Please don’t waste your time applying for jobs on the online boards. Your resume is either not being looked at all, or is being tossed aside. Unless your skills on paper are so rare and exceptional and no one else living in Canada applying for the same job has it, you have no chance of securing a job in Canada this way.

When I was job interviewing, one question that was always asked at the interview “Are you legally allowed to work in Canada?” The answer is “Yes” only if:

1. You are a citizen
2. You are a permanent resident
3. You have an open work permit

If you are living in India, you are neither of these things. You are legally not allowed to work in Canada!

Cities with the most jobs in Canada include Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver. An interest in a finance career will most likely take you to Toronto, oil and gas experience will lead you to Calgary, Montreal is great for those with a French-speaking background and Vancouver is for those who believe in eco-friendly industries. Of course there are many other vibrant cities you can choose to work, stay or play in. A little research might be required to find out which is best for you.

 

While this method may secure you many interview opportunities, these will mostly be with entry level companies where you will have to start at the beginning and reform your career. Also, there is no guarantee that you will have the job once you move to Canada unless the employer explicitly states that to be the case. I personally would not recommend this path but it can work if you are willing to take risks and sacrifice your status.
