Finding a job

Find a job and build your career in New Brunswick. There are many online and community resources that can help you network and find work.

For information on employment counseling services in your community, refer to, Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour. Also check with local immigrant-serving organizations or the New Brunswick school or university you are attending for employment counseling.

Keep up to date on the latest job postings in our province. Check these places frequently:

• New Brunswick job listings online such as Nbjobs.ca, Government of New Brunswick Jobs/Employment, and the Government of Canada Job Bank;
• the careers and classified sections of our national and local papers;
• local job fairs;
• your network of friends, family, neighbours;
• volunteer opportunities that may lead to new contacts or paid work; and
• recruiters, as listed in your local telephone directory.

To work in New Brunswick, you will need certain documentation, including:

• a record of landing or work permit;
• a Social Insurance Number (SIN);
• a resume or curriculum vitae with a cover letter; and
• references (usually three different individuals) who can confirm and praise your past work experience.

For more information about these documents and how to apply, refer to, Working in Canada.
