Finding the right opportunity is easier when you know what to search for, how to present your experience and how to recognize a trustworthy advertisement. These free guides provide practical information for job seekers at different stages of their careers.
Start with an ordinary job title, keyword or employer name and add the city, province or territory where you want to work. You do not need to know a NOC code. If a search is too narrow, try a related title or nearby location and always confirm the actual work location in the advertisement.
A clear resume and cover letter help an employer understand how your skills, education and experience relate to the position. Adjust your application for each opportunity, follow the advertised instructions and keep all information accurate.
Read the employer name, duties, wage, hours, work location, qualifications and application method before applying. Independently research unfamiliar employers. Never pay for a job offer, and do not provide banking information, passwords or sensitive identification simply to submit an application.
