Vancouver Job Search Resources
Looking for a job or an internship in Vancouver or across Canada? You can start here! Use the links below as resources to explore job opportunities, but always apply directly through the company’s official website or careers page when possible. This ensures your application is submitted properly, avoids outdated postings, and helps protect against scams. To make your job search more effective, keep these top tips in mind:
- Tailor Your Resume and Cover Letter
Customize your documents for each position. Use keywords from the job posting and clearly highlight how your skills and experiences match the role. - Leverage Your Network
Connect with professionals in your field through professional associations, student clubs, career events, and platforms like LinkedIn. You can also reach out to FDU alumni or book a Career Services appointment to build your individualized networking strategy. - Research Companies
Make a list of target companies and regularly check their career pages for opportunities. Not sure where to start? Explore resources such as Canada’s Top 100, BC Business, GVBoT, Canada 411 to identify local companies and create your list. - Stay Organized and Follow Up
Track your applications and follow up 7–10 days after applying, unless the posting specifies otherwise. This shows initiative and interest.
Book an appointment with your Career Advisor through the Career Services Hub to develop a personalized job search action plan, optimize your resume and explore effective networking strategies.
