Job Search

Searching for a job is hard work, especially in this competitive market. Often, when we are focused on looking for work, we concentrate on only one area of the process such as searching for jobs in the newspaper or sending out resumes. Instead, we need to look at our job search in a strategic manner. It is important to decide what tools will help you with your goal of obtaining a job. 

Seeking professional help can be the first step in creating an effective plan. Employment resource centres like Career Connection have trained staff that can help answer any questions you may have about your job search.  We can help you understand the “hidden job market”. You can also choose to go through the process on your own by using the resources available in our centre. You will have access to computers, fax machines, phones, labour market materials, and library books. If you need more assistance, we offer services such as resume and cover letter critiques. Exploring more areas in this section is also another great way to help yourself!
