regular employment agencies? " Regular employment agencies will not consider people who are not available to attend interviews in person and who do not have the requisite visa. The employer companies they work for expect to fill vacancies within weeks and only wish to look at those who have visas, are available for interviews and can start to work after giving notice of termination. What you require is a company that will work for you to pro-actively present your qualifications to prospective employers in order to obtain employment interviews for you. We specialize in conducting job searches in cities across North America for our clients. Our company is a licensed international employment service which does not charge fees to the employer and we use this strategy to obtain interviews for clients who in most cases do not have previous Canadian or American experience. The ideal time to retain our services is at least 6 weeks prior to arrival - either for a scheduled visit or permanent relocation. The first step is the Employability Report Click here to go back to the top of the page " Why couldn't I conduct a job search on my own? " There's no question that you could do a job search on your own (many people have). However for someone who is newly settled in North America, and has not begun their job search prior to relocation it may take a number of weeks to merely get started (learning about the culture, language, formalities, etc). It takes time to create a North American styled resume, cover letter, identify relevant potential employers and then send the resumes out. It may take weeks to get at least one job interview and 3-6 months to obtain a job offer. Thus it is a lengthy and time consuming process, which is further complicated by different hiring practices in Canada and the United States. On the Full-Service Job Search Program, employment interviews are arranged prior to a scheduled visit or permanent relocation. We contact employers in advance of your arrival to ensure that employment interviews start immediately to provide the necessary momentum to obtain a suitable job offer. Our proven job search process ensures you get the head start you need for successful relocation. Click here to go back to the top of the page " What is your success rate? " On the Full-Service Job Search Program the success rate for obtaining a suitable job offer is 70-80%. Since we don't charge employers, employers are under no obligation and have nothing to lose by granting interviews for individuals who under normal circumstance would not be seriously considered due to the high cost of recruitment fees charged by regular employment services. In many instances employers will create new positions for our clients who are well qualified and have transferable skills. Click here to go back to the top of the page " Are jobs guaranteed? " We cannot guarantee job offers will result from the use of our service. This is because we do not make hiring decisions nor do we attend the employment interviews. We do guarantee however our best effort to arrange as many employment interviews as possible and to provide pre-interview preparation and interview strategies necessary to progress the hiring process to the job offer stage. We are pleased to provide references of clients who have utilized our services at the time you are ready to make an informed decision. Click here to go back to the top of the page " Are my qualifications marketable / in demand in North America? " In many cases international experience is equivalent and in other cases it is not. It depends largely on your occupation, your employment history, your education and your employment objectives. Having your education professionally evaluated will determine its transferability to North America. Credential Evaluation The more specialised and current your experience and skills are the less need there is for North American experience. We provide a comprehensive employment appraisal called the Employability Report which assesses your qualifications, employment objective, all employment options, makes recommendations and determines the cost to conduct your job search. Your employment appraisal estimates your salary potential in Canada or the US and provides an opportunity to ask specific questions related to your relocation plans and employment requirements. When you order your appraisal, we send you the necessary forms to be completed which you then return with your supporting documents.
