Find Jobs

There are numerous ways to find jobs and we cannot emphasize enough on the importance of networking, especially at an early stage of your career. Although we agree that job listing databases and search engines are only a component of the job search process, they are nonetheless an excellent place to begin looking for job opportunities.

 

MyFuture

McGill's Career Planning Service is proud to offer myFuture, its job search and career tool suite. This system provides you with an efficient way to search for full-time, part-time and summer jobs during your studies and after you graduate.

With this user friendly system, you will be able to:

  • View and apply on-line to jobs (part-time, summer, permanent, etc.) 
  • Upload documents such as cover letters, résumés, transcripts, etc.
  • View employer profiles
  • Register for events and workshops

Career Update 

Each week, current undergraduate Education and MATL students receive a tailored career newsletter, the Career Update, informing them of the recent job and volunteer opportunities. Read it carefully to not miss any opportunity!

Facebook

As the most popular social network, Facebook can definitely help you to find jobs if you use it adequately. Like and follow the ISA Facebook page: McGill Education Internships and Student Affairs. If you would like to get an on-campus job, follow the pages of the units/offices/associations you are interested in. For example,  Campus Life and Engagement (CLE)Social Equity and Diversity in Education (SEDE) and CaPS are regularly looking for candidates and volunteers. 

Work-Study Program 

The Work Study Program offers students with financial need access to clerical, research, technical, library or other jobs on campus or in some of the McGill-affiliated hospitals and organizations. The program not only helps students financially but can develop career-related skills and experience. A student's acceptance to the program is based primarily on financial need. You can find out more about the Work-Study Program here
