Navigating job interviews can be challenging, no matter your experience level. The pressure to make a lasting impression on a potential employer can feel nerve-wracking, especially when competition is fierce. However, with the right preparation and mindset, you can confidently turn interviews into opportunities to shine and land the job you want.

We will look at the STAR method, a proven technique for answering both behavioral and competency-based interview questions in a structured, focused way that highlights your competencies across technical, hard, and soft skills, while bringing real examples of your strengths and problem-solving abilities to life.

This 90-minute session is designed to equip you with essential strategies to help you prepare effectively, speak directly to the job description and company needs, and articulate your experience, skills, and accomplishments with clarity and relevance.

Whether you’re preparing for your first interview, transitioning into a new field, or seeking advancement in your career, this session will help you:
· Be prepared and focused
· Learn to clearly and effectively share your professional achievements
· Increase confidence by harnessing the STAR method
· Immediately highlight success and value
· Make a strong and lasting impression on potential employers.

This workshop is not just about answering questions—it’s about building your confidence, presenting yourself authentically, and showcasing the value you bring to any role.

This session will wrap up with a 30-minute Q&A and an opportunity to book a one-on-one appointment with an Employment Counsellor. (Limited spots available!)

Vous ne savez pas si votre employeur respecte les normes du travail du Québec?

De nombreux travailleurs ignorent les droits, les protections et les recours auxquels ils ont accès lorsque des problèmes surviennent au travail.

Cet atelier s'adresse à toute personne qui gagne sa vie au Québec, notamment les employés à temps plein, à temps partiel, les travailleurs saisonniers et, lorsque pertinent, les travailleurs contractuels.

À partir des ressources de la CNESST et de la Loi sur les normes du travail, nous aborderons :
✅ Les droits fondamentaux des travailleurs
✅ Les conditions minimales de travail (salaire, heures supplémentaires, vacances, congés de maladie et autres protections)
✅ La santé et la sécurité au travail (harcèlement, lésions professionnelles, maladies professionnelles et obligations de l'employeur)
✅ Les protections en fin d'emploi (congédiement injustifié, congédiement déguisé et recours possibles)
✅ Le dépôt d'une plainte auprès de la CNESST ou du tribunal compétent

À la fin de l'atelier, vous comprendrez vos droits au travail, saurez reconnaître lorsqu'ils ne sont pas respectés et connaîtrez les démarches à entreprendre.

Not sure whether your employer is following Quebec labour standards?

Many workers are unaware of the rights, protections, and recourse available to them when workplace issues arise.
This workshop is built for anyone earning a living in Quebec, including full-time employees, part-time workers, seasonal staff, and (where applicable) contract workers, who wants a clear, practical understanding of the rules that set the floor for how you're treated at work.

Drawing extensively on CNESST resources and the Act Respecting Labour Standards, we'll walk through:
✅ General worker rights and what the law guarantees regardless of your job title or schedule
✅ Minimum working conditions, including pay, overtime, annual vacation, sick leave, and related entitlements
✅ Workplace health and safety, including harassment, occupational disease, workplace injury, and employer obligations
✅ End-of-employment protections, including wrongful dismissal, constructive dismissal, and available recourse
✅ Filing a complaint with the CNESST or the relevant tribunal and what to expect throughout the process

By the end of the workshop, participants will know their baseline entitlements at work, recognize when those entitlements aren't being met, and understand exactly how to act on it.
