"This is the second time I used the service and has helped me immensely in my job search. I have been employed since October 2010."
Thank you.
JC
"You know, when you're looking for work, somehow, a lot of your support systems dry up - maybe people would like to help you/recommend you etc, but it doesn't always work out. One of the consistently reliable tools for me during that time was your daily email. Sometimes I didn't find anything suitable, but many times I found jobs posted that were a good fit for me. I knew that everyday I'd heard from you - everyday was another chance to find something - kind of a silent supportive friend trying to help me out. I can't tell you how important that was." |
"PNJ has been great, it has saved me a lot of time, and thanks to it I have had several interviews with companies I have been interested in working for. Finally I headhunter found me though and I after an exhaustive interview process I was offered a permanent position. I do recommend PNJ to anyone who is actively looking for a job. |
"I absolutely found a lot of value in the site. Seeing the new jobs really helped give me a good idea about what was out on the market. As it turned out, I did find a job on another site but that did not take away from what this site offered in terms of value and relevancy. I would certainly come again to PNJ once/if I'm in the position of looking for a new opportunity. Thanks!"
DK
"I felt more confident in my search knowing the PNJ resource was available. I held out for a job that was more secure and better paying than the first position I was offered.." |
"Thank you very much for all your help over the past year, it has been most helpful. You guys do an outstanding job and I will ensure to recommend your site to people who are in need of work." |
"You showed me a new job with RBC for which I was qualified. I applied and got it. You guys $@%)#!& rock!!." |
"I was able to secure a position as a direct result of seeing the company's ad on PNJ." |
"An ad was on your webpage that I probably wouldn't have found on my own. I think this is a great service and I will mention it to anyone else I know looking for a career."
CC
"I can not say that I found my contract just due to PNJ, but of course, PNJ played very important role in my search. Due to PNJ I have made many interesting business relationships. Thanks alot." |
"I will definitely resubscribe if and when I'm on the job search again. Thank you for your great service!" |
"I applied to a placement agency job posting on PNJ. I was interviewed by the placement agency and, subsequently, found a six-month temporary job through that agency." |
"PNJ made my time jobseeking so much easier and provided me with jobs opportunities I never would have found-- opportunities which led to interviews and, eventually, thankfully, a job. It's a great service." |
"Thanks for the great service. It helped me get my job. I now have a great job and I am very happy."
Colleen
"A posting on PNJ got me looking. I eventually found a job for the same company but for a different role" |
"PNJ is a great tool for finding a job. It certainly saved me countless hours checking organization's HR web sites. The postings sent to me were revelent to my skill set." |
"I was looking for a permanent job in the Ottawa area and was able to find one through your service" |
"Although your newsletter did not locate a position for me directly, it provided an enormous number to contacts in the contracting world. Through your information I established a solid network that connected me to numerous opportunities." |
"PNJ was my most trusted source for local opportunities. It's one of Ottawa's best kept secrets.
Thanks for the great new job."
MW
"I had been quite happy providing consulting services, but did keep tabs on other job opportunities and this past year I did accept a permanent job position. I'm actually not certain whether or not it appeared in PNJ (I think it did) as well as in other sources. Anyway after this position is ended I'll retire and if work is needed I'll go the consulting route so I no longer need PNJ." |
"The reactivation of the Ottawa area event news made all of the difference for me. I attended a meet and greet event and ended up being the only candidate to be pulled for an interview after meeting a few hiring managers. It worked out great and I wouldn't have know about it if not for PNJ." |
"I am happy to say I no longer require Peter's New Jobs!! I was laid off and someone told me about your services. I found a job in your daily e-mail that I applied for and was hired! It is my dream job. I LOVE it and am happy that I got laid off. |
"I want to thank you folks once again for the great service. Rather than find a job I've decided to open my own business. I won't need PNJ again...at least hopefully I won't. Nice to know its there when I do need it though." |
"I found the job on PNJ's in the recruiter section. PNJ is a great job hunting tool!"
LN
"I am no longer subscribed since I was fortunate in finding contract work through contacts. Your daily list of new job posting was appreciated as it gave hope while I was out of work. I was comforted by the fact that there were real jobs. I applied to many of them without success. I'm sure it was equally hard on the screeners to wade through the deluge of resumes they must have received. |
"I graduated from University 2 1/2 years ago and have been working in Technical Support Call Centers ever since. |
"I got a job by using your service. That is so wonderful, thanks a lot. I was referred to you by someone else who got a job with your service. Good luck and keep it up."
Ziad
"I worked until I was laid off and then pursued teaching (which I decided was not for me), worked overseas (Africa and Jordan), and then IT in Healthcare consulting. After I had completed a business plan for the latter I noted a posting from Calian that I identified via PNJ. Thinking it was a contract I applied. |
"You have done a terrific job in helping people find jobs. I think Peter's New Jobs (PNJ) is better, and more effective, than monster.ca. In the past 3 years, I have tried various career web sites and various headhunter's web sites, and none of them have landed me a job. However, I found many real jobs from PNJ and finally landed two jobs. |
"Just wanted to compliment you on a excellent service that you are providing for job seekers out there. I managed to land a great job that your service alerted me to. I am now working as a technical officer at National Research Council. I hope your service will continue in the future."
John
"I've been a contractor for the past 7 months but my project got cancelled so I had to start looking for a job… Again! I only used the listings in PNJ’s daily emails to find jobs to apply to as I didn't have time to surf the net. I applied to 4 full-time and 2 contracting positions, all intermediate software development positions. I had interviews for 3 of the 4 full-time and both contracting positions. Within 3 weeks and 4 interviews, I was offered a full-time position... and actually had the pleasure of turning down other offers! |
"I learned about PNJ, tried it out, immediately saw the value and subscribed right away. For part of the summer I was vacationing in the Maritimes and used the PNJ listings daily to review and apply for jobs. In September I saw a posting on PNJ that I thought looked very good. I applied. |
"The service helped me as I found full-time employment through your 'Private Organization' daily listings. It is a huge time saver and your service ensures that you are not missing out on any daily job listing[s] even if a personal search was done. There's nothing at all that I would suggest as improvements as everything you need is just a click away. I've also referred many others to use your service as an alternative tool to seek employment."
Jennifer R.
"I would like to say, "Yes, I did find my job through PNJ." I started subscribing to PNJ in September. I heard about PNJ from a friend and tried the one week free trial. Then I subscribed for three months. In November, I applied for a position listed in PNJ. I got a call and an interview. I passed it. The role is close to what I'm looking for. |
"I did find the job through PNJ. I applied online and heard from them a few days later. Interestingly, I was interviewed by a former co-worker. He had left about 6 months previously to join this new company. I had heard that he left, but I never thought I would be working for him. |
"I wish to thank you for the invaluable service you offer. I have been using your list ever since it began in January 2003, and even before in the HireTopTalent Ottawa group. I have just accepted my dream job offer; a job I found on your list. This is especially sweet as I have been doing the commute thing to Toronto for a year now. A very big Thanx."
Dan
"I do not wish to renew my subscription to your excellent service. In fact, I found a great job via your list within the first three weeks of joining. They practically hired me on the spot, and I am still there. Your service helped me make the leap from consultant to employee, which I don't think would happen with the recruiters and job sites (i.e. Workopolis). |
"I do wish to say again, thank you for this service. |
"Thanks for the great work you do to gather visibility to all the jobs in Ottawa. Your list displayed a job that I applied to and succeeded in landing. Without your lead, I would never have found this particular job as it was not advertised anywhere but on the employer's web site. Your list picked the job posting up on day one and voila! Here I am, working once again, doing something I love doing. I am now the HR Consultant at Logic2000 and I get paid to perform the role of connecting and winning employment contracts for job seekers! Gotta love it! Thanks Peter!" |
I heard about your service from a friend, and it's a great idea. There are so many web sites with job postings, you could never look through all of them every day. Jobs tend to get filled pretty quickly, so the "new jobs only" listing is exactly what a candidate needs. In my case, I was very lucky -- I applied to a job from the first job listing email I got, and I was hired. It's a management position at a local startup, so it worked out very well for me. Keep it up!" |
" I used the service for approximately 18 months and as you did the searching for me, it allowed me the opportunity to focus on modifying my resume to the position vacancy. I did not find my current employment through Peter's Jobs but no fault of this service. Networking was and still is the key. The service you provide is top drawer and, as stated earlier, have recommended Peter's Jobs and will continue to do so.
Thanks again for all of your support."
SD
"I wanted to let you know that you have an excellent service that I have been recommending to anyone who is looking for employment. The only recommendation I would make is to be able to send these jobs to your clients first thing in the morning. I know you are working to make that happen too. You have introduced me to many organizations that I didn't even know existed. I have learned so much. I was about to subscribe once again for another 3 months but as it turns out, today, I have a received a short term govt contract (not through your service) that lasts until August 31st. At that time, I hope you will offer me the same 3 month subscription at that point onward. Thank you once again for such an invaluable service." |
"It's been said by all that know me that when I invest in a stock, SELL! However, I invested in a subscription to Peter's New Jobs and it has been one of the best investments I have ever made. Being part of the tech downturn of 2000/01, I had secured only a few minor contracts in the past 3 years. I spent 4-6 hours a day, 5 days a week going through every newsgroup and company website looking for employment. I was told about the 1-week free trial by my Employment Specialist at the city. I signed up and immediately saw the potential for saving a lot of my web-search time. Every day a new list is provided, you don't need to go look at every employer's website be it private or public sector or recruiting agencies, they are all there. If I felt I was qualified, I could concentrate on tweaking my resume to ensure I stood out from the hundreds of applicants vying for the same position. The time I saved browsing was now spent tweaking and polishing - Time well spent. After only 1 month, I secured an interview with a large private-sector company in the area and landed my first "Real" job in 3 years. Thanks Peter & Len, keep up the good work." |
"I let my subscription run out because I did find a job. I found the job through your job updates. Out of all the job alerts that I subscribed to I found yours to be the most useful. It is very well laid out and the most up to date. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a job. Thanks for providing an excellent service."
JM
"Thank you Peter for providing this useful service. I checked every applicable job listing that you sent me and I eventually found a good full time position (and none too soon), I start tomorrow. You provide a very valuable service to your clients. I have referred many people to you and I've never been disappointed. |
"After many months of applications, I received and have accepted an offer from a high-tech firm here in Ottawa. Your daily job bank email was an excellent resource and provided many opportunities for networking. |
"To be honest, though, I don't recall whether I saw this particular job posting through your service first, or in the newspaper. I do know I saw it on PNJ around the same time, however. I subscribed to the service for around 8 months. Regardless, I think you're providing an excellent service at a great price. I would guess I've told at least a couple of dozen friends/contacts about the service." |
"I did in fact see the job advert from your website. It is with CS-COOP. I tried a few agencies (Excel, Maxsys) but they were no help at all and I am surprised they stay in business. Your website was much more useful to me. The job is not exactly what I was looking for but it is a start. I have been looking for about 5 months and have been discouraged - until now. The problem is that I am not bilingual - which removes about 80% of jobs I can apply to in this town." |
"It was from a listing in June. Sent in my resume through email to the company (visited their web site). I received a call later that afternoon. Went in for an interview and was offered the job a week later. It is a very small company though and it is a contract position as opposed to a full time job."
Ken
"By the way, I just wanted to let you know that you've put together a great service here and that I actually found my current job via one of your postings last June. Even though I'm currently employed, I'm still a subscriber as I find it is one of the best ways to gauge the raw hiring activity in the Ottawa & Toronto markets (I vow never to become complacent about the job situation again!)." |
"I was really satisfied with the service and I can't think of anything to improve it. I would never say to lower the price as the time it takes to do what you do is well worth the money, and quite honestly, $10 over 3 months (or whatever) saved me SOOOOO much time and effort, I was incredibly more efficient with my search efforts and strategies because of what you do. It's fabulous!" |
"PNJ was for sure a great helper, some 50% of the interviews I had in the last two years were due to the list. I had some short contracts and small jobs during this time (that I found via friends or newspaper) but the actual job I am working now at was listed in PNJ.
As I mentioned the only reason to interrupt it now is that I am way too busy in the new learning process to have any energy left for other occupations and also as a matter of fairness towards my new employer. Of course PNJ is a great time saver for a very reasonable price as well as a source of inspiration while looking for potential employers. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a job in technology sector and also other occupations."
Emil
"Although I only subscribed very recently, I'd like to unsubscribe - for the very best of reasons. A job link I found on your list lead to another job posting at a company's site which lead to an application, an interview and an offer. I accepted the new job offer today. Thanks so much for the service you provide at such a reasonable cost. It did exactly what I needed it to do. I'll be sure to spread the word!" |
"Personally speaking, your service is a great ammunition for job hunters. It gave them huge advantage in finding companies that are looking for candidates. This saved a lot of time in searching jobs as it brings the list right on your computer. This is a great entrepreneurial effort that has been done well. Good luck. I had been to couple of interviews because of PNJ." |
" I heard from a friend of Peter's New Jobs service, and I've been impressed! I've found it to be a very cost effective way of getting new job information each day, and I suspect almost half the jobs appearing on it were not showing up in the job search I myself was doing otherwise.I recently found a Director level position, and owe this in large part to PNJ. And of course I still use the service - it pays to keep informed of the opportunities out there. Thanks PNJ!"
TW
"Just a bit of follow up: The Contract had not yet come through when one of the "close calls but [no] job" that I had made thanks to poj called me back and has since turned into a position. So thank you for the great service you provide. I hope it continues to grow and prosper. It certainly provides a very cost-effective way of keeping tabs on new positions as they are created." |
"I am no longer subscribed since I was fortunate in finding contract work at Nortel through contacts there. Your daily list of new job posting was appreciated as it gave hope while I was out of work. I was comforted by the fact that there were real jobs within Ottawa. I applied to many of them without success. I'm sure it was equally hard on the screeners to wade through the deluge of resumes they must have received.I heard of PNJ through others looking for work and have recommended your service as well." |
"I appreciate your service; within a 2 month span, I found full-time employment with the help of PNJ through private organizations. I have recommended your service to many others seeking employment. I found a job through your service through Mnapower working for Abbott Laboratories. It was exactly what I was looking for. I started looking seriously when I signed up for your service in March / April . I actually had 3 job interviews through your service and was offered two of the three jobs in the same week, both in my field of material management / production control. If I need to look for work again I will re-sign up for your service."
Judy Bowring
"Well, Peter's New Jobs is 2 for 2 for me. Roughly a year ago I found a contract position through the PNJ list. Now, I've recently found my second job through the PNJ list, this one permanent. Peter's New Jobs List has been such an unbelievably valuable resource for me I have every intention of continuing my subscription. It allows me to spend MUCH less time searching myself and has none of the annoyances that working with the big job sites like Monster or Workopolis has. |
"I am happy to report that the reason why I did not renew my PNJ subscription is that I no longer need it, for the moment: I am now in week 5 of a new (permanent) position at a national association.Although the position is one that I found outside of your service, I do want to communicate to you that I found, and continue to find, your offering an excellent one, from conception to content to delivery. I have referred many people to your service, and they all concur: it's fantastic. I will continue to refer job seekers to you, without hesitation." |
