GradLink has an extensive network of international graduates, including graduates from Canada, who have studied at universities in the UK and are now in graduate employment. This section includes a number of unique case study examples of these. Graduates speak about how their UK education has helped them to get into their work, and what strategies they have used for reaching employers and showing they are the right candidate. We are very grateful for their invaluable input.
As a first priority, look to see if any of your UK Universities alumni live in the Canadian city you′re job hunting in. Next, send messages to people who work at the companies you′re interested in. You may also want to attend trade fairs - the entry fee is well worth it.
To become a career academic, a writer/researcher and professor, you must be an avid reader -- especially in the field that interests you, but you should also be generally well read.
I was involved in the Students′ Union throughout my time at university and I think my experiences there really helped me to get this job.
Keep an open mind when looking for jobs in Canada. There are many types of businesses - small, start-up, corporate, government, non-profit, etc. - so put yourself out there for various opportunities.
Look for project managers at companies and ask to have an informational interview. This is a much more effective way of getting your foot in the door than simply sending your resume to HR departments.
