Advice on preparing your application
Matches are based on the quality of your application.

We look for the best fit between hosts and applicants. You are not guaranteed a match to a host.  

Applications are NOT considered on a first-come, first-served basis.

We suggest preparing your application outside this form so you can copy and paste your answers into the form.  

To complete the form:

1. Read the host job shadow profile thoroughly and use the information in the profile (not just the job title) to make your application match what they have to offer.

2. We strongly suggest you provide a different answer for each host. Target your response for each host.

3. Ensure your response(s) are free of spelling and grammatical errors. Your host will see this response once you are matched, so be sure to make a professional first impression.

Alberta Health Services Hosts: If you are matched to a host at Alberta Health Services do you agree to obtain an up-to-date rubella vaccination and complete online confidentiality training on their website? *
I understand that I may be sharing my host with another job shadow participant. *
Some job shadow hosts take more than one job shadow participant on the same day, as indicated on their profiles. This allows for more applicants, like you, to benefit from this program. Once matches are complete, your information will be shared with your host and the other job shadow participants who are matched to that host.  This allows for more efficient communication and coordination of details between hosts and participants.
I understand that I require my own reliable transportation to access my host(s) location. *
The location of the job shadow is indicated in the job shadow host listings. If you cannot obtain transportation (by private vehicle or public transportation) to this location, please DO NOT choose this host.
I understand that I must be available to job shadow on the day(s) the host has listed as their availability. *
 You may or may not be able to negotiate the day(s) you want to job shadow so please do not choose a host whose availability does not match your own.
Would you like someone from the Career Centre to contact you regarding-accommodations or accessibility related needs (due to a permanent disability) to support your job shadow experience? *
If you are successfully matched, would you like to participate in a "social media takeover" and share your experience with our Instagram followers @ualbertacc? *
