Career Counselor ..

Today, I met up with a career counselor at one of the Job Agency. There are many Job Agency funded by the Govt here in Canada .... hence all of them are trying to get as much customer as possible to be able to get more fundings for their operation. I went to several Agency last week & finally decided to choose Central Okanagan Immigrant Employment Service to help me.

The Job Counselor's job is actually to give advice & keep a look up on job suitable to my criteria. On today's 1st session, it is more like a introductory session. The Job Counselor, 1stly get to know more about my background & what I look for in the job. Then when I handed her my Resume & Cover Letter, she gave some advise as well on how to better improve my resume & how to sell myself better in the cover letter.

Today's 1st session seems fruitful & hopefully the next few session will be the same. They even have Interview Workshop session next week & Networking Workshop session a week after. Most importantly, they acknowledge that they have fundings for me to apply for my credential as P.Eng (which will cost abt CND 300++).
