Top 5 Websites For Your Job Search PDF Print E-mail
"So, you have sent your resume to 50 companies over the internet with no response. Perhaps there is something wrong with your resume?  Spelling mistakes, frivolous details, or you forgot the cover letter!  However, If you are confident that the I’s have been dotted and the T’s have been crossed, take heart in knowing that using the internet is the least effective way to get a job. The most effective way is to use your network of friends and family members , or using a recruiter. The second best way is to call a company directly and ask for a job. It works! Have you tried it? Companies don't need clock-watchers and pencil pushers, they need passion."

 If you do decide to hunt over the net, allow me to narrow it down for you. The best websites I have found from my personal experience are ones like the
University of Calgary's Haskayne School of Business Site. I have worked for Smirnoff, Bacardi, Mosaic Sales Solutions, Labatt, Corona, Pepsi, General Mills, Abbott Pharmaceuticals, Hallmark Greeting Cards, and Parmalat. I got most of these jobs through this website (http://haskayne.ucalgary.ca/haskaynecareers/students), or through recruiters.  Better yet, if you want to earn referral money and get a job, then go to Bohire
(www.bohire.com) or even www.bountyjobs.com . These websites will pay you to refer people to jobs and they may even have your dream job! My next favorite is www.Calgaryjobshop.ca  , because you can sort jobs by company logos and choose who you want to work for...visually (they have websites for most cities in Canada). Another great website is www.albertasbest.com, where you can watch videos on employers and what makes them such a great place to work. Here is a tip. Watch the videos, write down the contact names you see, and call them and ask for a job!
If you have never used a recruiter, but are thinking about it, make sure you look at their current job postings on their websites and let them know which jobs you are interested in! A good way to find recruiters is to do a search in Google under Calgary Recruiters and see what you get. Recruiters get paid by corporations to find amazing talent like yourself for jobs. Very efficient and effective for Top performers.

Hope these sites help you in your job search. They have helped me as a recruiter and as a former job seeker. Good luck! Go manifest your passion!
