Canada Job Bank
These are the same postings you would get at any Canada employment centre.
To use this site you select the area you want to find a job in. The site prompts
you to enter keywords for a job search. Enter "cook" and you will see all the
job postings that contain the word "cook". To see all the jobs available in Winnipeg,
don't enter any keywords, just select Winnipeg as the area you want and click
search. Hundreds of jobs, posted in most recent to past order, will appear on the
screen. Clicking on one of these postings results in specifics about the job, such as
wage, contact person, etc.
Winnipeg Free Press - Jobs
These are the daily jobs as posted in the Winnipeg Free Press. To use this
site you can search by job category, keywords or just search the new ads only.
Make you selections and then click on the search button.
