In response to a few recent questions from @Edumcgill graduate students about job-related issues, I just wanted to post a few links related to seeking out employment after graduation (mainly in Canada). /thread

If you're looking for academic jobs, these three Canadian sites are helpful (UA & Academica permit job alert emails):

(1) https://www.academicwork.ca  ( @CAUT_ACPPU)
(2) https://www.universityaffairs.ca/search-job/  ( @UA_magazine)
(3) https://academicacareers.com/  ( @AcademicaTopTen)

However, as 4-yr colleges may not advertise positions on these sites, you may need to search out all post-sec institutions in your preferred area (e.g. BC: https://www.postsecondarybc.ca ) and regularly check their HR sites directly (e.g. @langaracollege: https://langara.wd10.myworkdayjobs.com/External_Employment_Opportunities).

I would also recommend getting on the mailing lists for associations that can provide info about post-doc opportunities and academic jobs (e.g. educational psychology: @APADivision15; @earli_office; @AERA_EdResearch SIGs/Divisions, such as @AERADivC @AERA_MotSIG).

If you are looking for a uni staff job (not a faculty position) you can search HR sites for specific unis (e.g. @UAlberta: https://www.careers.ualberta.ca/All/?o=8 ); some have separate sites for academic vs staff jobs (e.g. @UBC faculty: https://hr.ubc.ca/careers-and-job-postings/faculty-careers/faculty-career-postings; staff: https://hr.ubc.ca/careers-and-job-postings/staff-careers/staff-career-postings).

If you are looking for government work, the Canadian federal website is here: https://emploisfp-psjobs.cfp-psc.gc.ca/psrs-srfp/applicant/page2440?fromMenu=true. There are also Canadian government programs specifically trying to recruit post-secondary graduates: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-service-commission/jobs/services/recruitment/graduates.html

You can also look up Canadian jobs in provincial governments (e.g. research analyst positions in Ministries of Education that are province-specific) on separate jobs website for each province (e.g. @BCGovtJobs: https://bcpublicservice.hua.hrsmart.com/hr/ats/JobSearch/index).

There are also specific ministries that have their own HR sites (e.g. @BCHRCommission: https://bchumanrights.ca/careers ) and orgs affiliated with both provincial governments and academic institutions that regularly hire graduate degree holders (e.g. @BCcampus: https://bccampus.ca/about-us/careers)

If you are interested in non-academic work, a LinkedIn profile might help (e.g. recent grad R Maymon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-maymon-phd-a70523153); a free blog with your CV that describes your work can also be useful for non/academic options (e.g. recent grad J Ranellucci: https://ranellucci.wordpress.com )

There are various sites for non-academic jobs, with @Glassdoor being recommended by former students. @LinkedIn can also be searched for jobs, but watch for outdated/repeated postings on each site (e.g. these sites crawl others and can automatically re-post expired/filled ads).

Be sure to check out online resources for securing employment after grad school (e.g. @BeyondProf: https://beyondprof.com ; @AdocTM: https://en.adoc-tm.ca ) with professional consultants like @FromPhDtoLife providing valuable expertise on translating grad skills to the workplace

As I am most definitely leaving out other advice/sites/resources that could be helpful for grad students starting to look into academic or non-academic employment options after graduation, please feel free to RT and reply to offer further recommendations :)
