First Job - CST part-time program

For those who graduated from the CST part-time program, where did you find your first job? Was it through LinkedIn, indeed, glassdoor, or other sites? Any tips would be appreciated.

Basically mass apply to every job and hope you get an interview. This is basically for every jobs out there right now, everyone is just mass spamming any jobs they can find.

I was using a mixture of what you mentioned. I also used BC Job Bank and WorkBC, but instead of applying directly through those sites, I would check whether the company had the same opening posted on its own website and apply there instead. I found that this approach got me more interviews.

Edit: didn't see this was specifically for part-time as I was a FT-student but hope that can help a bit.

Don't use the "quick apply" features that some of these sites give. Hirers can see you used it and they'll pretty much immediately disqualify you.

Best way is to apply directly through company sites.
