Job hunting just got easier for the active and passive job hunters. We created a page that displays Télé-Ressources’ job offers description: http://www.teleressources.com/emplois/. If you want to browse all the jobs we have to offer quickly, you can still do it at jobs express. The job descriptions will unfortunately only be available in French.

The great news about the new job page is that you can now get job offers for free via web or cell phone. Thanks to the beauty of social media, if you use RSS, you can subscribe to our feed and if you have twitter you can follow us @teleressources, therefore you can be notified of our job offers without having to visit the web site.  

In order to get job offers on your cell phone, sign up to Twitter and follow their instructions to set up your cell phone. You may have to contact Twitter to turn the service on. You can read the instructions here: I'm using 21212 and I can send, but not receive, messages from Twitter!

Now, whenever we have a job offer, you will automatically be notified. Please note that standard text message fees can be applied by your service provider and not by Télé-Ressources or Twitter. Contact your service provider for more information on fees.

Of course, you can still visit our website directly to view the job offers. You can also search for job offers by using the search tool or you can click on a tag in the tag cloud located on the right to find a job that you are interested in.

Happy hunting!

Who said Facebook was only about poke wars or converting friends into zombies or pirates. You can get a new job just by having your profile on Facebook! History was made this summer at Télé-Ressources, as we placed our first Facebook candidate.

We have all been in the same shoes; the job hunting shoes (or is it boots?) and we can all relate to the stress and discouragement caused by low funds and little feedback on the job search. However, thanks to Facebook and after working with one of our counsellors, Angenie started her new job in a lawyer’s firm. I sent a Facebook message to Angenie 3 days after she started to get some news. I was very pleased by what she wrote and I thought it would be nice to share what she has to say about her experience in getting a job through Télé-Ressources. Here is what she wrote:

Hello Alphonse,

First, thank you for this little attention and yes, it is a good thing that Facebook exists!

Ms Rupp did an excellent work. I appreciated her dedication and have made my experience with Tele-Ressources, a great satisfaction. I must say that when I met Ms Rupp, I was somewhat discouraged but her help, her advice, her honesty and especially her commitment immediately lifted my spirits. This change in attitude also helped me see progress and the outcome… it happened so quickly!!! I would also like to mention that you have taken a great initiative as well. This said, continue your good work and a I would like to say thank you to the whole team.

Today is my third day at my new job and I must say that although I’m going through an adjustment phase, I feel very good, people are friendly and the atmosphere is particularly pleasant for me. I hope that things will go well in the future for you because I hope to make you proud. Anyway, as discussed with Ms Rupp, we will keep contact to make sure everything remains well.

By the way, I have already referred you somebody. .

I will send a card to Ms Rupp (don’t say anything).

Thank you again!

Yours truly, Angenie

With the arrival of youth on the market and the gradual departure of baby-boomers, the workforce is evolving at great speed and the methods for recruiting employees are transforming as well.

"Business is not the same as 8 years ago, states Johanne Berry.  To grow, you must welcome change and this open-minded mentality must start from senior management."
