What are we often asked?

Where can I work?

Based on your tastes, interests, skills and conditions you are searching for, we can help you target the type of position that is right for you and potential employers.

Do I need to prepare a cover letter?

It is recommended that you prepare a cover letter, as it is the first contact with the employer that allows you to introduce yourself and demonstrate the qualities necessary to fill the position offered. It is used to invite and convince the employer to examine the CV and propose an interview.

What are the sectors in which there are the most jobs available?

There are currently openings in many fields, including health and social services, construction, information technology, manufacturing, distribution, transportation, security, public service, cleaning, etc. Our team is constantly informed of the professions in demand.

How long will our sessions last?

The sessions last about an hour each. They can be scheduled over several weeks, depending on the needs.

Do you have a bank of employers?

We do not have a bank of direct employers, but we know the job market well, so we collaborate with companies in our sector and we provide you several job offers.
