<br />
Already the Minister of Canada's Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism- Jason Kenney is planning to bring in more than 10,000 skilled workers and professionals by 2012 to fill in the vacant positions in Canada. That's a lot considering the unemployment rates that are bursting out of every corner in the world, but Canada seems to shift on the other foot. Like China, Canada's economy is booming and the need for workers are ever-increasing and since there's not enough manpower within their local population, the government is looking elsewhere to help fill this gap. The good thing is that there are pools of talents found in every country of our planet, who are more than willing to live and work in Canada.<br />
<br />
Now there are plenty of ways to get into Canada if you've got the proper skills and experience in the job, then you can apply as a skilled worker immigrant. However, you'll also need to have an invitation to work in Canada by your employer for you to qualify. Even its neighboring country America has been looking to Canada for job opportunities and as a matter of fact, the number of US citizens applying for temporary work visa has significantly increased and is expected to increase next year as well. This is due to the fairly recent 2009 economic recession that has crippled the US economy and left thousands jobless even until now.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Since you'll need your immigration papers processed for this kind of scenario, might as well go see an immigration lawyer in Canada. Of course you can do it online too! You see most skilled workers and professionals will eventually want to remain in Canada permanently and I bet you would too once you have enjoyed your stay. Bottom line is that many of Canada's jobs comes with the offer of the possibility wherein you can apply for citizenship, this is exactly why so many people want to take advantage of the opportunity to live and work in Canada.<br />
<br />
The whole immigration law can be a wild circus party and if you think you can handle things on your own, well, you might want to rethink your chances because you'll have very few. An immigration lawyer can be your guide, your consort and the one who will represent you before the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) in order to plead your request for citizenship. Although it is not a 100% guarantee that you will be granted citizenship by having an immigration lawyer represent you, there have been cases where an immigrant was denied citizenship because of invalid reasons and ended up winning their citizenship and had been vindicated.<br />
<br />
Take advantage of this rare opportunity to live and work in Canada and eventually become a citizen through their various immigration programs. You'll never know what wonderful opportunities await you there!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Canada offers so many opportunities for people from all over the world to emigrate from their own country. You can apply to immigrate from your country of origin and when your application is successfully granted your permanent resident card (PR Card) is issued to you so that you can relocate. However, a lot of people have gotten jobs before immigrating which even enhances the immigration process.<br />
<br />
You must bear in mind that despite immigrating with your Permanent Resident Card most people have actually gotten very good job offers from Canada while still living in their own country. If the job is certified by the Human Resources and Skills development Center, Canada (HRSDC), they no longer need to wait for their PR Card before they can travel and work. A visa and work permit is issued to the individual from his country of origin which enables him to comfortably work.<br />
Although this person still has the status of a temporary resident he can still be working while waiting for his application for a permanent resident status to be approved.<br />
<br />

There are so many wonderful agencies in Canada that are as well on the internet. They are dedicated to recruiting workers for Canadian employers within and outside the country.<br />
<br />
One of the best ways you can prepare yourself to live in this country is to be very good at your profession. If you are good at what you do be sure that you won't find it hard settling here. Canadian employers are in love with experienced workers. In this country there is no place for mediocrity. If you are not competent in your field of expertise you might as well settle for a menial job. In order to maximize your stay in the country, I will advice that you acquire job experience even before leaving your country. Build up your resume in such a way that you become a hot cake. In this way you will certainly not be bypassed by wonderful job opportunities.<br />

<br />
An examination of the nurse salary information reveals that the highest paying nursing jobs in Canada are in the northern territories. Registered nurse salaries there can range from $58,000 to $90,000 per annum. Relocation, housing, and northern living allowances can top up a registered nurse salary by another $23,000 per year. Bonuses and allowances are offered as incentives to attract and retain nurses in Canadian nursing jobs in the north.<br />
<br />
<b>Are Northern Nursing Jobs in Canada for You?</b><br />
The three northern territories in Canada have some of the highest nurse to population ratios, but still the population is small so the number of jobs available are not large in comparison to some of the larger urban areas in the western and eastern provinces of Canada.<br />
<br />
Many communities in the north are remote and isolated. For example there is a population of 40,000 people living in the 1.17 million square miles of the entire Northwest Territories and only one major city (Yellowknife). There are only 4 hospitals in the entire territory and 28 community health centers.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Contrast that to the Greater Vancouver Metropolitan area on the southwest coast of British Columbia which has over 21 municipalities spread out over 1,111 square miles ( 2,877.36 square kilometers) and a population of 2.3 million with 6 acute care hospitals in Vancouver city, and at least 8 in the surrounding area.<br />
<br />
The high registered nurse salaries offered for Canadian nursing jobs in the north must be balanced against the remoteness of the setting and also the high cost of living. Since all supplies are trucked or flown into the area it is much more expensive to buy necessities like food, clothing and heating fuel.<br />
<br />
It is also important to understand some of the requirements for nursing in the north if you are considering a nursing career there. Salary is one thing but specialized skills are quite another.<br />
<br />
<b>Specialized Skills are Needed</b><br />
Many registered nursing jobs in northern Canada require specialized language and clinical skills. In the Northwest Territories for example there are 10 official languages. Most nursing positions require knowledge of the First Nations and Inuit culture and language.<br />
<br />
Specialized clinical skills are needed for what is called "outpost" nursing. These are nursing jobs where the nurse practices independently in communities without full time physician coverage.<br />
<br />
Because of these specialized requirements Canadian nursing jobs in the north are not recommended for entry level practice.<br />
<br />
If you are attracted by the highest paying nursing jobs in Canada, the good news is that the there are plenty of incentives to move to the north for work in health care.<br />
<br />
As an example the Community Health Nurse (CHN) Development Program in the Northwest Territories offers nurses with less than two years of work experience an opportunity to develop what are termed "outpost" nursing skills in preparation for some of the highest paying nursing jobs in the country. Nurses who enroll in the program are mentored through a course that offers both theory and practice in order to develop the skills necessary for these specialized nursing jobs.<br />
<br />
Also the labor unions have negotiated "northern allowances" for workers and these financial incentives are added to wages and provide extra income to make up for travel costs and the high cost of northern living.<br />
So when you are reviewing the registered nurse salary information posted in connection to advertisements for nursing jobs in the north of Canada make sure you know what you are getting into and take into consideration some of the factors that may affect what it costs to live in the north and consider if you are actually suited to northern living and the requirements of nursing jobs in these small and specialized communities.<br />
<br />
Many people in the northern regions of Canada love living in the north and like the lifestyle that includes a small community feeling and outdoor recreation activities in the snow and ice climate. But just be aware that the nights can be long, the summers can be short, and you may require a driver's license for a snow mobile instead of a car, for there is no public transport system to get you to your job when you work in nursing jobs in Canada in the northern regions.<br />

<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Having in mind that Canada has been ranked one of the best places in the world to live, it is no wonder approximately 250,000 immigrants choose to come in live in Canada every year. When you add up the relatively low cost of living, good health care and education system and well-paying jobs - it sounds like dream country. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you have decided to move to Canada there are several ways to do it. For example, the business immigration, family class immigration and experience class immigration. However, people who qualify under the skilled worker class criteria will have highest chances to live their dream as Canada plans on accepting 101,000 new skilled worker immigrants in 2010 and Quebec is the province which is getting the largest percentage of them.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The most important thing to do before considering applying for immigration to Quebec is finding out if you qualify for this program. People who speak French, have work experience, higher education, a job offer from a Quebec employer or relatives who live in Quebec have the highest chances of qualifying. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The next step in the process would be to submit an official immigration application. This is where experienced professionals can help. They can make sure all documents that need to be submitted to immigration services are correctly filled in, prepare candidates for the interview and check the status of the application.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Once the immigration application has been approved, you need to choose where to settle, find out about housing and jobs, and improve your French language skills. After you arrive in Quebec, you will have to see an integration officer, who will give you useful information on how to acquire necessary documents, rent a flat and involve your children in schools. If necessary he will enroll you in a French language course. During your first few, there are many free information sessions which will tell the new immigrants how to adapt quickly to life in Québec, introduce the values of the Quebec society and the details of daily life.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So the future looks bright for anyone who wants to go and work in Canada in 2010. </div><br />

<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How to Migrate in Canada as a Skilled Worker</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There have been so many reasons why people are migrating to Canada. Good education, job opportunities and permanent residency are few of them. But we have this doubt in mind on how to start your application. Normally we go to an Immigration representative but shocked of their services fee that would really drain your budget. Actually "representative" or some call it "agencies" would assess if you are qualified, meaning if they think you are qualified then you are really qualified so why do you need them? They won't do anything to process your application faster or influence the Canadian Immigration on your eligibility. All we have to do is to know the requirements, read instructions and submit your application. <br />
<br />
Benefits of Migrating to Canada:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">o Stay for 1095 Days and get Canadian Passport<br />
<br />
o Free Children education<br />
<br />
o Free Medical<br />
<br />
o Social Security after 6 months</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Steps</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1. Check if you are qualified - Check if you have worked or have at least one year experience for the last ten years in a particular occupation listed in the Canadian National Occupational Classification. Most of the websites of immigration representatives has a free online assessment. Make use of them, it's free. Or they might ask you to submit your CV or Curriculum Vitae to their sales or customer representative. Don't hesitate to submit it by email. If they contact you either by phone or email, meaning they are interested in you because you are simply qualified. Try online assessment for at least three times with different websites to double check your eligibility.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As one of the foremost economies in the world despite the recession, Canada has become one of the best places that expats and other travelers go to in recent years. With the influx of immigrants, the economy continues to flourish. In order to keep up with the burgeoning economy, studying in Canada has become one way that new experts and workers easily provide the supply of warm bodies for the economic growth.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The land mass and geographic diversity of Canada has allowed it an almost unlimited supply of natural resources to fuel the continued growth and economic development. As the economy grows, the demand for expert skilled workers becomes greater and with a population that is slow to provide the experts, the government has turned to foreign workers and students to fill the need. That is why studying in Canada has become one of the worlds best locations to overcome the current financial crisis.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><a name='more'></a><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The other aspect of being educated in Canada is the high cost of matriculation and living expenses for its fruition. Not all educational institutions though have scholarships to provide deserving but financially handicapped students. To others given the opportunity to study, they need to find jobs to augment their finances to remain in school. And teaching in Canada has become one of the options for financial support in the country.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The problem though in pursuing teaching as a means of income in Canada is the lack of permanent positions available for anyone with the credentials to do so. In the highly urbanized areas of the country, there is an oversupply of teachers for the school system while there is a disparity when it comes to the more remote areas of the country. Since most of the higher educational institutions are located in the cities, teaching as a means of livelihood and a means of making school payments is not a viable option. The reality was portrayed in a post saying that "however, unlike countries such as the UK, the number of private schools in relation to the number of state schools is very low although with the expat community continuing to grow on an annual basis we could and should see an increase in the number of private schools in Canada."</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So in order to be able to continue studying in Canada, teaching should be one of the first to search for but least expected to bear fruit. Other job options need to be explored in order to be able to find funds for both schooling and everyday expenses. In fact, teaching in Canada is not one of the vocations that ranks in the summary of skilled workers required in Canada. There are many immigrants who have the necessary credentials who cannot find jobs within Canada that provide a venue to practice their pedagogical expertise.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So if you are studying in Canada and with the many other positions and professions in demand, you can find other means to eke out a living for your daily expenses. It is recommended though that you be on the lookout for teaching positions that open up, so long as you have the mandatory three years experience together with your education and other credentials. The ideal set up would be a student having a day job teaching but with the current climate, it is best that you seek other jobs while awaiting the ideal set up to materialize.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Each year the Canadian government welcomes around 90,000 migrants to its doors. A lot of the migrants are skilled workers and a good amount of them are from the Philippines.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Canada, is a huge country and needs to fill so many jobs that its own people do not want or are simply over-qualified for. Garbage disposal, Oil and gas workers, Truck drivers, Teachers, Care-givers, and the like are highly sought-after in Canada.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Another industry that Canada needs bolstering is the IT industry, from web-designers to programmers there is a scarcity of IT professionals. Taiwanese, Chinese, Koreans and Filipinos are now filling in these positions fast. The IT industry in Canada is fast becoming an Asian dominated sector of the work force.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Another industry opening up to Filipinos are the Cruise ship lines. Cruising is a popular holiday option and Canada is a beautiful country to sight-see via luxury liner. The cruise ships need entertainers, stylists, spa managers, recreation specialists, care-givers, traveling nurses and the like. A cruise ship is like a city that is moving-it needs everything that a city needs.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The entry point for most of these workers are a temporary working visa issued to these successful applicants, the applicants over the course of their stay are then evaluated for full citizenship based on skills and integration.</div><br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">POEA Jobs in Canada - are there still a lot of employers looking for Filipinos to work in Canada? You'd be surprised as to how many jobs are available in Canada especially for Filipino's as they are considered hard working, non-complaining easy-to-get along with human beings.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As for Canada, the Canadian government has always been welcoming of not only Filipinos but a host of different nationalities as well. In fact Vancouver's mayor is of Chinese descent, there are so many Asians in Vancouver that you would think you were somewhere in Asia rather than the western hemisphere.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Recently the Canadian government re-opened its doors to nursing practitioners as the Canadians realized that there are not enough health workers in the country. This could lead to another wave of second-tier health workers such as caregivers and physical therapists, not to mention Filipino doctors turning themselves into paramedics just to get better pay.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><a name='more'></a><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Oil is a major industry in Canada, so the Filipino oil-workers who honed their skills and got their experience in the gulf are now much sought-after in the northern parts, where huge oil deposits have been discovered and are now being exploited.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In the beauty and vanity industry many Filipino hairdressers are ending up in swank salons in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. The major cities are being invaded by "pinoy" manicurists, hair-stylists and make-up artists.</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">In part two we will look at the other sunrise industries like Hospitality and IT jobs that are now being filled by Filipino's in Canada.

<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">While the rest of the world seems to be losing jobs at an alarming rate, the complete opposite can be said about Canada's Alberta Province. Alberta offers ample job opportunities for those interested in working in the oil and gas field. In fact, there is actually a labor shortage in Alberta, and many companies are practically begging those with certain skills to come work for them. Before one packs their bags and heads north, there are several things to keep in mind about oil and gas jobs in Alberta, Canada.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><a name='more'></a><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Even though over one-third of Alberta's gross revenue and nearly 20% of all jobs in the province can be attributed to oil and gas, walking into an energy company and expecting them to drool over any warm body is an inaccurate representation of how the process of landing a job in this field works. Without first-hand knowledge, it is hard for a person to understand how much skill it takes to work in the oil and gas industry in Alberta. Most of the jobs in need of being filled are extremely challenging from a physical, mental and mechanical standpoint. If one is qualified and has relevant work experience, landing such jobs is a piece of cake, but be forewarned; much of this work is not for the faint of heart. Many jobs are seasonal, so that must be taken into consideration, and most of the opportunities are based out of extremely remote and isolated locations.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There are many skills that are in high demand in Alberta's oil and gas industry. Those with backgrounds in construction should have little problem finding work, and there is always a need for experienced drillers, derrick hands, operators and fabrication welders. Plus, there are other opportunities for employees who cater to the needs of oil and gas workers like cooks, janitors and maintenance personnel. While there may be plenty of jobs available, what employers are looking for is quite specific, so it is important to keep this in mind if one has no experience. A person can still find entry-level work, but those positions are sought after so there is more competition.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Oil and gas jobs in Alberta are indeed plentiful, but there is a catch. Most work is labor-intensive and performed in a very isolated and unforgiving environment, and travel is mandatory. Employers are looking for workers who want a career instead of those after quick cash, but there are advancement opportunities once someone gets their foot in the door. With most of the world lamenting about the lack of jobs, it is refreshing to know of a place where those willing to work hard are given a chance to do so.</div><br />

<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Vancouver, British Columbia is a beautiful port city in western Canada. Because it is a vibrant and temperate metropolitan area within close proximity to many enjoyable outdoor recreational activities, Vancouver is considered a desirable place to live. The downside to this fact is that the cost of living is extremely high compared to the rest of Canada, and it can be a difficult place to secure gainful employment. Still, that should not discourage anyone from making Vancouver their home, and by utilizing one or all of the techniques below, one can find their perfect job in this wonderful city.<br />
</div><a name='more'></a><br />
Internet Searches<br />
Most job seekers begin their search online. Many employment opportunities are found on websites like Job Bank Canada and Workopolis, and if nothing else, these sites can give a person an idea regarding what types of jobs are available. Keep in mind that many of the best jobs are not listed on the internet, so to diversify one's job search online, it can be helpful to search for businesses and companies that that are of personal interest. Sending an unsolicited resume is considered poor form to many employers, but there is nothing wrong with inquiring about possible openings while telling a little about one's qualifications. There are many other resources available for online job seekers that are worth checking out, and most government opportunities can be found online, as well.<br />
<br />
Take it to the street<br />
Vancouver is a compact city with a discernible city center. This makes it easy and productive to go downtown and walk the streets looking for "Help Wanted" signs. By introducing oneself to business owners in person, job candidates can make a lasting impression, and a street job search shows employers that one is motivated and willing to do what it takes to find work.<br />
<br />
Understanding local industries<br />
Every city has its primary industries, and Vancouver is no different. Tourism, film production, software development, forest services and biotechnology are all fields with significant economic ties to the city. It can pay to focus on industries that are prosperous in Vancouver because related firms are more likely to be hiring.<br />
<br />
There is no sure fire way to find a job in Vancouver, but hard work and perseverance are always rewarded. That is what it takes to find work virtually anywhere. It may be harder to find work in Vancouver than in other Canadian cities, but it is worth pursuing, as the reward is being able to live in one of the most dynamic and desirable places in North America.<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you receive a job offer from a Canadian company, your visa application process will be much easier! </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I strongly recommend obtaining a job offer from a Canadian company before submitting your visa application. If you can get this document, it will not only help you settle easier in Canada , but it will also increase your Pass Mark assessment.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Let me explain the way a job offer will help you increase your Pass Mark assessment:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You will receive 10 points if:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">– You have a permanent job offer in Canada . However, please note that this offer has to be confirmed by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC).</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you are already in Canada (with a temporary work permit), and you decide to apply from within the country, you will also receive points in the following situations:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You will receive 10 points if:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">– Your temporary work permit was issued after receiving a confirmation of a job offer from Human Resources and Skills Development Canada ; – Your temporary work permit was exempted from the requirement of a issued after receipt of a confirmation of your job offer from HRSDC (due to an international agreement).</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Also if it represents a relevant benefit to Canada or its competitiveness (i.e. intra-company or post-graduate work respectively).</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I recommend visiting the following website for further information about the specific requirements for these situations: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/qual-5-4.html</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is very important that you understand this process, in case you are interested in using a Canadian job offer in your application.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">First of all, what is The Department of Human Resources and Skills Development (HRSD)?</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This Department has a very specific objective: to ensure that all the Canadians have the right elements and tools to succeed in the Canadian workplace.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">To achieve this objective, one of the main duties of this Department is to make sure that all the foreign workers support the Canadian economic growth. Foreign workers are very important for the Canadian economy!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For this reason, this Department is responsible of ensuring that the right Skilled Workers are hired by the Canadian companies.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Let me explain what the Canadian companies have to do to make a permanent job offer to a Skilled Worker (I hope that is your case, you will earn 10 points!). </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Basically the companies have to options: </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">1.They can submit an application for an HRSDC labour market opinion (normally called LMO). This is one of the requirements that Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) takes into consideration when they evaluate your visa application.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2.The companies can also submit an application for an HRSDC arranged employment opinion (normally called (AEO). </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A positive AEO will also be extremely important when your visa is processed. However, the AEO does not allow the person to work in Canada before the Permanent Residence visa is accepted and issued.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you have already contacted a Canadian company, and they are interested in giving you a job offer, I suggest letting then know that the following two websites will be very useful.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">– To apply for the LMO : http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/en/epb/lmd/fw/poWorkPerm.shtml – To apply for the AEO: http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/en/epb/lmd/fw/poArrEmp.shtml</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">See you in Canada !</div><br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When looking for a job in Canada, one should keep in mind that most Canadian employers look at the job seeker’s resume first. As an applicant, one needs to invoke an interest in the potential employer by crafting a professional resume. Professionally prepared resumes are a direct reflection of the job seeker’s seriousness and commitment towards his or her career.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Certain rules should be kept in mind, regardless of which country one is pursuing job opportunities. For example, even a minor lapse in grammar or a spelling mistake will result in the resume looking unprofessional. These mistakes are an indication of carelessness.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So how does a person generate interest in the employer and blend the unique culture of corporate Canada in their resume?<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><a name='more'></a><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Organizations receive hundreds of job applications on a daily basis, and every job seeker’s resume and application will be given around 30 to 45 seconds for reviewing the content. In a short span of 45 seconds, a resume must be able to generate interest and curiosity that will encourage the employer to short-list the resume.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is important to be forthright with relevant information and ensure that details pertaining to educational background, work history, and job summary are highlighted and presented consistently and in short, concise sentences. Also areas of expertise and keywords that are of interest to the employer/position are key in developing an eye-catching resume.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Canadian employers will not discriminate based on colour, race, gender, or nationality. Therefore, a person is not required to mention any of these details in the resume. Also, personal interests, activities, and other details pertaining to one’s personal life should be excluded from the resume. If gender and age matter in specific occupations, one can make a special mention of these details in the resume; otherwise these are irrelevant to the employer.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In order to craft a professional resume that meets the standards and requirements of Canadian employers, it is advisable to seek the help of professional Canadian resume writing services. This will ensure that the resume is written in a style and manner that will draw the attention of potential Canadian employers and present all information in a professional format. Canadian resume writing services have the experience and expertise of dealing with job seekers, as well as employers, and understand both ends of the spectrum. They will ensure that resumes are developed bearing all factors in mind. After interacting with employers and working with their requirements, resume writing services are at an advantage when it comes to developing the content for resumes.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This service is extremely helpful to foreign applicants, fresh graduates, and professionals who are looking at changing domains or progressing. By employing the services of a professional organization, fresh graduates, as well as people foreign to Canada, can start off at an advantage and learn from the experience of the resume writing services. People can save themselves a lot of time that they would have to spend on learning by trial and error if they approached employers directly.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Another reason why it is beneficial to seek advice from Canadian resume writing services is because there are certain aspects of Canada’s labour laws and work culture that are unique and specific to Canada. It will certainly help to understand the same from the resume writing service provider. They will explain the details of such laws and rules that are specific to Canada, and one can start off his or her job search knowing some of the important aspects of working in Canada.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Ultimately, a well-crafted resume can get an employee in the door, but the onus of doing well in the interview, convincing the employer, and getting the job rests with the job seeker. Also, on landing the job, it will entirely depend on the employee as to how well he or she can work, demonstrate his or her ability to complete assignments on time, deliver results, and impress the employer. One has to live up to all that is mentioned in the resume and understand that these are not merely words, but need to be backed with great work on a consistent basis, and in an ethical manner.<br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Many people hope to find jobs in <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/canada" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=45.4,-75.6666666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=45.4,-75.6666666667%20%28Canada%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="Canada">Canada</a>. For some people it only takes a few days to gain <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/employment" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employment" rel="wikipedia" title="Employment">employment</a>, whereas others find months passing before gaining an interview. Although no magic formula exists for finding employment, the following tips will help make your <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/job_hunting" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_hunting" rel="wikipedia" title="Job hunting">job search</a> more productive.<br />
<br />
Define your job objective. You should know what type of job you want and whether or not you have the skills for the job. Also, you must be clear about whether you're seeking permanent, temporary, full-time, or part-time employment.<br />
<br />
Create a professional <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000f112639" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9" rel="wikipedia" title="Résumé">résumé</a>. Having a résumé with your previous <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/work_experience" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_experience" rel="wikipedia" title="Work experience">work experience</a>, <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000000141ab" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education" rel="wikipedia" title="Education">education</a>, and skills listed on it helps when looking for a job. Employers want to see your job history. Even if you haven't been paid for doing a job that relates to the position you're seeking, include it on your résumé.<br />
<br />
Resumes come in two basic styles: chronological and functional. Chronological resumes are appropriate for those with plenty of relevant work experience, as this is a format used to display all positions held over a period of time. Functional resumes are used to focus on a candidate's skills that were gained in school or at a previous job. Be sure and create your own unique resume and just utilize templates to get an idea for a format. The use of headings organizes a resume and makes it read easier.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Network. Asking people about job availabilities in your field helps tremendously. Many people receive job leads based on talking to someone. Contact friends, family members and former colleagues or co-workers and inform them that you're seeking employment. They may not have a position for you, but they may know someone who is hiring in <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/alberta" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=54.5,-115.0&spn=1.0,1.0&q=54.5,-115.0%20%28Alberta%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="Alberta">Alberta</a>, Canada.<br />
<br />
Make a list of potential employers. Check company websites to see if they are hiring. Also, you can call a company representative to see whether or not the company has any openings in your field.<br />
<br />
Check online and print classifieds. Many companies post their job openings on job search websites. Despite the number of jobs posted online, many companies still place their openings in local <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/newspaper" href="http://www.wikinvest.com/industry/Newspapers" rel="wikinvest" title="Newspapers">newspapers</a>. Searching Alberta newspapers for jobs remains a viable option, but these newspapers shouldn't be your only job openings source.<br />
<br />
Have several professional and personal references available. Ask previous co-workers or supervisors to be a reference for you. Also, ask friends who will speak highly of your character to be on your reference list. Always ask people if they will be your reference before including them on an application or list. They need to know that someone may be contacting them about you.<br />
<br />
Freshen up your skills. Learn new skills to be more marketable. As you search for a job in Canada, pay attention to what type of skills employers in your field are seeking. If you don't have them, make an effort to acquire those skills. While searching for a job, read books or articles on the skills, take classes, or have someone teach you the skills.<br />
<br />
Seeking employment is a <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/full_time" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-time" rel="wikipedia" title="Full-time">full-time job</a>. You must be prepared and patient. By persevering and following these tips, you'll be better prepared while trying to find a job in Canada.<br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fancy cars, designer clothes, and high paying jobs are how many people in third world countries might imagine life in the western part of the world. After all, those who are lucky enough to immigrate to <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/canada" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=45.4,-75.6666666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=45.4,-75.6666666667%20%28Canada%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="Canada">Canada</a>, <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/united_states" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20%28United%20States%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="United States">U.S.</a>, or the U.K. for a new and prosperous life, always return home for a visit after a couple of years bearing a ton of gifts for the entire family, building homes on huge acres of land, and spending heaps of cash that seem to be limitless. Yes, the lifestyles of those who live in western countries are very privileged in many ways that I can’t deny. I should know, I live in <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/alberta" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=54.5,-115.0&spn=1.0,1.0&q=54.5,-115.0%20%28Alberta%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="Alberta">Alberta</a>, Canada, an oil rich province where jobs are plentiful; salaries are high, and poverty, almost non-existent.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In addition to living in what appears to be a life of luxury, there are things all people should be fully aware of before settling in Canada.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>#1) WESTERN MENTALITY</b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b></b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Most people in third world countries do not have or may not be aware of <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/credit_card" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card" rel="wikipedia" title="Credit card">credit cards</a> or mortgages. So, if you know or see someone living in a big house or driving a luxurious car you can safely make the assumption that they are rich. However, in Canada or U.S. someone driving a luxurious car and living in a big beautiful house may or may not be rich. If you have good credit, you are eligible to get a mortgage, credit cards, car leases which basically means the bank really owns your car or house and you make monthly payments depending how much the loan is. It could take 2-5 years to pay off a car and 20 plus years for a house.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><a name='more'></a><br />
</b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>#2) STANDARD OF LIVING</b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b></b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Keeping up with the Joneses is a common phrase used to describe a person who strives to have what there neighbour has. It is very common for a family who might make a combined annual income of $100,000 to be deeply in debt. Most likely, because they are living above their means in order to keep up appearances. A classic example of this is person I once knew who owned a beautiful million-dollar home in an <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/upper_class" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_class" rel="wikipedia" title="Upper class">upper class</a> community. This house was decorated with elegant furniture top to bottom, big screen TV, and she even drove a brand new Mercedes. A lifestyle enviable by many, but what most people didn’t know is she could not afford to pay the electric bill and mortgage. Does that make sense to you? So it is important to understand that not everyone is rich in Canada, our idea of success is unrealistic and we are creating debt while in pursuit of riches.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>#3) MONEY DOESN'T GROW ON TREES</b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b></b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In Canada, believe it or not, money is made from very hard work, long hours 5 days a week and for many even 6 or 7 days a week. There are some people who work 3 jobs just to make ends meet. Industrialization in Canada has created many jobs for skilled workers. However, many highly educated <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/immigration" href="http://www.wikinvest.com/concept/Immigration" rel="wikinvest" title="Immigration">immigrants</a> are found working such jobs as, <a href="http://www.rabble.ca/babble/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=12&t=001151">slaughterhouses</a>, taxi drivers, or janitorial jobs that most Canadians consider to be undesirable. These jobs do pay well because nobody wants to do them and they require very little training. Foreign credentials such as: medical, law, or any other degree obtained in a country outside Canada does not guarantee you a job in Canada. Your degree, which you worked hard for, may not be recognized by Canadian standards. To avoid disappointment it is important to understand what level of professional and academic standards you need to meet before you arrive.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>#4) DISCRIMINATION & RACISM</b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b></b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you are planning to migrate to Canada you must know that you may face this issue. Some cities are better than others but here in Alberta it might be the worst. A recent article in the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/calgary_herald" href="http://www.canada.com/calgary/calgaryherald/index.html" rel="homepage" title="Calgary Herald">Calgary Herald</a> exposes Calgary as the <a href="http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/columnists/story.html?id=cf42197a-0945-4ed2-9fb9-d6ba49d24a9c">hate crime capital of Canada</a>. Growing up as an <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/black_canadian" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Canadians" rel="wikipedia" title="Black Canadians">African Canadian</a> in the 80's , at a time when there were few black families I faced a lot of issues with <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/racism" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism" rel="wikipedia" title="Racism">racism</a>. Though there are more visible minorities now, this problem still exists. Recently I met a man from Russia who faces racial slurs daily at his work place, he said even though his skin is the same colour as theirs they still discriminate against him because of his Russian accent. The fact that discrimination and racism can be very subtle and even non-verbal at times means that we need to work hard to prove ourselves at all times. Minorities are undervalued and may not have the same privileges as our Canadian counterpart, but we can still require respect in the work place or in school. The <a _blank="" href="http://209.85.141.104/search?q=cache:uBSe6YeTMYUJ:%3Ca%20target=">anti-harassment">https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/en/gui/9661/AntiHarassmentandDiscriminationPolicy.pdf+discrimination+policy+work+alberta&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=ca">anti-harassment</a> and discrimination policyis design to support us in this regard.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>#5) CHANGE OF A LIFESTYLE</b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b></b><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Canadian customs may be different from what your used to, but there are a few customs you may not be aware of. For example, it is customary to call and make an appointment to visit someone at there home, showing up unannounced is considered impolite. When you arrive make sure it’s on time as Canadians value punctuality, don’t forget to remove your shoes at the door at all times. Never make a comment about a women’s weight if she is over weight, this is considered very disrespectful, you’re better off commenting on weight loss as a compliment. In order to guarantee a successful social integration try to socialize with people outside of your cultural group. I notice a lot of immigrants of all different ethnicities tend to only surround themselves with those from the same cultural background. I understand that meeting with people from the same country you’re from is human nature, you have a lot in common such as: language, culture, or religion. But it is equally important to integrate into society by not segregating your self. Spending time with people from other cultures is a good chance for others to learn about your culture and break the barriers that cause discrimination.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As you can see here, in the western part of the world things are not always what is seems. We may not have smoke and mirrors like a magician but we do a pretty good job at creating the illusion that we live the ideal perfect life. Make sure to prepare yourself by weighing the pros and cons. Now that you have this knowledge what are you going to do about it? Share this article with someone you know and create awareness through <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000000141ab" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education" rel="wikipedia" title="Education">education</a> because knowledge is power.<br />

<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">To successfully immigrate to <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/canada" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=45.4,-75.6666666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=45.4,-75.6666666667%20%28Canada%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="Canada">Canada</a>, you will have to seriously start considering various <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/employment" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employment" rel="wikipedia" title="Employment">employment</a> opportunities that are available and suitable based on your experience and educational qualifications. There are several ways to go about seeking employment in Canada including <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/recruitment" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recruitment" rel="wikipedia" title="Recruitment">recruitment</a> agencies, staffing services, placement consultants, online job portals, and through network contacts based in Canada.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Listed below are 10 tips for job seekers prior to immigrating and seeking employment in Canada.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u>1. Self-assessment – Determine skills relevant to job requirements in Canada</u><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Self-assessment will confirm or determine if the educational background, qualifications, and work experience of the job seeker meet the criteria of the job requirement. Self-assessment tests or evaluations will help establish one’s area of expertise based on which one can determine which area he or she should focus on while scouting for employment opportunities.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">During the process of self-assessment, one will also discover certain drawbacks or weak areas where one might need to concentrate and work on before seeking employment. For someone seeking a position in the Finance sector, it might be important to learn how to use Quick Books or any other finance-related <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/computer_software" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_software" rel="wikipedia" title="Computer software">software</a> that is commonly used in Canada. If one does not have exposure to this software, it might be of immense help to undergo a course or class to learn the same.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u>2. Rewrite your resume until you get it right – Highlight key words</u><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The importance of an excellent resume cannot be emphasized enough. As an applicant, you must strive hard to create a resume that highlights all your strengths in the preferred area of employment. Canadian employers prefer applicants who market their skills well and give them what they are looking for.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A certified Canadian resume <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/writer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writer" rel="wikipedia" title="Writer">writer</a> perhaps will understand this best and it is certainly worth the time and money to approach one and make life simpler. Crafting resumes while keeping in mind what the employer or organization is seeking is an expertise that is best known to resume writers. Once this task is taken care of, one can concentrate on posting the resume to organizations that one is interested in.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u>3. Make a good impression – Get it right the first time</u><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Once a professional Canadian resume writer has crafted a resume, there is a very good possibility that one will be approached for an in-person interview. Therefore, it is important for one to first study how the resume has been crafted, and which are the key areas one needs to concentrate on during the interview.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is also extremely important to be presentable during the in-person interview, especially since first impressions are lasting impressions, and one should look as good as his or her resume. Confidence and exuberance should shine through when you walk through the door!<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u>4. Follow up – An effective way to express interest </u><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After an interview, it is essential to keep the channel of <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/communication" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication" rel="wikipedia" title="Communication">communication</a> open with the potential employer. Of course, this should be done professionally and appropriately, and follow-up letters should clearly communicate one’s appreciation, interest, and enthusiasm for the position, after the interview.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A formal thank you letter sent within 24 hours after the interview will go a long way in communicating all of the above. Follow-up letters and/or emails are considered polite and professional. This will not only draw the attention of the hiring manager to your profile and interview, it will also confirm your interest in the position. You could also subtly add a line or two confirming points that you missed during the interview, ensuring that all sides are clear and prepared to make an easy decision.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Having said the above, one must remember to keep the follow-up letter or thank you note brief and polite, without any gush and mush in it. Otherwise, this will have the opposite effect, and might put the hiring manager off completely. Balance and moderation are the key words to bear in mind while drafting follow-up letters.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u>5. Keep track of your applications – always stay one step ahead</u><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is especially true if one has submitted a number of resumes and job applications to various organizations, recruiters, or online job searches. One should archive and/or maintain a separate folder with all the job applications posted, especially in the order of positing with the job profile and employer contact information attached.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When approached by these employers or recruiters for interviews, one must never be at a loss to confirm details and recollect information. If one is not able to recall the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/application_for_employment" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_for_employment" rel="wikipedia" title="Application for employment">job application</a> and what is asked by the potential employer, chances are one will be written off as unorganized and uninterested. Going through job applications periodically will also help one stay on top of things, and when called, he or she will be able to recollect information easily and effectively.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u>6. Network – Build references</u><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For those who have undergone Canadian immigration, it is important to build a wide <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/social_network" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_network" rel="wikipedia" title="Social network">social network</a>. After all, not all jobs are listed in job postings or job boards. New friends might have information on available jobs at the company they are working with. It always helps to go through good references, particularly since trusted sources will always provide accurate information regarding employers, wages, and work environment. Based on this information, one can customize the job application according to the organization’s requirements, since all the relevant information is available.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u>7. Do your <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/research" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research" rel="wikipedia" title="Research">research</a> – Go armed with information for interviews</u><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Reading up on the job market and employment trends will help one gain a deeper insight into what the organization is looking for. Based on this knowledge, one can customize the resume, highlight key words, and ensure there is a perfect match between the resume and job profile. Also, all information researched and understood with regards to the organization will come in handy during the interview.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When quizzed on various topics pertaining to the industry and organization, one should be able to quote the information on the websites. This is an effective way to communicate the interest and enthusiasm to the potential employer. Also, making note of the vision and mission of the organization and expressing your belief in the same will certainly create a positive impression.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u>8. Be punctual – Carry a formal folder with all relevant documentation</u><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Nothing irks an employer more than a late applicant. Strive to show that you are professional, courteous, and can follow instructions. Also ensure that you are prepared with copies of all necessary documents, transcripts, visa or permanent resident card copies, updated resume, and any particular work that you are interested in sharing. Software engineers, especially graphic and animation professionals might want to share some of their creations with potential employers; one can always carry pen drives or <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/compact_disc" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc" rel="wikipedia" title="Compact Disc">CDs</a> with a collection of the same.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u>9. Work with headhunters – Explore avenues that work professionally</u><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The core business or main activity of headhunters is to place people and earn revenues. Most headhunters have an extensive database of job requirements and are extremely well networked with various organizations. Depending on the job seekers experience, interest, and availability, headhunters generally find an appropriate job opening for job seekers. Organizations generally collaborate with headhunters to fill in various positions. Therefore, headhunters will be in a better position to forward resumes and job seekers to these organizations.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u> </u><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u>10. Positive Energy and Attitude – Create a lasting impression</u><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It is easy to slip into negativity and start becoming pessimistic if one does not receive interview calls immediately after posting the resume. The number of applications posted or the qualifications is not an indication of the number of calls one might receive from potential employers. It is the quality of the cover letter, resume, relevant industry experience, educational background, and a match between the job profile and the resume that will generate the calls.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Thus, before hastily concluding that things are not working in one’s favor, one must see if he or she has done everything right: crafted a resume that looks professional, applied for positions that match one’s profile, and possess relevant experience and expertise, to be selected for the job. Above all, one must see if all of the aforementioned was done with interest and enthusiasm.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If one has remained positive during the entire process and continues to remain positive later, one will draw positive energy to oneself. By becoming cynical and negative, one will do all the wrong things, say all the wrong things, and nothing productive will come out of the entire effort. Hence, it is important to continue to be positive during the entire job seeking exercise.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The same energy will ensure the interview goes well and the results are positive too. Ultimately, it is the job seeker who is deciding his or her results more than anyone or anything else.<br />
