I haven't had any problems in the past sending and receiving text messages to my friends in Beijing and Shanghai. I'm on the Fido/Rogers network here in Canada.
I'd test it out right now but it's 1 am in China.
It's true that there is no universal apply procedure. When you click on one of the jobs in our listing, you're taken to the posting on the company's career site. You have to apply using the tools that they provide. It's going to take you longer to apply for each job, but at least you know that your information is being passed directly to the employer. Often times, it will just be an email address that you send your application to.
You're going to have more luck if you customize your application package for each specific posting, anyway.
By going to Workopolis and limiting my search by city. Also, what your site offers looks alot like the posting on Workopolis. Are you just scraping their site?
No, we're not just scraping their site. If you click on one of our jobs you'll see that you're taken directly to the employer's career site.
I think there's value in a website that caters to my specific industry and location. It's nice to use a site where all the jobs are related to me. Of course, you should use whatever is most useful for you.
I work for a company that builds niche career websites for local tech industries (so get ready for a plug). We're trying to solve the problems that people are having with tradition job boards. We cover most major Canadian cities at the moment.
Lots of jobs
Website is targetted to only one geographic area
Only tech-related positions
Link directly to the job postings on corporate websites
Filled/New positions updated daily
You can see an example for Vancouver here: http://www.techjobsvancouver.com/
1,297 tech jobs in Vancouver as I type this. As I said, there are websites for other cities as well. I'll have to read through all these posts to see how we can improve.
