How to find a job

There are many ways of looking for jobs. For example, you can:

•Visit websites of companies or organizations that hire people in your field of work and look for a list of available positions.

•Start registering with employment agencies by visiting there or online.

• Look through job search websites that have large databases of available jobs. Service Canada’s www.jobbank.gc.ca has a large job database as well as links to websites with other job databases.

• Look at the job advertisements in the classified section of your local newspaper.

• Develop a job search plan with the help of a settlement worker at a local immigrantserving organization.

• Attend a “job fair” taking place in your city or town. A job fair is a forum where employers and people looking for jobs can meet and discuss opportunities.

• Use the services of an “employment agency” that searches for jobs on your behalf (for lists, consult the Yellow Pages or search the Internet). For lists of government employment services and training assistance, go to www.jobsetc.gc.ca, call or visit a Service Canada Centre near you (for telephone numbers and locations, consult the Blue Pages or visit www.servicecanada.gc.ca).

• Ask family, friends and acquaintances if they know about available positions. Keep in mind that many jobs are not advertised. This means that the only way to learn about them is by speaking to people you know. You can also contact employers directly to ask if they are hiring.
