... job leads from many of Canada’s daily newspapers. Search for jobs by category and location, or use the advanced search to limit the dates and newspapers searched.

In addition, the site offers job tips, resume tips, employer profiles, school profiles (for your education and training needs), and news and events. There is also a resume database too which employers access through a separate login.

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada -- HRSDC / HRDCC (was HRDC / DRHC)

The former HRDC / DRHC has been divided into 2 agencies. This one is the employment service for Canada, including central and regional services. In addition to the job bank, other information on unemployment, training programs, and how to search for a job is included. (Workers will also want to look at the Department of Social Development for information on unemployment and other benefits.) HRSCD / HRDCC also maintains the following employment services:

ELE: The Electronic Labour Exchange

Opportunities all over Canada. Select a job/career category, fill out your experience, and see if anything matches. For those seeking new careers, the career profiles are interesting to read.

I found this easier to search than the ELE, above. It let me check all jobs submitted in the last 48 hours for a specific region, which was a lot easier than the skill-match.

...the listings are divided into categories (Computer/IT, Industry, Admin, Social, and Other). There's no search feature, so you'll have to check your category to see what's underneath. In some cases, they break a category out geographically, so you have to look under each location to see what's listed. Nice feature is the "New Jobs" list where you can scan down all jobs posted in the past few days.

Positionwatch Information Technology Employment Network.

...IT jobs in Canada. Search by keyword or check the employer list.

Possibilities Project

...virtual employment center for jobseekers in Toronto. Free registration is required for users to access almost everything except for some articles on the front page. However, registration only means giving them your name, phone number, and email address. It does not mean posting your resume, so I recommend you go ahead and register. What you will find in here is well worth the minute spent filling out their short form.

Registration is not required to search the jobs, but if you register you can save searches and set up a CareerAlert email service. Registration is also free and does not require you to submit your resume unless you want to. Great resource center, full of articles and advice. A service of the Globe and Mail, I believe.

..full and part-time jobs in Ireland, plus some abroad. A nixer is Irish slang for a little job (traditionally, one done on the sly!), but there are full time and permanent positions here too, and I don't see anything "under the table" (as we say in the US). You can scan the many categories (I personally like the "Irish Pub Abroad" and "Crazy / Random Jobs" areas), or search by keyword. According to their FAQ, all jobs listed expire after 14 days, unless an employer has confirmed that the openings still exist. If you are really interested in the hospitality industry, they offer special rates to bars, pubs, and hotels to attract a lot of listings. If you choose a search from the left menu (company, category, location, industry) you will see how many listings are available in each area. Nice. Register your CV for free.

Nice feature -- you can see lists of all job categories, employers, and locations on the front page along with the number of listings in each category. Registration is not required to search the database and many listings include the employer's contact information, but some listings are "confidential" which means the only way you will be able to apply for these positions is by registering and using their "apply now" feature. Please note that if you opt to post your resume here it will not be deleted unless you either delete it yourself or ask them to delete it for you.

South Africa

Career Classifieds

...Search or browse job listings from South Africa and other areas. Nice feature -- if there are no listings in a particular job field, that category does not display in the Browse area. A little point of clarification: on the ads under Member Info it says to "click here to view contact details to apply for this position". The "member" is the employer or recruiter who posted this ad, so you do not need to be a member to view the contact info for the jobs. It is only if you wish to use the Apply Online feature that you have to have your resume registered with the site. Registering also allows you to use other advanced features of the site.

Asia and the Pacific Rim

Regional Resources

Asia-Net

"Japan's leading career site for bilingual professionals." Asia-Net serves the Asia/Pacific-Rim business community, and all jobs require fluency in English plus a second language of this region (Japanese, Korean, Chinese). You may need to install a Japanese language pack in your web browser to view everything in this site, but I did not have problems navigating without this. Registration is not required to view the jobs, but it is required in order to apply to them.

Asia Online! Asia Employment Center

...general job and resume-posting board for the many countries which make up Asia. Some have individual job and resume boards, but be sure you double- check the main employment board too. All postings are updated every 30 days, and all are free. Some postings are jobs in the US for persons of Asian descent. Note for persons posting their resumes here: you will be asked to fill in their form, but you can cut-and-paste from your current resume. However, many of you are adding in personal information such as marital status and date of birth which is probably not necessary at this time. An employer who is interested in speaking with you might ask for that information, but please be aware that if you are interviewing for a job in the United States that you are not required to give date of birth, age, or marital status unless you have been offered a job. I know that in many countries this information is required, but not here.

...nice looking lead source for the Asia Pacific Region. Specific countries included are Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.

The "Quick Apply" button includes a template for visitors to use, copy-and-pasting your resume into the appropriate areas. At the time of review, I found over 3700 jobs in Singapore, over 4000 in Hong Kong.
