After sending many resumes I didn’t understand why I didn’t get at least one positive reply. I also found it hard to judge whether I would be considered for a specific role or not, given that I wasn’t Canada’s permanent resident.This course was exactly what I was looking for. It perfectly answered all of my questions. One of the most important tools it gives you is an understanding of how to distinguish employers hiring people outside Canada from ones that don’t. I also found out that my resume was very inappropriate for Canada’s job market, it may have been rejected before even being looked at! Not only that, but I also learned how resumes are checked by recruiters and many tricks on how to tailor my resume to specific offers and which words to use.Cover letters, which were always the most painful part of any recruitment, now I find a breeze to write.While I didn’t have any problems with job interviews in the past, I think that the course module about them will be very useful to people that find talking to recruiters stressful. The directions given are very clear, and example questions, with answers, match strongly my experience of both interviewing and being interviewed for a job.All videos are very precise, no time is wasted, both audio and instructions are clear and the pacing is good as well.I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to improve their understanding of Canada’s job market and increase their chances of getting hired while not living in Canada (yet)!I am currently in the process of becoming a Canadian Permanent Resident, in the province of Manitoba.- Wojciech Niedzwiedz, Software Developer from PolandThe content of this course is really valuable. Witold's knowledge helps in every step of the job-hunting process and clears a lot of doubts.He starts by introducing us to multiple immigration options available in Canada, which helped me to come up with ideas on which program to choose for me and how to progress further.I used the resume template and all the tips provided to completely rework my own document and fix the many mistakes I made before.I found the cover letter lesson very eye-opening - I used to ignore cover letters in the past, but I now understand why they are important and how to use them to improve my chances of getting invited to a job interview.And the tips for job interviews, together with sample questions and answers, greatly improved my confidence when talking with the recruiters.Information on the list of companies hiring foreign workers is priceless - it saves me so much time and effort! I know exactly which companies to apply to. I no longer have to apply blindly to any job opening I find, but instead can focus my attention on companies that give me the highest chances of success.I highly recommend this course to any IT specialist wanting to move to Canada. It will make the job-hunting process much easier for you.- Bineesh Babu, DevOps Engineer from IndiaANY QUESTIONS?
