Sure, it could be the fun events we host every month, or the laughter overheard in the hallway every day, or even the values we all share like teamwork, humility, fun and commitment. But it could also be the challenge and joy of working for a software company that is really going somewhere. Yes, it’s possible to love a job, especially when it loves you right back.
We specialize in developing operations software, called Helm Marine Operations™, which is implemented in tugboat and barge companies across the world, and right at home here on Vancouver Island.

By continually finding innovative ways to enhance the consumer experience and cater to an expanding array of tastes, we've evolved from a single small brewery in London, Ontario to become a truly national brewer.
Today, our people, our locations and our brands are as diverse as the country itself. With a portfolio of 60 quality beers and breweries from coast to coast, Labatt proudly employs 3,000 Canadians. Together, we are the brewers in Canada's backyard, and unequivocally committed to every community where we do business.
Sales Development Program (SDP) Overview
At AB InBev, we believe in investing in our future leaders today. The Sales Development Program is an intensive 8 month rotational training program which attracts the brightest, most driven graduates and nurtures their talent by giving relevant experiences right from the start. Our goal is to find people who can take on challenging positions early on in their career and who have the potential to become our future leaders. We achieve this by putting the successful candidates through an intensive training program before their first role, where they will gain insight into every aspect of the commercial business.
SDP Program Details:
1 week of induction training on the company's culture, strategy and structure. In this phase, you will get exposure to our Zone Management Team and you will meet with current and past SDP employees.
4 weeks of induction training on the front office where you will gain a thorough understanding of the roles of each department within the commercial organization and their interactions with each other.
1 week field sales training where you will gain field experience in order to understand the Labatt Sales Process as well as every day operations.
6 months project assignment in Sales where you will get practical experience that increases the effectiveness of the business. This position will be dependent on your abilities, interests, mobility and opportunities in the organization (Field Sales, Sales Intelligence, Customer Marketing, Sales Operations Management, Commercial Finance)
Exposure to senior leaders throughout the training period.
Upon successful completion of the 8 month rotational program, you will take on an entry-level position in any department within the commercial organization (e.g. sales merchandiser, sales representative, finance analyst, sales intelligence analyst, etc…) You will also receive a mentor from the executive team when you start in your first position.
After 12-18 months, if you perform well, we expect you to be ready to take on your next challenge in a more senior management role in the commercial organization.
You own your future, and the speed of your career growth will depend on your talent, efforts and results.

- Print some résumés and prepare any other material you want to bring along (business cards, examples of your work, etc)
During the fair
- Wait your turn in line
- Introduce yourself, offer a handshake and ask your questions
- Allow time for the employer to respond and listen
- Take notes
- Ask the employer for a business card
- Ask if you can call the employer to follow up
- Find out if the employer plans to hire in the future
- Thank everyone you speak with
- Record the information you collect for future reference, especially the names, positions and contact information of the people you meet at the fair
After the fair
- Send a thank you note to those you met at the fair
- If there appeared to be immediate or future employment opportunities with a company, send your résumé and cover letter and make reference to meeting at the fair
Sample questions to ask employers
- How does one enter this field? How did you enter it? What are typical entry-level jobs like?
- What skills (aptitudes, interests, and personal characteristics) are important for this work?
- What is (are) the most relevant major(s) for this work?
- What are the educational/training requirements?
- Are there any specific courses you recommend that I take?
- Would I need more than an undergraduate degree for employment or advancement?
- What are the prospects for this work in Victoria? What are the prospects elsewhere?
- What kinds of positions will you be recruiting for and from which academic backgrounds?
- Do you hire students for the summer (or co-op work terms)?
- When and how do you advertise your available positions?
- Do you have any advice for someone who is interested in working in the field?

- Could you suggest any volunteer work that might help me gain experience in this area?
- What is the culture like at your workplace?
- What do you like most about your work? What, if anything, do you not like?
How to introduce yourself
An effective introduction includes your name and some information about yourself. Here is a sample introduction:
'Good morning. My name is [name] (pause for handshake). I am working on [degree] and I am looking for information about work in the area of [your area of interest]. I read on your website that you have internships for new graduates interested in this area. I would be interested in applying for one of those internships.'
At this point you and the recruiter will have a brief conversation, during which you can ask some questions about the internship or the organization. You will find out more about the application process, and possibly leave your résumé with the recruiter.Exhibitors

How to make the most of the fair
How can you make the most out of your time at the fair? We’ve put together some tips:
- Make sure your company or organization name and logo are clearly visible.
- Be clear about whom you wish to recruit.
- Have enough staff at your booth to be able to answer questions and receive résumés.
- Be available. Turn off cell phones, PDAs, Blackberries and other devices while at your booth. Students are unlikely to approach you if you look busy.
- Make eye contact and smile. Students are more likely to approach if they feel welcomed.
- Acknowledge students who are waiting to approach your booth.
- Staff your booth with interested, pleasant, professional representatives. This is more important than fancy or complex displays.
- If you bring swag or giveaways, make sure it is something that students will use (bringing giveaways is not mandatory).

We are excited to announce the opportunity to apply for our business manager position for the summer of 2013. This will count toward a required coop credit. We are currently looking to fill positions throughout the province for the summer 2013 work-term, you can check out our posting on the learning-in-motion website ( https://learninginmotion.uvic.ca/home.htm – Posting ID: 93442). The deadline for application is October 30th.
As a University First Class Painting manager you would be among a select few of the brightest and most talented students across Canada. The position does require a lot of work but is also extremely rewarding. This past summer, we had 26 students working with us here in BC. Our average student ran their business for four months (May-September 1st) and had average earnings of $16,800. When compared to the average university student’s summer earnings of $3,200, we are very proud of the success that our managers achieve. That being said, the financial success does not come easy (and if it did everyone would be doing it) and our students work extremely hard to learn the business and work with our management team to become an efficient business owner. We do not pursue only business students for this position but being business minded definitely helps. The main two attributes that we look for in students are a good work ethic and common sense (which is not so common).
As a manager you would be responsible for the day to day operations of the business and our management team assists you through every step of your business life. We know what it takes to run a successful painting company (30 years in business) and it is through this knowledge that we enable our students to be successful.
If this sounds like a challenge that might be for you, please sign up for this information session on campus, whereby we give you even more information on the position and the application process. There will also be Pizzas and refreshments at the information session for anyone attending.

Event day set-up
Please ensure your booth is assembled by 10 a.m. and is not disassembled until 3:00 p.m. Volunteers will be available to assist you throughout the day and help with set-up and dismantling of your booth.
You may set up the morning of the event between 8 and 9:30 a.m. Please unload your displays in one of the two loading zones located just outside the Student Union Building before parking your vehicle. Booths not occupied by 9:30 a.m. may be reassigned if needed.
Parking
Registration includes two general parking passes. If you have requested parking passes, you will receive them once you have checked in and picked up your registration package.
Tips for exhibitors
How can you make the most out of your time at the fair? We’ve put together some tips:
- Make sure your company or organization name and logo are clearly visible.
- Be clear about whom you wish to recruit.
- Have enough staff at your booth to be able to answer questions and receive résumés.
- Be available. Turn off cell phones, PDAs, Blackberries and other devices while at your booth. Students are unlikely to approach you if you look busy.
- Make eye contact and smile. Students are more likely to approach if they feel welcomed.
- Acknowledge students who are waiting to approach your booth.
- Staff your booth with interested, pleasant, professional representatives. This is more important than fancy or complex displays.
- If you bring swag or giveaways, make sure it is something that students will use (bringing giveaways is not mandatory).
Getting to campus
UVic is located in Victoria, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island. Depending on where you’re starting, there are different ways to get to campus.
Once you’re here, unload your displays in one of the two loading zones outside the Student Union Building. You can pick up your registration package along with your parking pass and we’ll direct you to parking from there.

However, the average acceptance rate for a U.S. or Canadian medical school is only 10%, which means 9 out of every 10 applicants will be rejected, most of them well qualified. In recent years, Foreign Medical Education has become a popular alternate route to obtaining a MD degree and becoming a licensed physician in the United States or Canada.
The International American University - College of Medicine would like to cordially invite you to join us for our information seminar on Foreign Medical Education for students considering study abroad.

Lime Connect Canada's Corporate Recruitment Event for Experienced People with Disabilities
Application Deadline: Wednesday, May 31, 2011
Lime Connect Canada (Lime Canada) is a not for profit organization founded in 2009 that uses a fresh, results-oriented approach to connect people with disabilities and global corporations as an untapped source of talent. Our initial focus has been on working with campuses where our corporate partners have proven hiring success to connect them with talented students who happen to have disabilities – students they would likely not have access to otherwise – for summer internships and full time positions.
Lateral recruiting is a key talent acquisition component for our partners, and Lime Connect Canada also targets experienced, talented people with disabilities who are seeking career advancement. BMO Financial Group, Google, IBM Canada, PepsiCo, RBC and TD Bank Financial Group have worked with Lime Canada to integrate disability as a full component of their overall diversity strategy, and value the intellectual capital that is found in people with disabilities. You won't want to miss this opportunity to network one-on-one and develop relationships with corporate execs and recruiters who are seeking to hire, and to potentially speak privately one-on-one at the event for current openings. We put talent first, and this is no "job fair."
By the way, we know that one in five people globally has a disability, and that the large majority of disabilities are invisible - including ADD, dyslexia, depression, medical conditions and many others – and all individuals with disabilities are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.
Date: Wednesday, June 8, 2011
Time: 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Format: Cocktail reception with brief panel discussion and potential private one-on-ones
Dress: Business/business casual
Location: Downtown Toronto
Opportunities: More than 50 current openings include a wide variety of positions in finance, technology, consulting, marketing/sales, operations, management and more
To apply to attend/RSVP, and to check out all professional opportunities available with our partners (ie. you don't necessarily need to go to Toronto!), go to: http://www.limeconnect.com/opportunities/page/opportunities-for-experienced-professionals today. All candidates will apply via The Lime Network – our exclusive resource for candidates with disabilities.
***Please note that space is limited because of the event format. If your background matches our partners' current needs, we will send you an official invitation and details of the event in advance.

Le Service canadien des forêts - Plus que des arbres!
Le Centre de foresterie du Pacifique de Ressources naturelles Canada offre l’occasion aux étudiants de l’UVic de faire une visite guidée des installations. Le Centre fait des recommandations d’actualité, utiles et rigoureuses sur le plan scientifique qui s’appliquent à des questions d’intérêt national, comme les feux de végétation, les changements climatiques, les insectes forestiers envahissants, les maladies et la position concurrentielle de l’industrie forestière.
Les étudiants qui étudient la biologie, les sciences informatiques, l’entomologie et les systèmes d’information géographique, de même que toute personne qui s’intéresse aux ressources naturelles, découvriront les activités scientifiques importantes et intéressantes sont menées lieu au Centre de foresterie du Pacifique.
Les participants pourront visiter les lieux suivants :
L’herbier: - Les champignons! Géré par Brenda Callan (Ph. D.), l’Herbier de pathologie forestière du Centre de foresterie du Pacifique est d’une renommée mondiale car il abrite une collection préservée et cataloguée de plus de 35 300 champignons forestiers et échantillons de maladies, et il compte plus de 3 000 espèces de champignons.
L’insectarium: - Les bibittes! Leland Humble (Ph. D.) et d’autres entomologistes de l’insectarium étudient les insectes forestiers indigènes ou introduits afin de les identifier, de comprendre leur incidence sur le milieu, d’apprendre leur cycle de vie et de mettre au point des outils permettant de détecter les espèces envahissantes. L’installation abrite des milliers d’échantillons d’insectes indigènes et non indigènes qui datent d’un siècle.
Système national d'information sur les forêts (SNIF): - Le Web 2.0! Le SNIF offre des outils en ligne, allant d’un simple portait à des analyses complexes englobant des réseaux à la grandeur du pays auxquels les utilisateurs peuvent accéder n’importe où dans le monde. Brian Low expliquera comment les utilisateurs peuvent découvrir, intégrer et afficher de l’information sur les forêts du Canada qui est non seulement actuelle et précise, mais qui fait autorité. Cette présentation intéressera les étudiants en ressources naturelles, en géomatique, en génie et en sciences informatiques.

Le Centre pour la défense des végétaux effectue des dépistages de virus, offre des traitements et développe des technologies contre les virus et les pathogènes apparentés qui infectent les vignes, les fruits des arbres et d’autres produits cultivés. Il effectue des essais sur les plantes au point d’entrée du pays afin d’assurer l’importation sécuritaire des plantes cultivées interdites.
Domaines principaux de recherche:
- Le Centre effectue des tests sur les plantes avant et après qu’elles entrent au pays, et il met en quarantaine tous les arbres fruitiers, vignes et plantes ornementales ligneuses importés si le pays exportateur n’émet pas de certificat qui atteste de leur bonne santé.
- Il teste les sélections prometteuses d’arbres fruitiers et de vignes pour s’assurer que des virus potentiels n’infectent pas les premières livraisons destinées à l’industrie.
- Il élimine les infections virales dans les clones précieux d’arbres fruitiers, de vignes et de plantes ornementales par thermothérapie
- Il vérifie la fiabilité des programmes de certification étrangers reconnus en procédant à des essais sur des échantillons de plantes provenant de cargaisons commerciales importées pour déterminer s’il y une infection virale.
