hello guys assam alaikum welcome to our channel
travel with sophia where we post about canadian immigration and our life in canada vlogs with
three kids so today's video is part two of uh digital marketing career in canada and which
you all have requested i got a lot of messages and so finally i'm making this video if you
haven't watched part one of the digital marketing career in canada so you can watch it here i'll
also put the link in the description down below and as you all know as you've seen in my video
it's it was a short course of eight months studies and four months co-op position so yes
co-op is a mandatory thing that you have to do a program comes with a co-op otherwise you can
opt for a program that doesn't come with a co-op but i would say co-op is
always a good idea because that your college strives they provide you a platform
to get you that co-op position and believe me that four months co-op position it might not even
pay you or like whatever pay you very little but it will give you that experience it will give
you that push out of the door and where you might be in an impostor syndrome or you feel you would
feel that you know you don't know nothing or the employers feel that you know nothing so it's
both ways but during this co-op the employers also know that they are paying very little and you
also know that you are being treated as a student do everything you have to do everything that you
that will make you gain that experience and so it was a positive positive positive experience in
my case and in my classmates experiences as well some students have achieved good positions in in
in the industry because they had prior experience they had prior um education so we all are getting
there some of us have to start low from basic um i would say junior positions and some of us
have landed jobs in an agency some are with brands some are with retail companies and some
are in banks so these are the major industries that we have been placed into your first and
foremost uh place where you would look for your look for your job after your co-op position
would be linkedin and this i'm saying for from the perspective of all the courses that
you take any program that you take in canada and after that when you are on your own looking
for a job after your course finishes your program finishes any job in any field or industry but
since this video is about digital marketing and i'm sharing my experience here so i am going
to tell you how did i go after finishing this program from george brown college like basically
all of us tried linkedin and linkedin is very very active in canada i don't know from i don't know
from where you coming it is active or not but in canada when you when you even um email someone
an employer or a company uh with regards to a job posting that they have probably emailed or you've
heard from some reference friends they will go and they will check your linkedin profile that is
for sure and they might also check your social media profiles as well with your names so i would
say that don't indulge in any political religious debates any type of you know hate or violent
comments or any any any incidents like that well that's an extreme situation uh some might not
some employers might not do that but then again those are your public profiles so keep it you
know uh decent you know don't share information that you don't want your employers to find out
so that's one tip second tip is linkedin make those connections and once if you have linkedin
premium i think most of the employers companies not most half of them would allow you to
send them private messages or some people like you know they don't allow that option so for
linkedin premium you will get that edge but i have uh frankly i have not bought a linkedin premium
subscription so i am doing fine and i'm sure with the free version also you will be able to secure
a job now let me tell you about a second website that will help you in getting the job is which is
um indeed.ca and i would say that you will have to put in your location put in your ideal like your
job in your category probably marketing specialist or digital marketeer and put in that uh specific
location that city where you're looking for and i would say just leave it open uh just put it
for uh canada or ontario or probably toronto or whatever but usually these jobs are work from home
you can secure a work from home position as well still half of the offices half of the calls that
i received um interview calls that i received were hybrid like work from home and then the other half
were hybrid models so it was like once sorry once a week or twice a week uh coming to the office and
the rest of the days from home yes but when it is clubbed with social media marketing um you will
have to go to office because they expect you to um take the pictures they expect you to take
videos and all of that stuff however i'm working with an agency doing part-time hours with them
we attend meetings everything is happening online i'm doing everything from account handling to
strategizing their content calendar and monthly we do do their reporting social media analysis after
that so my job does not require me to go to office and i'm lucky in that sense because that
agency is in toronto and i'm an oakwell well i it's not that far uh in in no traffic
hours i would say off peak hours uh it usually takes around 35 40 minutes from my home to toronto
but uh during rush hours and believe me people who who live in toronto themselves they are very
um you know they avoid traffic in those rush hours third website that would help you in
securing a job would be monster.ca zip recruiter and there are so many local recruitment agencies
as well which you will come to know when you come to canada you will find our alters recruitment
you will find all the names here marketeers on demand there is always recruitment that is
fish recruit and so on and so forth and the type of work that you can do in this industry
is full-time hours you can do part-time hours you can do you can work as a freelance or you can
also open up your own digital marketing agency you can open up your own business and registering a
business is very easy that is a separate topic and it it is not even that expensive and you can start
as a solopreneur and just start an agency and if you have that many links in the market i would
say start your own business because then there is no limit right i mean in your income so you can go
that route as well and it is for you to decide for full-time hours obviously you will be um on the
payroll and for part-time hours as well it really depends uh usually um or they will or if you are
working as a freelancer the employer the agency like for example for me it is i'm i'm i'm labeled
as a contractor and i don't get any benefits from this company but then you know i work part-time
hours with this and as a digital media marketer so this is how it goes and uh now coming to
the salary question which is obviously going to be your um i would start uh receiving this in
comments that you have not shared the salary so i will um tell you that there are there are
usually ranges in canada for salaries for income and the range the the salary ranges are literally
like you know it it starts from 40 000 45 000 cad annually and it goes up to i would say 85
000 this is for the uh for the positions that i am it really depends upon the organization it
really depends upon the employer how big or how small the business is like for example there
are agencies who give for medical writers or for people in the pharmaceutical field in the
marketing field they give good salaries here and i would say that you though those ranges
usually start from around 70 000 cad annually and it goes up to 100 000 k and i can't
stress enough that it really depends upon the company and your experience as well and
the salary is paid by weekly as you all know that salaries in canada are usually paid
bi-weekly so this is how it works here and that's about it thank you so much for watching
this video and do you and if you have any other questions related to digital media marketing
