How would you describe your current LinkedIn profile and online presence?

I don't have a LinkedIn profile or my profile is outdated and incomplete. I have a profile, but it mirrors my résumé without much personality or engagement. My profile is updated with accomplishments and I occasionally share or comment on industry content. My profile is polished, keyword-optimized, and I actively build connections and share industry insights.

When applying for jobs, how do you typically approach your cover letter and résumé?

I use the same generic cover letter and résumé for most positions. I make minor adjustments, but don't do deep research on each company. I customize my materials for each role and research the company beforehand. I thoroughly research each company, tailor every word, and mirror job posting language in my materials.

How prepared do you feel for job interviews in Canada?

I wing it—I don't prepare much and hope things go well. I do some research and think about answers, but don't practice or prepare specific examples. I research the company, prepare examples, and practice some answers beforehand. I use the STAR method, research thoroughly, prepare quantifiable examples, and practice aloud.

How actively do you build and leverage professional networks for job opportunities?

I rely mostly on online job boards and don't network much. I occasionally attend events or connect with people, but don't follow up consistently. I actively attend industry events and maintain some professional relationships. I regularly build genuine connections, attend industry events, and maintain relationships strategically.
