Welcome to a lecture, how to connect with Canada employers. In this lecture, we will explore the tools that you need to use in order to connect with employers. But before you connect with employers in Canada, you need to do the following in to assess your goals to be clear what you want to accomplish. The industry or kind of employers, if you had the experience, do you do diligence with hearing about employers, the main cities are they do what the goals are? The position in the industry, your personal goals in preference to what program you want to pursue after getting hired by then if we say temporary of is going to be for permanent residency eventually. So you need to have a plan and you have to have your goals set out.

You need to have a plan, talking about the plan. If you fail to plan for immigration purposes, you plan to fail. So if you fail to plan your plan to fail is a very accurate expression because the immigration journey is something Danny planification is not asking for for a quick fix is something that is in the long term. And for that reason, the better you plan, the better you assess your opportunities. The better you get the information from this course or any other sources, the better you are prepared to start your early access programs and support. Get familiar with programs that are available for foreign workers.

Support systems from employers offer organizations in Canada, the support for foreign workers or employers in Ireland to fill the vacancies. You also need to learn about networking strategies requirements. And in this course we're going to learn some of them effective communication requirements before coming to Canada or after during Canada you need to focus on communication second, Language English or French need to pursue continual improvement because the more you improve the your language communication, the better chances you have for better opportunities when it comes to jobs. How do you establish contact with an employer? The different ways to do is number one through network people you know through Facebook groups or LinkedIn groups or industry organizations, tweeters, internet friends, family, you need to establish your network, especially of those employers in Canada, following employers page in Facebook or LinkedIn, making some comments getting some content knowing people, so you need to really network way before you contact Canada.

Although you can establish contact with an employer is through phone calls, or online chat or Skype now is technology is easy to talk over the internet. to any employer, of course, if you need to follow the right step to contact them and then if the employer or person in charge to do hiring for that company in Canada wants to talk to you, then you have to give it some choices. Phone calls will be good where the cheapest way a more effective way cost effective way for the employer and for you probably online chat. In some cases guy can be very more economic. And there are other applications that you can use, like messenger or any type of online conferencing. Okay.

Glinting Of course linting is one of the main contracts for to find recruiters, employers or workers that work in the company and that might introduce you to establish contact with employer and hiring managers of course, in person through events, the events can be in Canada can be outside of Canada. Sometimes organizations that plan from the government or From embassies to town, so kind of forums, when employers in Canada traveled to a specific country like in France, and they interview and talk to potential immigrants that want to come to Canada and work. So that's a choice, you can monitor through the websites of the Government of Canada, and also private institutions that also that prepare that kind of activities as well. So you have the choice to do in person through events, built for events. Also, you can do it through the comfort of your home. through your computer, you can participate in virtual events.

And in our group of people that follow our groping our page and information that we send, we normally chair those kind of events that can be at the provincial level. They can be specific institutions that help on that. They can be sermon services, that prepare the kind of will play events but they are available online and module and about then you can subscribe, register and then participate in those events. Of course you need to go ready with your resume your speech, what you're going to be talking. So you can impress those employers because it doesn't change the fact that you need to impress the employers to be able to secure any opportunity, employment, sermon services, also, they have a lot of activities, a good idea for you. And when you keep that in mind, just go and check their website, you can check all the services they have available for people just to learn about it.

If you're in Canada, USA, Canada, you can learn about those activities that they offer for employment and settlement services, connecting with employers in a visible labor market, who learned in the past lecture about the visible labor market and invisible one of the hidden labor market or how you connect with employers in a beautiful labor market. They will do that through outsourcing to advertise job posting Just doing research to get job market trends and news in job back then Japan can be a good source also do some research the website of the Government of Canada when it comes to job market trends, you can do it also in the website of the different provinces in Canada. They have the information. You can learn from recruiters and headhunters that are recognized and registered in Canada, but important they have to be recognized and registered in Canada. If they are legit recruiters and headhunters you will get information from them.

Checking also check the list of employers participating in immigration programs that are public. For example, the Atlantic immigration program the provinces that participate in the pilot program are posting the list of employers are participating in the program and be very helpful since these employers are already working with foreign workers. So they are cost them to recruit Foreigners, foreigners to work in Canada, and they already know the process and the steps so good choice for you to check. Now how you can connect with employers in a hidden labor market? Well, you're gonna have to start with not working is the was the number one tool you need to do some company research to learn about the company, the city where they are located, what they do, who's the main persons, their clients, their requirements, the job posts on to a total company research. So by the time you go to the interview, you can impress the employer on the stand that you do your research you know, allow the company the needs of the company, what you can bring to the to the table for them.

Call contacting and cold calls. might be another way to do it. But it has to be structure well plan call call information, interview interviews. If you can get an informational interviews when the employer understand That there is no commitment, but just an opportunity for the employer to know you. And you let the employer know that you are willing to work now you understand the requirements and any opportune future opportunity, you'll be ready. So it's very good to go through the information interviews.

They can be done online, they can be done if you're in Canada and need to follow some recommendations in the rental information into it. Where can immigrants network where immigrants can network in organized networking events we mentioned some that can be in your home country or neighbor country or if you're in Canada, visiting or studying that you can do in Canada to community agencies that work with immigrants and your commerce. That's a good source you can find a list in this course. For example, access employment the world with immigrants, specially landing Immigrants but some of the research they have a liking help you in getting information about how to assess their services, your fares, it can be your first internationally or it can be your first throw line, professional and occupational associations, if your contact associations. For example, if you are an engineer and chemical engineer, and you want to come to Canada, well, why don't you first step also will be to contact the professional association for chemical union in Canada, especially the one in the province that you want to work.

So you can have an idea of the requirements probably made some people get introduced by then and they can probably send information or you can access information through the website. But that's a way to start getting worried you feel it is a field that you want to work when you're going to conferences and other choice may people that work with people that way. workshops and seminars. Again, this will Trouble, semana can be in Canada and outside Canada and also over the internet. In the case of seminars, there will be probably webinars and community events as another way to do is if you're in Canada, you can participate in some community, especially you're visiting Canada. You visiting Canada doesn't stop you for participating some community events, so many some people, and that way you make connections right away social media.

Facebook, glinting, Twitter is a good way to network with people, especially through groups. And that way you can meet people and get interviews and they can share information about future employment opportunities in the industry. So you start participating in groups, asking questions, and that way people can start networking with you how to build your network. A warm contact is call or an email to someone you know, someone in your network to uncover employment opportunities. So that's what I call contact is. A call contact is a call or an email to someone you don't know someone not in your network to uncover employment opportunities.

These include reaching out on LinkedIn. So you need to understand that before you want you studying and working, you need to understand what is a one contract. And what is a core contract. The planning is that when you start reaching to core content, eventually with the interaction messaging as equations, participate in this group, you can start taking that person to move to becoming one contact for you. That's what you're looking for when you're networking, how to access the hidden job market, you need to engage in networking activities. You need to connect with your work contacts.

You need to build your network with cold contacts. through social media, and email, you need to conduct some company research. You need to request information for interviews, what to do in your job search. Attend formal networking functions like career fairs, conferences, Chamber of Commerce events, if you're in Canada, or we have some built wall, just a line, or they're making activities outside of Canada, from some major they do that then just follow on participate on those activities. You need to reach out to people in your network including College Alumni and LinkedIn connections. If you do some courses, or you know, some people are still there with you and are in Canada, or through LinkedIn connections, then that's another way to do it through those connections.

You need to set up informational interviews with contacts in your industry. We'll talk about that in the past. consider sending a message to friends and family in Canada letting them know about your job search. If you have Friends in Canada or you have family in Canada, you let them know that you're looking for opportunity. Maybe they can introduce you to new opportunity through their employer or their friends, employer, and you need to practice your elevator speech and we'll see what it is all about in the letters chapters, okay? You also need to contact employers of interests.

Make a list of employers in your industry that are in Canada. Reach out by visiting their office in person if you're in Canada visiting or making a cold call. Again, before making that core code up to ensure that you do all the due diligence about knowing about the company checking the job, advertisement, they have all this information okay? And send in a letter of interest. That can be a letter or email. After that, you need to follow on to the requirements of the corporate email message.

You can also subscribe to news alerts. You can follow company of interest on LinkedIn Consider subscribing to news alerts such as Google Alert for companies you like to work for. So that's also some other choices, you can do a link to get information about those companies. You also can check their website for the Globe and Mail with a newspaper in Canada, when they always publish every year Canada's best diversity employers. So employers are famous for hiring diverse employees when it comes to culture, immigrants, foreign worker newcomers, so that's a good choice also to check they also have several lists, different type of employer so you can check later on. You also can check newspapers in the cities or locations in Canada you are interested in.

Here you have the national Canadian newspaper and new size. Basically you go to the word newspapers.com. You choose the country and you have a list of all the major publications and you can access those publications and check for job opportunities or employers through those publications online. So another source to take a look at. So I hope you enjoyed this lecture. We'll see you in the next one.
