The SES Online Job Board can also be accessed by downloading the smartphone app, 'Symplicity Jobs and Careers'
- Assistance with resume review and development, cover letter review or creation, interview preparation through direct contact with SES Coordinators.
- Information about potential employers, job search tools, and labour market trends.
- Online information sessions that include recent and relevant information on employment related topics.
As a Sask Polytech student or alumni, you can book an appointment with one of our Student Employment Services team members to discuss any of these job-related topics listed above.
If you prefer to book an appointment by phone or email, please contact us.
Career Fairs
For Students
The Career Fair will be an excellent opportunity to enhance your networking skills, meet with professionals in a wide array of fields, obtain invaluable information early in your job search, and learn more about the work world and potential areas of employment. Check out the list of registered employers when registration begins and start researching them.
Meet employers, make an impression, get the job
There are many ways to network and make an impression with employers throughout the year. Be prepared to meet virtually or in person with employers through lunch and learns, presentations and interviews in a whole new way. A combination or hybrid of virtual and in person career fairs and events will be the new norm.
Tips for students to get the most out of the career fair
