Starting your Career Search...

There are a ton of resources out there when researching for a new career. I started off with writing down a list things that I’m good at and that I like to do. Second of all, if you have a chance, there is a great resource that you can usually find at career resource centres. It’s called Career Cruiser. This site is easy to use.

However, you must enrol in some workshops or get a career coach through one of Toronto’s many career resource centres. When you log on there is several quizzes you can take. They usually take a few minutes. Remember be honest and take some time to answer the questions. When you are done, the site gives you a selection of career directions.

From there, it gives you information about those industries and even has actual professionals giving their thoughts on what they do for a living. Check this site out, you won’t regret it.

Other quick resources on the web:

ELUTA, INDEED, and WOWJOBS are what are called either job aggregators or job scrappers. They mine sites like Monster and Workopolis for a job you are searching for. They are pretty good, so utilize them.

CAREERBUILDER, WORKOPOLIS, and MONSTER are some of the most popular jobboards on the internet. They are not only good in finding a job, they provide good information and tips on writing resumes, performing well on interviews as well as other interesting subjects in regards to your job hunt.

The next blog entry will focus on one of the best career resources that you can get….
