My passion as an English language teacher is to help newcomers reestablish their careers in Canada. I currently assist a group of six newcomer professionals with mastering the English they need for job interviews, but gaining English proficiency is only one aspect of employment success. The people I tutor are professionals with impressive degrees and experience. However, they are struggling to find employment in their former fields of work.
In the past, I recommended researching where they would like to work and surveying their websites for openings. I didn’t recommend applying to online job boards because they have too many applicants. Lately, I’ve concluded that creating a great LinkedIn profile could be the most effective way to obtain an interview. I read that executive recruiters use strategically chosen keywords on LinkedIn to search for ideal candidates.
