Yes it is February. Toronto finally has some snow today. Looks nice, but chances are it has many Greater Toronto Area college and university students thinking about spring break--either hitting the slopes north of the city, or escaping the bitter winter cold for warmer climes.
SMART students will get the jump on spring break daydreamers and start hitting the classifieds for summer jobs. Seasonal employment fairs have already begun throughout the GTA!
If you want the pick of summer jobs, now is the time to start looking. Your summer job can mean the difference between a fun or boring summer; It can also make or break you financially. Don't miss the first few money-making weeks of summer searching for a job after exams... start looking now so you hit the road running this spring.
Some employers will be looking for a part-time commitment before school ends, which if you are going to school nearby, can really help out as those finances begin to dwindle as the school year winds up this spring.
Visit TorontoJobClassifieds.com often for updated listings of local jobs fairs, GTA student employment opportunities and Seasonal Work.

Announcing New Job Classifications to Make Searching for a GTA Job Easier!
TorontoJobClassifieds.com announced today the introduction of five new job classifications, to make searching for jobs on the website even easier. This brings the total number of classifications to 54. Having more job classifications helps job seeker better refine their searches.
The five new job posting classifications are:
Toronto Green Jobs: A classification whose time has come! Jobs that have anything to do with the environment, sustainability, green energy, waste reduction, pollution reduction, air or water quality and everything in between.
Toronto Domestic Help, Caregivers, and Personal Support Workers (PSWs): This is in response to job postings that did not quite fit our ECE & Childcare and Healthcare Jobs pages. Our editors found that some jobs in this classification were being posted in General Help and other broader categories. We felt that creating a more specific classification would be helpful to both job seekers and employers. Job postings in this classification will primarily be to work in a private home and may be posted by recruiters, health aid and caregiver recruitment agencies, or by private families.
Toronto Design Jobs: This job classification is in response to many requests to help refine searches that have anything to do with design work in the GTA. Jobs in this category might previously have been found anywhere from Arts & Entertainment, Communications, or Skilled Trades Job classifications. Design jobs posted under this classification area would include, graphic, interior and fashion design jobs, as well as some stylists, architects and engineers and tangential job opportunties in the various sectors of the design industry, for example, administrative, assisstive, and managerial positions.
Natural Resource Management, Mining & Extraction Jobs: Again, here is a bit of an amalgamation or various requests for a new classification to fit jobs in mining, oil & gas industry, forestry, and natural resources jobs. Clearly, some of these jobs will be to work outside of the GTA, thorought the province of Ontario, and indeed Canada-wide. Employers and recruiteres posting their free job ads in this category should speficy the work location; if the job is in the "Ontario" or "Out of Province" category, please remember to include the exact locale of the job in the body of the job description. Doing this will help to pre-screen your applicants to ensure they will be willing to work in your area.
Toronto Jobs for Internationally Trained and/or Experienced Workers: It is a common problem for new Canadians... not being able to find jobs in their career of choice, even when they have the requisite training or certification from a foreign land. This job classification is meant to assist both employers and job seekers; this search refinement will help to funnel individuals with skills and experience to jobs in their field where the employer does not require Canadian Training or perhaps experience. Without a job classification such as this it would be difficult to determine how important having Canadian experience would be to the employer. This classification would also be useful for those from Canada who gained work experience abroad.
While having a lot of job classifications can be a little overwhelming at first glance, it is apparent from our experience that having a variety of search refinements makes it ultimately easier for job seekers to find specific kinds of jobs. It also reduces the number of postings the job seeker will need to go through in each category.
We welcome input from employers, recruiters and job seekers on new job classifications. Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments area below, or email us at editor@torontojobclassifieds.com.

Still Jobs in Toronto as U.S. Posts Worst Job Losses in 16 Years
The U.S. Labour department reported Friday that more than half a million Americans lost their jobs in December, while this was not quite as bad as expected, it is still the worst decline in 16 years.
Reuters quotes, Richard Yamarone, chief economist at Argus Research in New York as saying "The job situation is ugly and is going to get uglier. There's no reason to expect hiring anytime in the next three to six months. We are not going to see any hiring until the government steps in and acts. Talk doesn't work," said .
The stunning job losses were predominantly in the service-business sector.
Here in Toronto we are seeing certain industries pushed to the brink. However, there are jobs to be found. TorontoJobClassifieds.com continues to receive a good flow of job postings as well as job fair announcements throughout the GTA, indicating there is still a great deal of hiring going on.

Jobs to Consider: Window Film Installer
When you hear the term window film installer, you may think of the automotive tinting industry. However, there is a growing market in the Greater Toronto Area for architectural window films, generating a great opportunity for window film installers to get in on the ground floor of a booming industry.
Architectural window films are self-adhesive polyester films applied to existing glass to provide a wide variety of benefits. Like automotive films, tints can provide daytime privacy. There are a number of solar control window films in varieties from tinted to clear which keep interiors cooler and help balance heat in sunny window throughout the year. Low-emissivity films do a similar job, with the added benefit that they keep heat in during the winter--both are a great way to conserve energy and save money for home and business owners alike.
Safety and Security window films hold glass together to prevent injury from flying glass when broken and are a significant detterent to break and enter. Great for homes, because they are invisible barriers. Also being used by highly targetted retail establishments, like drug stores and LCBOs.
Decorative films can be used for privacy or to enhance decor. Films are avaialable in simple, elegant frosts to a wide variety of colours and patterns.
The good news is, installation methods for all of these films is very similar. While some do-it-yourselfers install their own, most window film manufacturers will only honour their warranty if installed by approved professionals. Window film installers work on either salaried or contract basis in Toronto. Most window film dealers are willing to train the 'right' person for the job. Who is the right person? The job requires a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail. Windows must be spotlessly cleaned, films carefully cut and applied with meticulous accuracy. Window film installers may be required to work flexible hours to accommodate client needs. Because window film installers may be working in occupied homes, they must be very discreet and respectful of people and property.
