Welcome to the CareerOwl Corner newsletter, a new source for news about jobs in Canada.

You'll find a selection of Christmas and Holiday Greeting images already up on www.OwlGreetings.ca. You can also upload your own pictures to use in your personal greeting cards. You can have OwlGreetings e-mail your cards for you on specified dates or include the links to your cards in messages you send out yourself. As always, this service is 100% free and will not result in you or the recipients of your cards receiving newsletters or ads from merchants.

CareerOwl is also free for you, the jobseekers, and very low cost for employers ($25 per job posting compared with hundreds on the commercial services). University professors and their families across Canada donated the start-up funding for both CareerOwl and OwlGreetings.

In this season of giving, you too can help support CareerOwl and OwlGreetings by using the links on CareerOwl when buying books and other goods from Chapters, Amazon and other merchants with affiliate links on the CareerOwl site.
