What is the best method for job searching these days, when you have a very broad scope? I'm interested in working in the US (primarily NYC, Boston, silicon valley, Seattle, similar cities regarding size/culture), Canada (Vancouver, Toronto), and Australia (Sydney, Melbourne). It's been a long time since I had to job search like this, my previous jobs for the last few years have soft of fallen into my lap. Should I use LinkedIn? Is Monster still even used? Should I just go the traditional method and target specific companies/organizations that I research? Should I contact recruiters and start out on contract work until I get to know the area and make contacts? For context, I'm a fairly solidly qualified wintel help desk tech, and take tier 1/tier 2 tickets on a consistent basis at work. I have about 3 years experience that includes 2 years field work (working for an MFP dealer) and a year remote support, A+ and MCSA in 2012, 4 year degree, US citizen, workable Spanish. Currently I'm working remote from South America, but the company I'm working for doesn't really have an opportunity for me to move beyond help desk. Right now I'm mainly looking for 1) location 2) ability to expand my skillset. As long as I have enough money to have my own place, and I'm not working ridiculous hours, it's OK with me.

I doubt you can get a work permit in Canada. Helpdesk is not really in demand.

Getting on LinkedIn certainly couldn't hurt. How did you get this job in the first place? Just do that over again.

Canada/BC tech recruiting leverages Linkedin pretty heavily, so I would definitely make sure you've got a solid profile on there.

For Australia, I would say look at seek (https://www.seek.com.au) it's pretty much the place that employers will advertise and perhaps career one as an alternative.
