I wanted to share my favourite sites for the Canadian Job Seekers and all the people out there who are looking for a job in Canada. I think looking for job over the internet is an important part of your job search. Some of the sites bellow are job bank sites, Canadian recruiters directories, job and immigration forums and overall useful sites for your job search. You can also find lots of Resume and Cover letter tips, Interview tips, Job Articles, Salary info, Job postings and even Labour Legislation. It is important to know who are the best sites for job seekers and I think my list is what you need. With the increasing unemployment it is very important to look for a job at the right place. Just start browsing and contacting recruiters. Hope my favourite list helps all the job seekers out there.

Job In Canada - Quick Overview
1. First and the most basic step, is to let everyone know that you are searching for a job. Yes, tell your friends, friends of friends, relatives, class fellows, neighbours everyone, that you are seeking a job. It is better if you specify them what type of a job you are looking for in case you have got particular skills and qualification. If you are openly welcoming jobs from any quarter then you need to clarify this as well to your well wishers.
2. After spreading this word, take a little help of the internet; internet has made it a lot easier to find a job. Owing to its quick response and ease, many companies place their job vacancies on different online job sites. Therefore, the job hunters should not take this chance lightly in any case. You can locate a wide array of websites catering to the needs of job hunters, which place job vacancy ads by different firms. You can narrow down your search by clicking on a profession you are interested in to see if there are any current job openings. In addition, to further sift the choices you can search for jobs in the city or state of Canada you find most suitable. Then in case your search proves fruitful you can send your CV via email to that firm.
3. A conventional method of searching for jobs is to skim through the newspapers and classifieds. Even though these methods seem rather too old and demands time and toil, but still you cannot afford to miss out on them. You should regularly read these newspapers and do not forget to skim through the weekly classifieds as a number of job vacancies are published in them.
4. Moreover, it would be better if you personally give your resume to some of the firms in you locality. It always leaves a good impression on the employer plus you can discuss your qualifications and skills etc in detail with the human resource officer. Plus, you can always request them to inform you about any related job opening.
5. Register with recruitment agencies in Canada and they will help you finding your dream job in a quick time. Their representatives will always keep you informed about any new job vacancy that meets your requirements.
Follow these simple ways and it won't take long to land you in a perfect job.

- There's a new job board that launched recently that has jobs in the fields of marketing, communications and graphic design. While it's new it seems like a great place for targeted job searching.

- I also don't like Monster at all. Never found anything useful on there - plus the site is a pain to navigate and search for jobs. Workopolis has many more results and is easier to use.
In terms of results, though, I've actually had 3 interviews through jobs posted on Craigslist and 1 through JobBank Canada.
