5. Job-Search Tools
The Internet is where supply meets demand in today's job market. Whether
you are looking for a specific job in a particular place, the chance to gain
some volunteer experience or simply want to scan jobs available in your field,
this section lists recruitment services that allow you to connect the dots to
your ideal job.
Remember, whether you are applying for a full-time job or a Canada Student
Loan, you will first need a Social Insurance Number - it's required for all paid
work, and we tell you where and how to apply.
Next, you may want to browse through Internet employment services to get a
sense of what's out there. For example, Job Bank is a
large, Web-based network that gives you access to more than 46,000 jobs,
with up to 2,000 new jobs posted daily. You can search by occupation,
geographic region or for student jobs.
If you don't have access to the Internet at home, you can go to your nearest
Service Canada Centre (SCC), or your school or library, and use
the computer there. SCCs can give you on-site employment counseling and
labour market information, as well as access to their extensive lists of job
opportunities. Service Canada Centres for youth (SCCY) are
open during the summer months to help students find employment. They offer
group information sessions on how to look for a job, write a résumé and
prepare for an interview. It's all here - start anywhere!
