The conversation
that opens
doors in
Canadian tech

Most Canadian tech jobs are never posted publicly. They're filled through referrals, conversations, and relationships built before any job description is written. This playbook gets you into those conversations.

Why It Works

Most newcomers get this completely wrong

The informational interview is one of the most powerful tools in your job search — but only when you use it the right way.

01

They treat it like a job interview

Asking about openings, pitching themselves too early — it makes the other person uncomfortable and closes doors instead of opening them.

02

They forget it's a genuine conversation

The goal is to learn, listen, and leave an impression strong enough that your peer thinks of you when an opportunity comes up.

03

They skip the follow-up entirely

The relationship dies within 24 hours. A short, specific thank-you referencing one thing they said is the step most people miss.

The Playbook

A sneak peek at what's inside

Here are 3 of the 12 questions — each designed to signal something specific about you to a Canadian tech professional.

01
Trust & Integration
If someone is new to the team, what behaviours help them build trust quickly?
02
Unwritten Rules
What are some unspoken expectations on your team — things that help people succeed but aren't written anywhere?
03
Insider Insight
What do you wish you had known about Canadian tech culture when you first started here?
04
Performance
What would a strong developer need to demonstrate in their first 90 days at your company?
05
Growth & Skills
What skills or technologies do you see becoming more important for developers in Canada over the next year?
06
Cultural Adaptation
Is there anything you've noticed successful newcomers do differently when adjusting to the Canadian workplace?
