Third party recruiters are defined as agencies, organizations, or individuals recruiting candidates for temporary, part-time, or full-time employment on behalf of others and not for their own needs. Placement agencies and employers who hire on behalf of privately owned schools, for teaching positions abroad, are considered third-party recruiters. In some case, third-party recruiters charge students a fee for processing their applications. The Canadian Association of Career Educators and Employers (CACEE) provides guidelines for third-party recruiters to best meet the needs of students, employers and career educators.

The York University Career Centre requires third-party recruiters (agencies, organizations or individuals recruiting candidates for employment opportunities with other organizations) to identify their employer clients, so as to determine that the position listed is an actual opportunity and that it does not duplicate a position already listed with the Career Centre. This information will be held in confidence and not released to candidates unless authorized by the third party recruiter. Should the third party recruiter be unable or unwilling to provide the name of the employer or client, the position will not be accepted for listing.

Candidates' resumes collected for positions posted through Career Centre must not be held in the files of the third party recruiter for later referral to other positions unless authorized by the candidate.

York University Career Centre requires any employers which charge a fee for their services (including training, police checks, start-up costs, application fees, membership fees etc.) to disclose their fees and clearly state them on any job postings.

These kinds of opportunities usually involve one or more of the following characteristics:

• Offer no salary but, instead, offer students the opportunity to run their own businesses or franchises

• Offer compensation that is based mostly on commission rather than a salary

• Require the payment of “up front” fees for training and/or materials to enable the student to start up his/her own business

• Charge the students penalties or fees for services if the franchisee decides to leave the program

For these opportunities to be approved by the Career Centre, all the initial investments, such as licensing, administration or similar fees, requested from applicants, must be indicated in the job posting.

Many students run successful businesses through these opportunities, but there are those who incur unexpected liabilities and find themselves in debt. Naturally, we would like to minimize the occurrence of such negative scenarios and ensure that our students are well informed about the potential risks and rewards of these kinds of opportunities. Therefore, if you want to publicize your commission-based or franchise opportunities, we require that you do the following:

Under "Job Type", select "Commission/Franchise Opportunity"

In the "Description" section, ensure that you make clear the characteristics of your opportunity by including the following statements where applicable (you can edit them according to your particular situation):

• There is no salary for this opportunity. You will make money based on commissions that you receive from sales.

• There is no salary for this opportunity. All persons who work with our organization will be self-employed and will earn money if they make a profit when running their own businesses.

• You will be required to pay fees for training and materials before you can start working with us.

• If you decide to leave the program, you may be liable to pay fees and/or financial penalties.

We reserve the right to edit your description and to remove your posting if these rules are not followed. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

Hello! I'm Jeanne. I am down-to-earth, quick to laugh, love hearing life stories and singing my heart out!  

For those who feel lost in your career, that was me in my 20's. I didn't find myself until... wait for it... I was sent to a career counsellor. There, I saw how I could help people reach their full potential, using my people skills and life experience. 

Within a year, I earned my Career and Work Counsellor diploma and landed a job in a non-profit employment agency. When I decided I wanted to help university students find careers they'll love, I began a job search advisor position at York’s Career Centre, and started my Master’s in Counselling Psychology, part-time. When I graduated in 2011, a career counsellor position opened at the Career Centre, and I happily stepped into my dream job! 

My career advice to you is to remain open, curious and reflective on your journey. Remember that everything works out in the end. And if it hasn’t, then it’s not the end! (John Lennon, adapted from an old Indian proverb) 

This is Roma here.  

Who Am I? I’m still finding it out. Every-day learning is fun and makes life fascinating. I've visited 30 countries, lived in five of them, and moved 25 times! I love sun, ocean and beautiful beaches (Waikiki is my favorite). I’ve played many roles in life. The best one is being mum to my amazing son.  

I am an experienced educator and career counsellor with more than 20 years of experience working with students who, like me, are trying to find out who they are.  

I hold a Master of Education in Counselling and Educational Psychology from McGill University and Master of Arts in Pedagogy and Foster Care obtained in Poland.  

Passions, I have plenty (dogs, making art, yoga). Regrets, only few (not following my bliss, but that's my secret). I see the necessity and beauty in bringing people together and inspiring each other to improve the social fabric of societies.

My motto: "Nothing is impossible; the word itself says 'I’m possible!'" — Audrey Hepburn 

Welcome! I am an experienced career counsellor and I enjoy working with York students and recent graduates who are seeking help with their academic and career exploration. I provide a holistic approach, and my areas of interest include supporting students with disabilities transitioning from school to work, helping mature students achieve their academic and career goals and supporting PhD students with navigating their career path outside of academia.

I hold a Master of Education Counselling Psychology degree and I am a registered member with CCPA and CRPO. Outside of work, I enjoy practicing yoga and dedicating time to purpose-driven causes in my community. 

I am a career professional with nearly a decade of experience providing career, co-op placement and employment advising to students in a fast-paced post-secondary environment. In my current position as a career educator at the York University Career Centre, I educate students with the best of strategies and insights on how to navigate the world of work.  

My academic background includes a Canadian equivalent BA in English Honours spanning three years, complemented by a Bachelor of Education (BEd) obtained in India. I am also a graduate of the Career Development Practitioner Postgraduate program from George Brown College in Toronto, and an award-recipient of the 'Excellence in Counselling' Award 2014. 

As someone deeply involved in the realm of career development, I find great resonance in the words of Steve Jobs: "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do."

Hi Lions! My name is Tal, I appreciate and am fascinated by the diversity of York students who come to the Career Centre. I approach each student with curiosity, professionalism, and enthusiasm. With five years of experience in the career development industry, I bring a post-graduate diploma in Career Development from George Brown College and a bachelor of arts with a specialization in Psychology from Western University to my work.  

In the last year, I have been working on two special projects: (1) with the Lassonde School of Engineering and (2) overseeing the Work/Study students in the Career Lounge.  

I love to help students develop and elevate their professional brand and articulate their accomplishments to reach their career goals. When I’m not working, I train in squash, take lessons in guitar, rest, hike and hang out with friends and family.  

My favorite quote is: "Be like a tree and grow slowly while helping those around you grow too."
