What are the Best Job Boards?
Student-focused job boards
These sites have less competition than the national job boards because they are
restricted to students and recent graduates.
All U of T students and recent graduates (within the last two years) can access
CAREER CENTRE ONLINE job listings.

Industry-specific job boards
For the best industry-specific sites, use directories like the Canadian Internet
Job Search Guide or browse the Career Resource Library Weblinks.
National job boards
You can expand your search by using larger boards, which are typically well-known
to employers, and some positions can only be found there. In Canada, the most popular
are:
Protect Yourself
Regardless of what job board you are looking at, there are certain types of postings
that warrant additional background research on your part. When applying to international
positions, entrepreneurial opportunities and jobs listed through a third party recruiter,
be sure to consider the organization, location, travel and expenses related to the
job. Most importantly: never pay to find work!
Should I Post My Resume Online?
Some boards provide the option to post your resume in an online resume database
that employers can search for qualified candidates. For advice on preparing an electronic
resume, pick up a copy of the Electronic Resumes tipsheet in the Career Resource
Library. Note that there are drawbacks to these "sit-back-and-wait" methods
of job search such as privacy concerns and a very low success rate.
Don’t Miss Out on the Unlisted Jobs!
Although it is tempting to just sit back and apply for jobs online, this is the
LEAST effective method for finding a job! In fact, only 20% of jobs ever get advertised.
To get at the remaining 80%, tap into the hidden job market using a variety of techniques
for
finding a job.
