• Be sure you understand the career description in the post. Review both the job title and the job description to make sure that the posted job meets your career goals and qualifications.
• Understand the lingo. Canadian employers may use slightly different descriptions for job and job requirements than would be used by American companies.
• Use career-specific search engines to locate posts for part time jobs. They are more likely to include part time or temporary jobs in their field than might be included on more all-inclusive, multi-job search engines.
