Out of curiousity, why she doesn't go back to Telus? The way my sister raves about it, Telus sounds like the place to be...?
As for these online sites that promise the right employees and the best jobs, they just sound bogus altogether. I'm not surprised to hear your assessment.
My opinion is that your wife needs to narrow down the fields she's looking to work in (and is good at) and then go around and kick tires. Make custom resumes for the various jobs she's willing to take and then work the phone like a maniac to find out which companies are hiring and for which positions. Then drop off specific resumes that tout her skills in the fields that those companies are looking for.
Example: your wife may be good at book keeping AND oil & gas secretarial. Google the hell out of local companies that are in oil & gas, and google book keeping positions and make a list and drop off (read: email) resumes, and show up for interviews.
I guess I'm also saying that great jobs don't just land on your plate. Seek them out, have a strategy, and don't be afraid to say no. And don't settle for crap. There are lots of places looking for the right person. But most of these places don't advertise in the Herald or the Sun or on dorkopolis. They find their employees through word of mouth or by employees finding them.
Consider it 'pre-employment employment'.
