Workopolis.ca - Your Next Job In Canada

Trying to find a job is the kind of challenge that can make people get desperate. At Workopolis.ca you will meet George Turnbull, a fictional character who is exactly undergoing a little bit of stress during his job seeking period. A good bunch of videos will show him making every known step to get his dream job, but in a rather surprising way. For example, doing his follow up after handing in a resume by sending himself inside a box through the mail, or recording videos which show him in some activities he thinks will impress hypothetical employers. These include going through his CV and explaining an interviewer why he calls himself a local media distributor for having been the paperboy in his neighborhood.

Although not to that extent, you will certainly recognize some of those experiences from you own history.Workopolis.ca is a web portal aimed at the Canadian working market with information and tips on job-hunting. You can browse different categories like administrative, arts & media, marketing, legal, sales, finance, among others. Another browsing option is by city, where you can choose Calgary, Edmonton, Hamilton, Mississauga, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec, Toronto, Vancouver, or Winnipeg.
Apart from these, several applications are available such as getting twitter.com or e-mail alerts with job openings, a good bunch of articles related to the job market ("The 10 fastest growing industries of the future" and "Ten doomed industries" look like an interesting read), and a special section in everything related to possible jobs for students.



There is no need to say that every tip and advice for making CV's and writing cover letters can be found at Workopolis.ca. Maybe one of the best things you can do is create an account to upload your resume so that it is available for future employers, but without imitating George Turnbull's methods.
