Preview Careers

Preview Careers was a Vancouver startup helping university students work out what to do with their degrees after graduation. It ran career services for students and, from January 2019, interview simulations where students practised with real hiring managers. Co-founder Jennifer Chan built it out of her own experience as an unfocused undergraduate.

About

Preview Careers set out to close the gap between a degree and a job: career services aimed at students who had finished a programme without a clear route into work, and interview simulations that put them in front of real hiring managers to practise. Jennifer Chan co-founded it in Vancouver and told the TechVancouver stage in January 2019 that she had built it out of her own transcript — nearly 140 credits across eighteen subjects and no obvious career at the end of it. The company was built customer-first: Chan surveyed students on campus, put a sign-up page on Wix, and ran more than 140 customer discovery interviews with a team of three before building features. She spoke about what a generalist brings to founding a company, and where breadth stops being enough.
