Student Employment

Taking on a full-time or part-time student job while you are still in school gives you income and experience on the job market. It is also an excellent way to develop skills and establish professional contacts.

To increase your chances of quickly finding a job that matches your criteria, you need to be well prepared before you start applying.

Before you begin your job search, it is important to identify

• your strengths and your skills
• the area of employment that interests you
• your criteria (salary, remote working, etc.)
• desired schedule (full-time or part-time).

You'll need a résumé and a cover letter. In some cases, a portfolio will be required. To find out how to write these documents, see the Job Search Tips Section.

The Québec emploi website is the Québec government's job site. This tool can help you find a job or paid internship in a private company or organization.

On this platform, you can

• submit your application to employers
• search job listings
• apply online for student jobs and internships
• create your profile to see available jobs or internships that match your search criteria.
