In a word, yes.

Read Surrey Expat's excellent Wiki article called Scouting Trip-Canada, especially the section entitled Working and Networking.

Sort of..........would be better if you can phone them beforehand, tell them you're coming out between x and x, and ask if you can meet with them. If you just hand out resumes while you're over there you might miss an opportunity - somebody in charge of hiring might be away for example.

Have you looked at the Wiki and read all of the numerous articles on job hunting? If not then grab a cuppa and start reading!! Best of luck, hope you get some positive responses from potential employers. :)

Hi

We are off to NS next week and we blitzed what seemed most of NS companies in our respectives trades with our resume's. :D

We have had 3 replies with meetings arranged whilst we are over, so I would agree that you contact potential employers before going aswell as taking resume's with you to hand out/visit potential employers with.

Good luck!:thumbsup:

Re: our first trip in june
 

would you recomend calling them, and asking for th eperson who does the hireing, ????

Re: our first trip in june
 

I haven't done this, but I know lots of people on BE have emailed resume's and then followed it up with a phone call and this in some instances has bought a positive response.:)
