Are you using Job Boards on the Internet for your Job Search?

How to Apply for a Job through the Internet?

Most people looking for a Job, sit in front of a Computer and register on multiple Job Boards on the internet like Indeed, LinkedIn, Monster, Workopolis, Career Builder, etc.

They then start sending out resumes after resume for jobs they see posted. I have personally known someone that would send out an average of at least 25 resumes in one sitting.

What is the mistake they are making?

Why do they not get a response?

Why do some applicants get an instant response?

I have an amazing Video that I would like to share with you that will enlighten you on this subject.

Job Search? Looking for a Job?

How to look for a Job in this Changing Economy?

In the past 2 weeks, I have personally seen strong indicators that things are moving up for the better. Media News items and articles and interviews have all pointed towards the same Optimism in the Employment Market. Even Recruiting Agencies have reported that Clients have started to call in with requirements.

Well the Worst is hopefully over.

You need to now get prepared for the coming upswing, especially those that are looking for a Job.

STEPS to FOLLOW in your JOB SEARCH:

Create a Master Resume with all your experience and add everything you can in it. Save it on your desktop titled Master.

Create at least 3-5 more resumes from it depending on your function and title. For e.g Accounting Manager, Senior Accountant, Financial Analyst, Finance Manager, Asst Controller
Each of these resumes will focus on the skills and experiences as required by the Title and the Job you are applying to.

Basically what I am referring to is CUSTOMIZE your resume to the role that you are applying to.

Then go to different Job Boards like Monster and Workopolis and save each of these resumes with their different titles.

NOW – when you are applying to a particular JOB, you can CHOOSE the resume that best fits the role and then hit SEND, instead of sending the same resume out to different roles.
You must understand that, every position advertised gets at least 150 – 200 resumes. Imagine the plight of the Recruiter screening them.

Which is why when you are able to DIFFERENTIATE and CUSTOMIZE, your resume is more likely to be read by the Recruiter and hence better the chances of getting a call for an Interview.

Sacrifices New Immigrants have to make in Canada

Canada is a wonderful place to migrate to and settle down. A great place to have your kids grow up in a Global Scenario with a broader perspective on many issues. A country where you will meet people from different ethnicities, culture, religion and race. Hence, Canada is open to a lot of immigration from all over the world.

What happens when you land here? Are you prepared?

You have arrived here with your life’s savings, which generally amounts to between CDN $10000 to $25000, hoping that it will be enough to support you through the first couple of years because you are going to get a job immediately or in a month or so.

Most of the Immigration, that takes place in the professional category is formed of educated, senior professionals from other parts of the world, both English and non-English speaking. Language certainly becomes a major barrier because of the accent, pronunciation, etc. Reality becomes a little clearer.

Even if you do speak English that is good enough, you do not have any of the so-called “ Canadian Experience”. So you start looking for a Job to survive and pay your bills rent, groceries, insurance and of course what you get is a Job that will pay your bills. God bless you if you have kids, then both husband and wife have to work to pay for childcare, which is almost what your spouse earns, to begin with.

It is almost a year now and your money you carried with you, is slowly dwindling away. Both are working hard, just managing to stay afloat with the bills and child care and somewhere thinking about your decision to migrate to this wonderful place on earth called Canada. Not only have you compromised and accepted a lower level job, but also you are also unable to pursue your true interests and passion. Was it worth the sacrifice?

There is NO Magic Formula to Succeed in Canada? No - there is NONE.

What can work for you is the following though:

Come here with an open mind, willing to work hard and play hard.

Sharpen your English language skills and get equivalency in your education

Better still, join a course that can help you pursue your interests career wise

Be grateful, that your family / kids will have good education and healthcare

Most Important of all, be patient for a couple of years and things will fall in place



Yes, a lot of Sacrifices have to be made before you can Taste the Sweet Fruit of Success.

Canada is most certainly a wonderful place to be.

Goals 2024........Here I come

2024..........Exciting Times Ahead

Happy Holidays to all..................

2023 is almost over and here comes 2024.This is a great time to reflect on what happened in the past year and select all the great things that happened to you and your loved ones. Be grateful and thankful for them. You will attract more of those in 2024.

Think about all the GOALS you achieved and also those you didn't. Focus more on the Achieved Goals and plan for this 2024 now.
What do you want? What makes you happy? What gives you immense joy?
Where do you want to be by the end of 2024?
What do you want to make this year in dollar $ terms?
Where do you want your career to move to?
What relationships you want to strengthen further?
Where do plan to travel for vacation this year? With who?

Just putting these down in writing will help you a great deal in moving towards them. Read them everyday without fail till you internalise them. Think about them all the time.

The UNIVERSE will align itself so that you achieve your GOALS, thru the Law of Attraction.

Finally, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

Have a fantastic 2024...............

Looking for your Dream Job.............

Looking for the Next Job - Hopefully your Dream Job!

In any discussion about Careers, Job Search or Employment, one always hears this term mentioned - "My current job is not my Dream Job".

What is a DREAM JOB? Let us attempt to understand some parameters linked to a Dream Job. Some statements will throw a lot of light on understanding the components that make up a Dream Job.

I love my Job - How many times do you hear this? Maybe a lot, maybe not so often. This is the first parameter or indicator that whatever your role, your company, people you work with, industry you work in - you just love it and hence excel in it.

I am passionate about what I do - There is a cause involved. No matter what it is, how important it is to the world outside of you, it means a lot to you. Obviously you put in a lot of effort and heart and soul into it. Obviously you are very good at it.

I would not trade my job for anything - Whoever said that MONEY is the most important Motivator - Nonsense. It has been proven time and time again that Job Satisfaction and Recognition are way up on the scale as compared to Money.

I have a fantastic BOSS - Have you ever wondered why some people in the same organization are extremely happy whereas others are miserable? Inquire about their relationship with their Bosses/supervisors. Employees that have a positive relationship with their bosses are always motivated to perform better and better. Alternatively, employees that are constantly threatened by their superiors are mostly under producing or are non productive.


I will continue even if I win a Lottery - says a lot about the individual, the job, the company and most certainly the Boss. This is an empowered employee that loves the job and is truly passionate about it. A windfall gain is not going to change anything.

I look forward to a Monday - WOW! Do people actually say this? Maybe they do not have a life? Maybe they have problems at Home? Actually the answer is NO to the last 2 questions. Yes, I say it all the time on a Friday or on the weekend. Believe me, I have an amazing family and am blessed with their love.

So now we have some insights into the makings of a DREAM JOB. Ask yourself these questions and you will know, when you answer YES.

Do I really love my job?
Am I passionate about my job?
Would I leave for more money?
How is my Boss?
Would I continue working even if I won a LOTTERY?
Do I look forward to a MONDAY?

If the answer to the above mentioned questions is NO, then look for your DREAM JOB.

Believe me it is OUT THERE!

Find a Job - Get a Job - New Methods that Work......

Current Economical Gloom, layoffs, companies closing down, credit crunch in the US affecting the global economy, etc, etc

This is all we hear - no matter where we look. In spite of the current situation in the employment market, I suggest we deal with the employment situation in a different manner.

My humble recommendations are as follows:

1) Stay Energized - I know it is easier said than done. Keep your spirits high, no matter what, because you control how you feel within. Stay away from the doom media and choose not to be negative. Enjoy the little things in life that give you joy like playing with your kids, a walk in the park, a quiet dinner with a loved one, etc.

2) Use Different Methodologies - Do not depend solely on the Internet Job Boards in your attempt to look for another job, but make use of Networking, Referrals, etc.


3) Elevator Pitch - Sharpen your 30 second pitch. I am referring to your condensed introduction of professional skills and value add.

4) Focus on Benefits - Tailor your resume and applications for jobs based on benefits accrued to the employer than just on your skills. e.g. how your skills can add to the bottom line of any organization? Cost saving, revenue generation, etc


5) Look for an Alternative - Research and look for alternative means of generating passive Income. e.g part time work, consulting, internet marketing, affiliate marketing, etc.

Finally, make a list of things you already have, like family, home, car, job, friends, health so that you can VALUE that and be THANKFUL to God.

Believe in yourself and Have Faith.

You will Find a Job - Get a Job
