Jobs Open

Will users be allowed to post jobs directly to this site?
No — It's too time intensive.

I don't like cookies.
Quite understandable. Cookies are put on your hard disk by someone else, which can make anybody nervous. However cookies cannot harm your computer in anyway.

Can cookies be used steal your credit card numbers.
Only if an incredibly negligent company, or criminal employee of a company, that you bought something from, stores the numbers and passwords in a cookie. However after much effort you can usually get the money back. The risks are very low. Giving your credit card to a waiter or bartender is more dangerous.

Jobs on the site are ordered by time and date of first uploading. Often jobs are renewed. In this case they don't go to the front of the queue, but retain their existing ranking.
However, since mid February 2009 Jobs-Open has been saving the date of first upload and noting the fact at the bottom of the job advert. This may be useful to job seekers.

Filled, expired, and withdrawn jobs.

Early each morning all jobs are checked to see if they are still available and links to the job are removed if they are not. Under normal circumstances it should not be possible to browse to a job that has been unavailable for more than 24 hours.
If you have book-marked a certain job, the book mark will still work for several more weeks, but the job will say unavailable and all contact information will be removed.

If details of a job are changed on the day it is posted, the change will not be caught as we are indexing by posing date and order number, and these will not change.
It would be possible to catch the change by crawling the entire HRDC site each night, but doing this would incur the righteous wrath of HRDC for wasting their band width.
Actualy we're working on a simpler solution, which should be in place soon.

As previously stated, jobs on the site are ordered by time and date of first uploading. Canada has six time zones which affects when jobs are added to the site.
Early in the morning all the latest jobs come from Atlantic Canada Late at night most of the latest jobs come from BC. Individual employers can add also their own job outside normal office hours. While a few early birds do this in the early morning, more often it happens in the evening,. Combine the last two factors and you get a slew of live-in nanny jobs in BC added in the late evening.

Sometimes Google Maps dosen't work as expected, and you will have to edit the address to get the program to perform correctly.

Frequently it is extra information in the address that is causing the problem. Google Maps gets confused with details such as units, suits and instructions such as at the back, 2nd floor and some times they don't know the name of a mall.
Rural Routes and PO boxes might be part of a mailing address, but you don't normally find them on a map. The cure is simple – delete the extra material.

Need a gap between each segment of the address occasionally the words run together.

Postal codes always work and give the correct street in urban areas, and usually the correct side of the street, and the building if it is a big one.

Misspellings do happen. Mississauga is one of the favorites.

PO boxes are the address of the post office not the business.
