Job Seeker Overview - Canadian Tourism & Hospitality - CanHELP Network

Finding Work In Hospitality & Tourism Is A Fulltime Job, Or Is It?

Unlike traditional job boards, resume databases, placement services and newspaper ads, the CanHELP Employment Network is what many throughout the hospitality and tourism industry are beginning to consider the next step in the evolution in employment.

The traditional ways of securing employment consume a considerable amount of time, and are inefficient at best. One of the cornerstones of developing the CanHELP Employment Network is to streamline the hiring process, while eliminating several steps in the process for tourism and hospitality job seekers.

Traditional Job Hunting Methods When Looking To Secure Work

If it’s a part-time job or fulltime position you're after, or you're looking for a temporary or permanent career change, job seekers typically start by composing or updating their resume, and getting ready to market themselves. Then the hunt begins, and it usually follows the same routine.

Some Of The Disadvantages To Traditional Job Seeking Include ...

Surfing internet job board postings. There are usually lots but most are anonymous or repeat postings asking to reply to this email with resume attached or an even more annoying on line application form.
Sending out an alert to family, friends and associates through various social networks, looking for someone who may be "in the know" of an opening.
Newspaper ads, school/college/university notice boards and online postings often redirecting job seekers to apply in person at locations far removed.
Attending what are often labeled "cattle calls" where employers may or may not be able to place a face to the name afterwards.
Cold calling or dropping off resumes at random establishments, which often give you another application form to fill out, perhaps resulting in an interview.

These are the typical steps most job seekers take to find employment, which can take up the better part of a day. Tomorrow comes and you do it all over again.
