CareerBuilder.ca, a leading online job site in Canada, today announced it is powering the Canadian careers channel for MSN.ca, one of Canada's most popular Internet destinations. While getting the latest in breaking news and entertainment, visitors can also search for the latest job opportunities and career advice.

The partnership comes at a critical time when the unemployment rate in Canada has grown to 8.6 percent and job losses have exceeded 400,000 since last fall, according to the Labour Force Survey.

To help Canadian job seekers quickly interact with potential employers, CareerBuilder.ca is providing MSN.ca users with instant access to job postings in virtually every industry and sector. Users can apply for jobs in real time and post up to five different versions of their resumes to promote their skills to a broader employer audience. They can also tap into articles and advice, written in both English and French, on everything you need to know about job searching in today's economy, hiring trends, workplace issues and career management. The site will even recommend jobs to you based on your skills and job search behavior and send automatic job alerts via email when new listings become available.

"CareerBuilder's new partnership with MSN.ca is yet another exciting addition to our successful partnership with Microsoft worldwide," said Todd McCormick, president of CareerBuilder's Canadian Operation. "Working together, we have helped to connect job seekers and employers across the globe. We see our relationship with MSN.ca as a key opportunity to further impact the market and increase CareerBuilder's traffic, while exposing our customers to Canada's pool of diverse users."

MSN attracts more than 465 million unique users worldwide per month. MSN is a world leader in delivering compelling programmed and original content experiences to consumers and online advertising opportunities to businesses worldwide.

"CareerBuilder is helping MSN.ca deliver one of the best online destinations for Canadian job seekers and employers by providing timely and relevant job postings, related career content and a simple to use online tool to manage the entire experience," said Mary-Ellen Anderson, Executive Producer, MSN.ca

CareerBuilder powers the Careers channels for MSN sites in Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia.
