Ways to Find Jobs
Learn popular ways to find jobs using job banks and job boards
The most frequently used method for finding a job in Winnipeg is by searching through endless listings on Job Boards or Job Banks in where you search a few key words, and then if it’s in a location you would like to work in you shoot off your general resume. You can easily spend hours hunting and sorting through job lists just to find the perfect role you want. There are thousands of people like you doing the same thing and the competitiveness on Winnipeg’s largest Job Boards is often overwhelming.
Think of yourself as 1 in 100 applications each time you apply for a job. What will make you better than the rest? Why are you qualified for this role? These are questions you need to ask yourself before firing off your application. After all, it will not only save you time, but as well as the person on the other end whose job is to receive these resumes and go through them for the competent candidates.
A few of the largest and most well-known Job Boards or Job Banks in Winnipeg are:
- The Government Job Bank
- Workopolis
- Monster
There are various smaller job boards that reduce your search by only specializing in specific industries. Like Engineering Jobs, Finance Jobs, or Call Centre Jobs etc. If you know your discipline, try searching the more specialized job boards. Your occupation might have an organization that represents your group at large and which may have its very own job board. No matter which job board or job bank you choose to search, remember that you need to be eligible for the posting before you make a decision to apply.
Another evolving trend is a website which allows employers to create free postings. In Winnipeg it is not unheard of for some employers to post job ads on Kijiji or Craig’s List, so you might want to check those out too.
