Canadian Job Search Podcast

Welcome back to the Canadian Job Search Podcast.

It's been a while since our last interview, and I wanted to take the opportunity to share this amazing app that has been helping newcomers and students launch their careers in the service industry.

In this episode, I talk with Stephanie and Alexander, both co-founders of Swob Inc., an award-winning social recruitment platform.

In the show, we cover how SWOB came to be and how it's helping the industry easily connect employers and candidates.  

Listen to find out if SWOB is the right solution for you.

In this episode, Connel and I share insights on:

• Why Branding is the key to your career search and growth
