BioTalent Canada\u2019s website is a smart starting point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The BioSkills Recognition Program helps internationally trained professionals bridge any gaps and meet Canadian standards. The program will recognize your competencies and connect you with employers within the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can participate in this program if you can legally work in Canada and know English fluently. While still in your home country, you can start the process by listing a summary of your competencies, credentials, and skills, and once you arrive in Canada, you may be asked to do a practical test observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your skills are recognized, you will be informed that you are BioReadyTM: that means you have demonstrated the required skills for a specific job function and have the competencies to work in the Canadian biotech industry. If for some reason, your skills are not recognized, you will be informed on how to upgrade your skills and join the program afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also take an online BioSynergy Program that helps you integrate into the workplace. The program includes modules on effective communication, building interpersonal relationships, lifelong learning, and leadership skills. If you want a mentor, you can access a coaching module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-credentials-assessment-services-nbsp-nbsp\">Credentials Assessment Services&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to enroll in a college or university program to upgrade your skills, contact the school that you plan to attend.

When searching for biotechnology jobs, consider these tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>Broaden your search and include alternative biotechnology careers and sectors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>Seek a mentor in the biotechnology sector, such as a retired biotechnology professional, who would give you valuable insights and advice, and probably introduce you to their professional network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>Join business-related job-finding or networking clubs through immigrant-serving agencies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>Attend industry job fairs and regularly check job boards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>Ask your contacts in the industry for help. Let them know you are job searching and would like to make industry connections. If someone well-established in biotech can forward your resume to a potential employer (instead of you forwarding it yourself), that gives you a leg up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list change-bulletColor\">\n<li>Check out BioTalent Canada\u2019s job bank called&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biotalent.ca\/the-petridish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The PetriDish<\/a>.

One way to do this is by requesting an \u201cinformational interview.\u201d This is a brief (20\u201330-minute) meeting that you schedule with a person who is currently working in the biotechnology industry to learn more about the field in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Informational interviewing can be a great way to put your communication, research, and interpersonal skills into practice for your job search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should&nbsp;<em>not<\/em>&nbsp;try to get a job during an informational interview but rather find out whether a particular position or employer might be a good fit for you. An informational interview with a contact from your network can be a great source of career information. In addition to basic information about a particular type of industry (such as you might find on a company website), it also offers you the benefit of a professional\u2019s first-hand experiences and impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make a list of the biotechnology companies that operate in your area. Then, use professional organizations, LinkedIn, and other networking resource tools to identify people that you can connect with to request an informational interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-biotechnology-career-networking-tips\">Biotechnology Career Networking Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Networking is a vital activity that can help you discover job leads, gain industry insights, and meet others in your field in Canada. And because many job vacancies are not advertised, people in your network can help you discover jobs in this \u201chidden job market.\u201d This also applies to biotechnology careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll benefit by meeting other professionals, building relationships, and sharing information, you might even hear about job opportunities you wouldn\u2019t have found online. It could even lead to a higher biotechnology salary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good places to network include conferences, professional associations, and online spaces such as LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a great site to reconnect with former colleagues and employers, search for companies and jobs that you have an interest in and make connections with others in your field. You can also join related professional groups.
