Job Search at Halifax,NS
Hello,
We are planning to move Halifax around May 2019 as a PR holder. What is the best way to apply for job there? Anyone from this group already working there? Thanks in advance.

Re: Job Search at Halifax,NS
What line of work are you in?
My personal experience, as a financial planner looking to stay in that career, was that I had to network: send out resumes, use LinkedIn, apply for jobs and attend job fairs. I found it difficult to get in front of a human being, even with so called recruitment agencies, so I can't recommend the job fairs highly enough (if they have exhibitors which interest you). But networking was the key. Finally, I got a nibble and have been in work since (just under 2.5 years here).
Tell us a bit more and hopefully more detailed answers will follow.

Re: Job Search at Halifax,NS
Thanks for your reply. I have done my computer engineering degree but never practice programming(Shame). Currently running small online business for last 6-7 years. I have knowledge in Online Marketing and anything admin related job which I used to do for my business. Also any type of IT course(Non programming related) which I am interested. Thanks
