Hi Fran,
I am a Human Resources Consultant in Canada. I have hired numerous people either locally or abroad for organizations. Speaking from experience, you may want to ensure that your resume is professional and sell you well before looking for work. Nothing is worse then spending hours looking for work only to be ignored due to a weak resume. You really need to sell yourself on paper, especially if you are not local and are applying from overseas. Once you have a well prepared resume then start applying. This will give you more confidence and give you a better chance of catching an employers attention. I have worked with HRinmotion.com in the past and I have had nothing but positive feedback from individuals who have used their services. I was actually told about this company by HR professionals in the industry.
I wish you much success!
Mark
