Why Choose the JobPro Directory?

JobPro makes finding better employment faster and easier by providing you with company and contact information for employers predisposed to hiring you based on your interests, experience and abilities.

Employers want to hire someone they know, trust and like, and so finding work is largely about getting to know, and becoming known by people having the power to hire you. JobPro saves you time expanding your network of contacts to include these people, and more than pays for itself when you find work even one day faster than without it.

An investment in the JobPro Directory provides you with the most up to date and complete company and contact information at the lowest cost. Compare JobPro to the BC Manufacturers Directory, a quality competing resource published by BC Stats:

The Importance of Work Experience
Research has shown that students' job placement after graduation is often most closely related to the amount of time they have spent gaining work experience as undergraduates and their understanding of appropriate job searching techniques.

As a result, it's extremely important for students to take advantage of co-operative education job-placement services early in their academic career. The earlier and more involved students get in their long-term career aspirations, the greater the likelihood they will land satisfying employment after graduating.

Job Mentoring
Students need to begin building contacts with people in companies and non-profit organizations that might appeal to them early in their academic careers. Connections made early and developed while students are in school often prove invaluable during their job search.

Job mentoring programs assist students in connecting with professionals in relevant career fields, and encourage them to get involved in work or professional related clubs on campus that will help them build their portfolios and work experience prior to interviewing for jobs.

JobPro Directory Features and Benefits

Features	Benefits
Draws on an unequalled wealth of Company and Contact information to get you past company "gatekeepers" and open communication channels between you and people having the power to hire you. JobPro includes Company Name, Full Address, Phone, Fax, E-mail, Web Site, Company Notes, Contact Notes, Business Category, Products/Services offered and more. JobPro also supplies Key Employer Contacts including Name, Title, Phone, E-mail and Contact Notes.	JobPro more than pays for itself when you find better employment faster and save thousands of dollars in lost wages by minimizing time spent "between jobs".
Quickly finds Company and Contact information stored in the JobPro database, employer and other web sites leveraging built-in Google and internet WhoIs database integration. JobPro shows related companies within seconds by finding web sites linking to any selected company's web site. JobPro enables you to view company web sites dating back to when the company launched its first web site. JobPro searches all database fields, including 7 user-defined fields.	You save time using pre-selected, quality employer contacts and learn about employers you would otherwise not have known existed. JobPro is by far the best job search resource for job seekers proactively targeting Vancouver and area employers to take advantage of job openings within the "hidden job market".
Launches employer web sites in your browser automatically or at the click of a button. Includes built-in E-mail sending and AutoDial phone support.	You save time researching and contacting companies.
Instantly creates personalized, template-based E-mail and Microsoft Word cover letters. Both E-mail subject and message body may include 'custom tags' which JobPro replaces with Contact Name, Title, Company Name, Street Address, etc. The JobPro Registered Email service alerts you by E-mail when contacts open your cover letter, enabling you to make follow-up phone calls timed for maximum effectiveness.	You can make yourself known to employers more easily and without error. You know when to call and introduce yourself - immediately after your qualifications have been viewed by company decision makers.
Maps company locations based on any searchable criteria including Street Address, City, Postal Code, Business Category, etc. using Microsoft MapPoint integration. Location mapping and all directory searches may be filtered by business category, so that for example, only Manufacturing companies within postal code 'V5L' are mapped and listed in search results. Creates simple routes from your location to any chosen company within seconds. Also creates optimized routes which include numerous stops. JobPro in addition leverages Google Hybrid Maps (satellite imagery with streets overlay) to map individual companies and simple routes. This feature helps you distinguish larger employers from home businesses.	You save time using optimized routes and driving directions. Knowing company locations helps you more selectively target employers, saving you time and money during your job search and also later when you are working.
Program administrators may hide and disable JobPro's company and contact editing and E-mail functionality at the click of a button. JobPro is self-updating via the internet, enabling you to take advantage of program and directory enhancements as they become available.	Using JobPro becomes even easier while Company and Contact information is protected from unwanted modification. Organizations offering JobPro in their Employment Resource Centres will find this "read only" mode invaluable.
