I really think it's all about how you do in the interview, and what kind of experience you have. I have never found it "hard" to get work in Calgary. Although I doubt that's the same mentality for others.
what types of jobs have you been applying for?

what are the starting salaries of the positions you declined?

I have passed on jobs as well, but positions with starting salaries of 35k a year. I am looking for 50k as a starting / base, which is reasonable in my mind.

I got a job right out of university that started at 50k 2 years ago, and was making up to 75k before I was laid off
