I recently attended a job fair in Vancouver, Canada, with high hopes of finding new opportunities, but it turned out to be a lot different than I expected. From long waiting times to recruiters simply redirecting me to company websites—something I could’ve done from home—it felt less like a real hiring event and more like an employer branding exercise. If you’re new to Canada or planning to attend a job fair here, this video will give you a candid look at what you can really expect.
In this video, I talk about:
The long waits and disorganization I experienced.
How recruiters seemed more interested in showcasing company culture than hiring.
Why it felt more like a networking event than a place to find a job.
I also share some tips on what to consider before attending a job fair in Vancouver and whether it’s worth your time as a job seeker in Canada.
