Subject: Career Bridge
  Does anyone have any info on the career bridge program? I registered online last week, and just received an email today, inviting me over for a pre-sreening interview at the office in Toronto. I live in Quebec, and was wondering if there was any point travelling all the way to attend it if it would not direclty lead to a job offer. Am I lucky to have been pre-selected?

Cheers,

Sopsy

Hi Sopsy,

Career Bridge is a good program but is not truly national as they have closed their BC office and offer internships almost solely in Ontario (primarily in the GTA region, but they have had several with the Ontario government throughout the province). All candidates who meet the stated requirements are invited in for a prescreening interview. At the interview they simply verify that you have had your credentials assessed and evaluate your English language skills and commnication skills (i.e. proper etiquitte for interviewing etc.). If you make it past this screening you are able to view the positions they have available through their online database and apply for any that fit with your experience. The company offering the internship then interviews the candidates they chose, Career Bridge does not do this part.

I used to deal with Career Bridge frequently in my professional position. They are very nice people and if you are curious about the number of internships they offer in Quebec I would suggest you ask them. It is unfortunate they do not have more positions to offer. Many people who successfully pass the English screening interview mistakenly believe they are close to a professional position, but Career Bridge only has a limited number of positions usually with very specific requirements.

Good luck with your job hunt.
