Career and Job Search Help Blog

If you're looking for a job, Toronto Public Library, and in particular the Toronto Reference Library, has many resources to help you in your search, including job hunting resources, company and industry information, as well as interview materials.

Regular Print Books:

You can find more of these books in the Career Collection at the Toronto Reference Library. Most of the books in this collection, unlike the majority of the books at TRL, can be signed out with an active library card.

eBooks:

You will find many more eBooks on topics of interest in Safari Tech and Business Books Online. If, for example, you enter "job hunting" as keywords in the search box for the entire site (found in the upper right-hand corner of the main page), you will get over 4,000 results! Many of these are actually chapters within books, which is one of the wonderful aspects of using online resources.
