Online Job Hunting Guide

Everyone’s looking for jobs online these days—it’s everywhere in the internet. If you’re clueless as where to start, you’ve come to the right post. Here are some cool tips via canadajobs.com:

Use Search Engines. Yes, just type in the job you want and where you want it. I tried typing in “Human Resource Assistant Canada Job” (without the quotes) and I got 261,000 results! Not all of them might be a job opening, but at least it’s a start, right?

Check Niche Sites. If you want to work in the car manufacturing business, I suggest you go to forums where they discuss such things. Most likely, there’s going to be someone there who’s got a job opening just for you. Also check out the sites of car manufacturers and look for Careers or Jobs links. There’s bound to be lots of them near your area.

Happy hunting!

Let’s say that you are now fully ready for the interview: equipped with a killer resume flashing your qualifications, properly dressed and present at the venue ahead of time; it’s as if the job is already yours for the taking. But before you start celebrating, you still have to get through the most important part; the actual interview itself.

Here are some things to remember during an interview:

Be formal, show courtesy to everyone

    To start things off, be courteous with everyone in the office (even your co applicants)  as they may become colleagues in the future.

            Offer a hand shake to the interviewer. Proper greetings will emit an aura of professionalism which is essential to build a rapport with the interviewer. If rapport is developed, the interview will be a lot easier to get through. The interviewer is not your enemy, he is not there to criticize you but to measure your compatibility with the job.

Be calm and comfortable

            A job interview is more like of a conversation than an interrogation; it is a process of determining whether you really are fit for the job or not. There is no need for you to fear anything. Just relax and be attentive to the whole interview. Express everything you say as clear and as possible because jittery and uncertain answers may just cause a bad impression. Be Cool.
