How about TalentEgg and Career Joy. Answers: 1. (GB) career is an online job discovery website, with various employment programs to help students and jobseekers. The website has various platforms to help the jobseekers find the best job option for themselves (George Brown College, 2017). One of the best features of this website is the peer employment program that offers various job profiles with flexible schedule for the convenience of full time students (George Brown College, 2017). The program is designed to help the students develop skills, professional competency and build resilience for the hardships and challenges of the corporate world. The on-site job options provide the students a broad window of working up to 15 hours a week. It provides the students with ample opportunities to concentrate on their coursework along with earning a substantial amount to support themselves (George Brown College, 2017). Another attribute of the website is the optimal resume option provided by the website that helps the students and jobseekers construct striking resumes that catch the attention of employers easily (George Brown College, 2017). The optimal resume interface offers expert advice, optimal resume templates, and even interview tutorials. 2. George Brown College launched a research tool named career coach on January 5, 2015, that enables the students to access the up-to-date labor market information (CareerCoach, 2017). Such one-stop database research tools are extremely beneficial for the students to find the current trends in the job market and develop skills in accordance with them. Another important feature of this interface is that it gives the jobseekers the option to do a systematic search on your chosen career option (CareerCoach, 2017). In details, it enables the students to search for vacancies for on-campus jobs in their chosen career and then provides them the opportunity to find out the possible professional options that the program can lead to according to the industry trends (CareerCoach, 2017). I feel that it is a commendable initiative from the website that not only lets student find jobs in their career preference on campus but also determines what the future possibilities in our chosen field are. 3. Both the websites catch the attention of the job-seeking students positively, when approached two of my colleagues, both gave me quite similar reactions ("George Brown College", 2017). According to both of them, the career coach is the best option, impressed by the innovative features. In the current scenario, where every occupational sector is saturated, it is vital to have a clear perception about the possibilities of growth in the chosen career field. This specialized program will let us decide if our chosen field has the scope for us to attain the financial stability of our perception, and gives us an insight to determine if we want to take risks in worst-case scenarios, or if we want to switch ships. 4. GB careers and Career Coach, both the websites deals with career development advices, while GB career has a generic response, Career Coach has a very specific approach, and hence, undoubtedly it is the best option to search for jobs (CareerCoach, 2017). However, the next big step, post the selection of right career option, is constructing a resume. George Brown website offers various templates in its optimal resume interface. First option is to start the resume construction from the scratch, section by section, meticulously. Second option is to browse different resume samples, select one as per convenience and directly input the information into the template. I find that the second option is easier and more time saving and creates a professional and customized resume with advanced styles and formats. Apart from these two websites, two other websites deserve to share the spotlight in effective career development. One of them is the TalentEgg, which provides a customized resource interface called go to incubator that has different resources to develop a resume (TalentEgg, 2017). Another is CareerJoy, a Canadian website that provides resume coaches that offer complementary resume reviews and affordable packages (Careerjoy, 2017).
