ob Hunting on the Internet

New Wave Job Search Tools help you to find your next Work Position. Say you or your son/daughter is looking for a job or ready for a career change. Tired of pouring over the local newspaper classified pages each week trying to find out what jobs are available in your area of expertise? There is a better way, eh. Several innovative internet companies are lining up to provide free (to you) job search facilities to help pinpoint the jobs that are available across the world or in you back yard by job description and region.

Start your search at www.excite.com by entering your search parameter as 'Job Search'. A page with several occupation specific categories will result. In addition to a link to the Excite Careers Channel is presented. This page links to other job related sites, contains news/articles on job search, and even lets you use a quick search form to look up current job listings by category. 

• Then take a look at the Excite version of the Online Career Center (OCC) / Monster Board 'Find a Job Now' facilities. Excite combines resources and features from these two independent job search sites to provide a great blended source of job listing information.
  • You can search for jobs,
  • build a resume, and
  • set up a personal job search agent (who will email you if a job type you want comes available).
  • Employers can also post a job.

  ps. You can also access each of these sites directly over the internet at www.monsterboard.com (check out the cute monster motif) and at www.occ.com. These sites cover North America and beyond, but most of the jobs come from US sites.
   

• For a site with heavier Canadian content, try Canada's Globe and Mail Newpaper (GLOBEcareers.com) website.

  GLOBEcareers.com is the online destination for Canadians who are either looking for a job or looking to hire a qualified candidate. Job seekers have access to all the career ads from The Globe and Mail, plus job opportunities with Canada's premier corporations.

  On GLOBEcareers.com, you can:
