CAPS Job Listings

You are eligible to access our job listings database if you are a current full-time and part-time student of any McGill graduate degree program. To register for access first you need to have been manually registered at the CAPS office (suite 2200, William Brown Building, 3600 McTavish Street.) or at MECC (FDA 20) if you are an Engineering or Computer Science student.

Take advantage of the hundreds of opportunities that employers offer to graduate students everyday. Just remember, 85% of all jobs are not advertised but obtained through your network, so spend most of your time getting referrals and doing career research, going on informational interviews and staying connected!
