    Networking is a great (probably the most important) tool for landing at dream jobs. 70% jobs are not listed online. They need to be grabbed through word-of-mouth. Hope it helps !

    Hi Emily, thanks for doing this video. I found it really informative as I am looking at Canada as my next place to work in the mountains. With covid and also post Brexit, its looking really hard to work in Europe now as a Brit and I know that the IEC/Working Holiday Visa gives you a longer period of stay. What is the work you do in Canada and whats your experience been like? Subscribed to your channel also, thanks Matt!

    Hi Matt! You’re so welcome-I’m glad you found it useful! 😊 The IEC visa really is brilliant. I don’t have much experience with mountain jobs, but I believe there is a large community of International seasonal workers in places like Whistler, Banff, etc.

    I just applied for my IEC at old age of 29 (it’s open until 35 for Irish Citz and I’m a dual national so I can get 4 years). I have to do biometrics in Paris as Dublin closed down and I’m in France anyway. Now it’s real, I’m slightly freaked but this video was very comforting

    How long roughly did it take for IEC to offer you an ITA (invitation to apply)? I've just recently become a candidate for the Working Holiday pool and my application status states I need to wait for an ITA... I've watched other vids on here saying it takes longer for applicants from the UK, so just wanted to know how long it took for you? Thank you in advance! :)
