Now you are ready to explore the different job opportunities that exist in New Brunswick
and the companies that provide these job opportunities. This is referred to as "labour
market information".

                                          Why is this important?

You can save time and frustration if you know where to look for job postings and how to
network with employers. By researching companies, you may find a job that is well 
suited to your skills, interests and field of study. This can also help you weed out 
companies for which you are not interested to work, allowing you to prioritize your job 
search.


Tips:

1. Start with job banks such as www.nbjobs.ca to see the available jobs and if you have the skills  required.  If you are
     interested in a job but do not currently have the skills required, take note so you can decide if you would like to take 
     steps to obtain them.

2. Research companies on the Internet and talk to people you know who work at places of employment where you are
     interested in working to find out more about what the employer does. You may also reach out to people who you do
     not know through networking.  This is smart to do before going to a job interview!
