Where to Look for a Job

A good job doesn’t have to be impossible to come by. Ultimately, one of the best resources for finding a job is your ability to network and research.  You can find many job postings online, but don’t be limited to electronic resources. Don’t forget to check your local paper, career centres, and connect with local businesses.  The Loyalist Career Centre offers a list of specific job search sites for each program offered at the College, and should be your primary resource while searching for a job. They offer job boards within the school and online, and provide a list of generic job search sites to start your search.  When appropriate, remember that it can be a good idea to visit a business in person and ask for an application or drop off a resume.  Another way to gain experience and make connections during your job search is volunteering.  Volunteering gives you the chance to build your network in a field that is relevant to you, while you gain hands-on experience. Volunteer positions can also lead to job opportunities.
