Job Posting sites: Being aware of Job Posting sites that advertise PEI jobs is very important. But remember only 15 percent of jobs actually available are advertised. Check each Job Posting site regularly because each one might have slightly different postings, click here.

Informational Interviews: Because only 15 percent of jobs are actually advertises you have to go looking for the rest and the one that fits you.
