Frequently asked questions
What exactly does 36paths do?
In ten words, we help you get a great finance job in Canada.
It is depressing that having paid tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition fees, many bright university students, international students in particular, end up being unemployed, simply because no one has taught them useful skills needed to succeed in the increasingly competitive job market.
We created 36paths to change that. You will learn from experienced finance professionals everything you need to land the best offer possible, from figuring out your career path and creating the perfect resume to effectively communicating with recruiters & hiring managers and nailing your upcoming interviews.
