Career Development Specialist Lara Schuelke offers five tips for current SAIT students to begin their career search while completing their program.
Start here: My Career Hub
My Career Hub is your online portal to all things career advancement at SAIT, including an active job board, event listings, and career advisor consultations.
Check the resource library for documents and web links to assist with your job search, including:
- Career search tools
- Cover letter and resumé samples
- Tips for LinkedIn and networking success
- Information about employment laws and standards
- Recordings of previous virtual events.
We’ve also created online tutorials that cover resumé and cover letter writing, interview strategies, and how to access our services.
If you’re a SAIT instructor and would like to add any of our tutorials to your course on Brightspace, please get in touch with student.employment@sait.ca.
Logging in to My Career Hub
To get started, click the login button on the main landing page.
If you’re a current student, select ‘Student Login’ and enter your SAIT email address and password.
If you’re a recent graduate, contact us at student.employment@sait.ca to have your alumni account activated. Your login credentials will be your 9-digit SAIT ID number and the previous password you were using to access your student account.
If you’re a SAIT alumnus looking to access My Career Hub for the first time, you must register for an alumni account.
Career advisor consultations
Book a one-on-one consultation or email your resumé for review through My Career Hub.
Our office is the Stan Grad Centre, room MB205, and office hours are Monday to Friday, 8 am – 4:30 pm. Virtual career advising appointments are also available.
Our services include the following:
Resume review
Did you know hiring managers spend less than 11 seconds looking at a resume? Have one of our specialists review your resumé to ensure it will catch someone's eye so it doesn't end up in the pile of rejected applications.
Practice interviews
Schedule a practice interview, and our specialist will ask you questions you can expect in actual interviews, like "What is your greatest weakness?" and "Tell me about a time when you had to deal with an upset co-worker or customer."
It's an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with the interview process without the risk of making mistakes that could cost you a job!
LinkedIn profile review
LinkedIn is a great tool for connecting with potential employers and future colleagues. Have one of our specialists review your profile to ensure it will get you noticed.
LinkedIn photoshoots
Polish your online profile with a professional photo. Check My Career Hub for dates and to register.
Job search consults
Have you been applying for jobs and getting no responses? Maybe you're not even sure where to start.
We can take a closer look at how you've been going about your job search to identify potential areas for improvement so that you can increase your chances of success.
