Student Employment

For this blog post, we have a guest blogger. Gary is a Power Engineering graduate who used our Student Employment Services to land himself a great job. Check out what he has to say about Student Employment Services.

Student Employment Services is an invaluable resource for students who have no idea about cover letters, resumes, interviews and networking.

I attended SAIT for two years in the Power Engineering program and I frequently attended Travis Ouchi’s employment workshops so I could obtain all the helpful hints he had to offer. It increased my confidence in looking for work when I graduated.

I knew of other students who would only attend one of Travis’s workshops and they felt that was enough. For me, attending more often helped me to re-write my resume and cover letter for each job I was applying for. I learned to write my resume to target the job I was interested in.

The most helpful workshop for me was the interview workshop. It is just like a real interview. The questions Travis asks appeared when I was interviewing with companies.

The online job bank has hundreds of jobs to apply for and was constantly updated with new jobs. All students should access this service as these people are looking for SAIT graduates.
