Better Quality Employer Information & Contacts => Better Quality Job Leads
=> More Interviews => More Job Offers


JobPro designers created this leading-edge job search resource for the following audiences: (click following headings to view content)

  • Organizations assisting job seekers / Career development practitioners

    • The JobPro Directory:
       
      * Provides your clients with useful, up-to-date employer and contact information for thousands of BC employers. JobPro provides career development practitioners with an extensive, BC-specific, user-updatable information resource base that enables your clients to easily find valuable employer and contact information.

      What happens when you (typically your centre's Career Resource Advisor) add your own companies and contacts? The answer is that any Companies and Contacts you add to your copy of the JobPro Directory may be easily shared with Directory maintainers for inclusion in future Directory updates.

      * Strengthens your Client Resource Centre by complementing existing resources.

      * Empowers community practitioners to provide job placement assistance more efficiently and effectively, and is designed to be among your organization's most useful employer information resources.

      * Assists skilled immigrants and others to integrate into the BC labour market in ways most relevant to their competence, education and experience.

      * Is an investment that helps improve client service.

    • The JobPro Directory:

      * Is designed for both co-op professionals and student job seekers to help students integrate paid, relevant work experience with their academic programs.

      The Importance of Work Experience
      Research has shown that students' job placement after graduation is often most closely related to the amount of time they have spent gaining work experience as undergraduates and their understanding of appropriate job searching techniques.

      As a result, it's extremely important for students to take advantage of co-operative education job-placement services early in their academic career. The earlier and more involved students get in their long-term career aspirations, the greater the likelihood they will land satisfying employment after graduating.

      Job Mentoring
      Students need to begin building contacts with people in companies and non-profit organizations that might appeal to them early in their academic careers. Connections made early and developed while students are in school often prove invaluable during their job search.

      Job mentoring programs assist students in connecting with professionals in relevant career fields, and encourage them to get involved in work or professional related clubs on campus that will help them build their portfolios and work experience prior to interviewing for jobs.

  • Schools Working to Increase their Attractiveness to Current and Prospective Students

    • The JobPro Directory:

      Boosts enrolment for public and private colleges and universities by helping to differentiate your school from competing schools not offering quality job search assistance. 

      Prospective students can more easily realize that your school best meets their current and future career development needs when you make known via your web site and other marketing material that you use the JobPro Directory to assist graduates in finding quality employment faster.

      An investment in JobPro is also an important step toward enabling your school to provide quality job search resources to current students in the form of co-op placements and internships, or simply as a  cornerstone of your school's Student Resource Centre.

How to avoid the
"cold calling" blues and be more warmly received by employers


Cold calling is easily the least popular part of your job search. However, it is often the hard work spent cold calling that determines the success of your job search campaign.  Before beginning any cold calling, do some upfront preparation to help make your cold calls a little warmer.

The first step of preparation is to determine who the decision maker is at each of your targeted companies.

JobPro provides you with this key contact information, saving you from having to contact each company to learn who has the power to hire you.

If you do call, be clear that you do not wish to speak to this person now, but that you just want to know who to contact when sending information.

Many administrative personnel are discouraged from connecting you to your targeted party, but will gladly give you a name and title to get you off the phone.

Leveraging company and contact information for over 8,100 BC employers, JobPro frees you from having to call prospective employers at random, so that you can instead concentrate on making your talents known to those predisposed to hiring you.
