• Professional Associations

• Company Websites

• Google

• LinkedIn

• Company Directories

• Chamber of Commerce Websites

• Sector Council Listings

• Financial Services Canada

Although you can make initial contact with the HR department, it's typically best to connect directly with the person doing the work that you would like to do. You can often find contact information for this person via a company's website or, in larger organizations, by calling a company to access their staff directory.
