They provide cover letter and resume examples, to ensure that your resume & cover letter will catch the attention of the employer. There are many articles on the site, including "Top 100 Interview Questions", which can help prepare you for your interview. Monster.ca features a basic, but detailed job search engine.

The job search offers a general search, as well as a search for students and youth. The job search is very detailed and gives you many options to narrow down your search. The government site offers information on employment insurance, frequently asked questions about getting a job, as well as an email alert when a job you desire become available.
