On April 11, we went to Metro Toronto Convention Center Job Fair. Joseph worked there as a volunteer who welcomed us by the elevator when we went downstairs. Then we hung the badge and had a bag with some documents.At first, we went to the exhibition hall. There are some stalls. Most of them are colleges or universities and training agency. I think that most people came there today should be immigrants who need jobs. Maybe the organizers held the conference that made the immigrants to melt the society as soon as possible. Then I went to meeting room to listen to the session. There are one host and five guest speakers. I felt the session liked a workshop we have studied. Self introduction and some small talk are the way to contact people. The guest speakers are immigrants who are successful now. They told us that the language is important and education opens a door to your career. Yes, I know, but learning English well is a hard procedure. At last, One guest speaker, Diana Chan gave us a presentation about be social to get noticed. She said LinkedIn is now the popular application in the world. And your profile must be profession. You should connect more people that you can. Maybe someone in you circle will give you the opportunity you need.
