For example, the company I work for rarely ever advertises. We have a steady stream of applicants all the time.. and it just comes down to applying at the right time.

Your best bet is to either look at company specific websites or just go and talk to people in person. You might also want to check provincial and municipal websites as they quite often have their own job banks. University websites and bulletin boards are another place to look. If you are looking in a specific field, you might also just do a google search for; "Jobs in ___________". There are often people or groups that consolidate job posting from various sources for people job hunting.
Im in accouting field, but its not what I want to do. Its just a dead end job that ive been working at. My contract is up July 1st (day of NHL free agency woot!) and ive been looking for a new job for the past 3-4 months!

Honestly, right now cause I know my career is shot and wont ever happen with me, when I look for work...Im open to just about anything. When I do see jobs posted for work in my "dream field...that I will never work in", I just ignore it and chuckle in disgust. I dont even bother trying to apply for jobs in my "dream field" cause it will never happen and just be a waste of time. Thats why I apply to just about anything now.
