1. Use your Employer Dashboard to register your company. You cannot create a job listing without first registering your company
2. Create a “Job Listing” based on the project that you applied with.
- The more detailed your job description is, the better chance you have for qualified candidates to apply.
Include an email address for candidates to send you resumes directly
When creating your listing, remember to include the following information:
- Approved project length using “Job Type” (200 hours or 500 hours)
- Approved schedule (full-time or part-time)
- Remote or on-site expectations
- Your approved project length and program was provided in your acceptance email.
- Jobs posted without approval for the project length will be removed.
- Although you may post multiple jobs, Technology Alberta will only fund ONE intern position.
3. Students/New Graduates will now apply to your listing. You can view their resumes in the “Resume” tab of your dashboard.
4. Interview your top candidates for the role.
5. Email [email protected] to finalize your hire. (Students found externally to the job board must register through the program to confirm their eligibility)
- For Scale-Up: a contact from your company, and your intended hire, will need to sign a contract agreement with Technology Alberta.
Information regarding reimbursements can be found in the “Resources” tab.
- Create your profile on the Jobseeker Dashboard.
- You may upload multiple resumes to your profile. You will choose which resume you apply with. It is good practice to tweak your resume for each job you apply for.
- You may apply to as many positions as you’d like, but may only accept one position through the program.
- When creating your resume, ensure that you include a title. This allows you to select your resume when applying for jobs.
Additional Instructions:
- Some companies require candidates to email resumes directly. Be sure to read the entire job posting for any specific application instructions.
- Be sure to email your resume with the subject line “JOB TITLE – YOUR NAME – APPLICATION”
- Employers may look at your Linkedin Profile while selecting a candidate, so ensure it is up to date.
It is important to consider whether the position is:
- 200 hours, Part-Time
- 200 hours, Full-Time
- 500 hours, Part-Time
- 500 hours, Full-Time
You can apply to any position that works for your situation. Undergraduate students may prefer part-time work, whereas grad students (or graduates) may prefer a full-time placement.
