Where do you find the best jobs are advertised?

Postby Lo on Mon Mar 04, 2013 10:36 pm

I'm finding that there are lots of places to look for jobs, like UsedVictoria, Craigslist, the Job Bank and the direct websites of the companies, but I don't know which one is the best to focus on. We have a recent high school graduate that is looking for work, so he's on all these sites and will likely find something; but are there better places to look? Appreciate any experiences you have to share. Thanks!

Worklink BC has a compilation of job sites:

All of the local malls also have websites listing job opportunities:

If your son is having a hard time finding work, there are some job search options as well (Spectrum Job Search, for example, pays the kids minimum wage while they participate in the program):

The job market is tough for kids these days :(
