Online Job Search Resources

The long summer's just about over, and for many it's time to get back on the job hunt.


What are some of your favourite online resources for looking for a job? Here are a few common ones:

1. Job Bank, by rhe Canadian Government
2. Monster Board
3. Workopolis
4. Ontario Government Jobs
5. City of Toronto Employment

However, don't forget other free sites as well, such as:

• Craigslist's Resume Postings and Job Openings
• Kijiji's Jobs in Downtown Toronto

What other ideas or tips do you have? Would you use YouTube and FaceBook?
