Share vacancies for AMEs and AME - apprentice

Where did you study?
I did at BCIT and am currently working as an apprentice AME in Winnipeg.
It's was really tough to find a job as an international student. It took me almost a year.
 
oh i studied at canadore college , northbay ontario. for me its 2 years .. still finding :(
 
Have you tried AVCanada website?
 
yeah i did , i got reply on friday asking me if i can relocate at my own expense, the same day i replied positive , now yesterday i was expecting their reply but didnt get any.. lets hope they contact soon ...

have u got any idea how they get back to u in this case?
 
I used to live in BC so I was looking for the companies in BC. However, most companies wanted to hire someone with a little bit of experience.
How can I get experience without being hired?

I started looking for jobs in other provinces but couldn't find one either. I came to know many apprentices start their career as a Ramp or Cargo attendant.
One day I received a phone call from the company that I am working for and it was for a Ramp attendant. I flew to Winnipeg, had an interview, and got hired two weeks after the interview.
I moved to Winnipeg from Vancouver at my own expense.

After working for three months as a cargo agent, I got transfered to maintennace department through an internal hiring process.

If you don't mind, try Ramp or Cargo jobs in an airline company, not for the aircraft ground service companies.

Persistence really works. It will pay off.
 
thanks alot for sharing your experience :) it's really motivating for me ,

i didnt understand "I flew to Winnipeg, had an interview, and got hired two weeks after the interview."

did you have to go all the way winnipeg just for the interview ?

and you are right how can we have experience without getting hired ..
