When most of us experience these injuries, we are recommended to visit a Physiotherapist who specializes in the rehabilitation of our injuries and ailments.

Convention Centre Case Study: How Julie's Value Proposition Landed Her the Job Offer An Article by Sharon Graham, CRS, CIS, CPRW, CEIP Let’s face it, there is only one reason that you are in a job search — you are looking for a great job offer. In order to reach that goal, you are likely to go through a process which includes distributing résumés and interviewing for positions until you secure that ideal placement. Unfortunately, many others are doing just that. So, how do you stand out? We all know that an effective résumé will produce interviews and that a successful interview will lead to a job offer. Your objective is to get the offer by delivering a unique, powerful, and consistent message. You must “sell” yourself to your potential employer by telling him why he needs you. This is your “Value Proposition”. Let’s take a look at how World of Widgets Inc. (WOW), a mid-sized widget manufacturing company, successfully filled their vacant Territory Sales Manager position. Muriel, WOW’s busy HR Manager and Recruiter, was tasked with filling the Territory Sales Manager role. The position had opened up because WOW needed to generate an ongoing and sustainable increase in sales revenue, which was lagging. For more career articles please click

What is the difference between a regular interview and an informational interview? How should I prepare for the interview? What type of questions should I ask during this process? If you could help me to prepare for this process that would be greatly appreciated. Signed, Dear Patrick, A regular interview means you are looking for a job. An informational interview means you are looking for information from someone working in a field in which you have an interest. To prepare for such an interview you will need to call on your network of contacts; people who might know people in companies in which you would like to work. If not, you may have to be bold and contact these companies directly. Here are some questions to ask during the process:

Update Your Profile and Resume The best way to stay visible on TorontoJobs.ca, and get your resume to as many Employers as possible is to keep your profile accurate and up to date. If you have any new experience, credentials, or education, always make sure to add that to your online resume. If your email address, phone number or contact information has changed, be sure to update it so that you can be sure that Employers know how to contact you. Also, make sure that the "Title or Summary" section of your Resume is as eye-catching and relevant as possible since this is the first thing that any employer will see when they search for resumes. Many people have general titles like "My Resume" or "Qualifications", which do nothing to describe them, their skills, and field of interest. A quick summary of who you are and what you are capable of can make a big difference to Employers.
