A tip from Manon St-Michel, Advisor

Manon Saint-Michel

"Employers need to know that their prospective employees will be competent. Be sure to provide such reassurance by telling them how you acquired and demonstrated your skills. Be specific: provide the context, the mandate, the challenges, the actions posed and their results, for example."

Manon St-Michel, Job Search Strategy Advisor
