OSPE - The Voice - December 2017 - 14

news

what is an e3 and what are the
benefits of attending?
Every year, dozens of employers and skilled engineering candidates from across
Ontario come together at OSPE's Engineering Employer Events (E3's) for a day
of learning and job search networking. OSPE's E3's are the only engineeringspecific job fairs in the province to provide engineering professionals with an
opportunity to speak one-on-one with leaders and hiring managers from top-rated
engineering companies.
In addition to having the opportunity to discuss available positions, E3
participants have found the peer networking, opportunity to practice their
personal "elevator pitch", and be interviewed in a more informal setting to be
invaluable in helping to refine their skills and prepare for subsequent interviews.
This year, to help members put their best foot forward, OSPE began offering a
special two-hour workshop for job-seekers immediately prior to each job fair. Led
by current engineering managers and recruiters, these Career Quest workshops
gained quick popularity among our attendees. These workshops gave participants
an inside look into what hiring professionals are seeking in a potential candidate,
how to make a strong positive first impression, and how to increase their chances
of getting past the first interview.

This fall, OSPE was thrilled to partner with Transport Canada (TC) to host a
special series of E3's. The Transport Canada E3's connected junior and experienced
members from various disciplines with dozens of available federal positions
within Transport Canada, including Roadways, Aerospace, and Transport of
Dangerous Goods.
As well, OSPE offered a special E3 in partnership with the Ontario Association of
Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT). Now in its 2nd
year, the OSPE/OACETT joint-E3 brought together more than 300 professional
engineers, engineering graduates, technicians and technologists.

TesTImONIaLs
"The fact that we actually had a
chance to speak candidly with the
hiring manager was fantastic... This
is the helpful conversation every
candidate needs."
- Anon, E3 Ottawa
"An event like this is important to me
because it allows me the opportunity
to actually meet employers, meet
other engineers, start networking and
actually build myself a social circle
that will put me in hopefully the right
place at the right time to really kickstart my career."
- Daniel P, E3 Mississauga
"It's tough to talk to someone face-toface so that's why I think these events
are really nice. Because instead of
talking to a computer and submitting
your application online, you're
actually getting to talk to people."
- Negin B., E3 Mississauga
