Employment Assistance Services (EAS)

 
Susan*, originally from China, came to Canada in March 2000 with an MSc in Computer Engineering from a university in Ireland. In March 2003 she became a client of Employment Assistance Services and spent several months under the guidance of her EAS employment counselor. The EAS Job Developer began to work with Susan in June.

The Job Developer immediately noticed that Susan had solid experience as an SAS Programmer Analyst. He suggested she focus on searching for jobs in that sector and gave her some ideas on how to research and cold-call companies.

One month later Susan informed the Job Developer that two cold calls had resulted in two interviews, one in Ottawa with Government of Canada and another with TD Bank in Toronto. She met with the Job Developer prior to the interviews. Both interviews went well, and Susan was offered jobs with both employers.

Susan decided to stay in Toronto and is now working for a large Canadian bank as a Business Information Analyst

Susan wrote her Job Developer:

Thank you so much for helping me on my job hunting. I benefited a lot from EAS, especially résumé correction, the mock interview and cold calling workshop. Without your help, I would not succeed today. I am really grateful to you for your help.
