How do I go about gettng a job or finding work in London Ontario?

Here is the quickest way that I have used to locate jobs in London for friends and family,

  • What is the trick to really getting the best search results?
    • DO NOT USE any keywords, just type in your location "London Ontario"
IF you use keywords to search, you'll miss out potentially on jobs.  Not everyone uses the same job title that you're thinking off or they just have very creative ways to name job titles.  For example, University of Western Ontario is currently looking for Alumni Engagement Officer - Ceremonies. I didn't even know that you can have such a great job title for something that I would call an Event Planner or Co-ordinator.

  • Find industry websites or groups you're interested
    • Start with a large industry websites and drill down to find local organizations / websites
    • Explore LinkedIn groups, you may find very cool industry specific groups
    • Used LinkedIn job search, lots of jobs posted on LinkedIn are not posted elsewhere
