Work in Calgary

[Bowvechkin]

Hey all,

I'm heading back over to Calgary soon and just wondering about work, how hard is it to get work in Calgary and if anyone knows any places that are good to try or even websites to search for jobs that would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Chris

What kind of work do you do? Not all job sites are created equally depending on what work you want.

Most likely office administration/customer service work as that's what I have experience in.

Everyone I know, that didn't have a job a year or two ago, has one now. It's pretty good out there.

Yup, numbers looking pretty good. Wages should be good as well with oil prices up for a quite a while now (trickle down effects and all.)

Ontario and Alberta are leading the employment gains, showing 40,000 and 22,000 new jobs in June respectively. Nova Scotia was also up in June, with a more modest 3,800 jobs created.

Looking at the percentage unemployment figures by province, with the previous month's rate in brackets:

• Newfoundland 12.3 (11.9)
• Prince Edward Island 12.0 (11.9)
• Nova Scotia 8.7 (9.0)
• New Brunswick 9.6 (9.5)
• Quebec 7.9 (7.3)
• Ontario 7.7 (7.9)
• Manitoba 5.5 (5.3)
• Saskatchewan 4.9 (5.0)
• Alberta 5.6 (5.4)
• British Columbia 7.3 (7.6)

Calgary Police are hiring - they had a big display at the Stampede.

Pffft, get a job with some honor.

I am hiring a VW salesman, see the power ring thread.

I have a posting out right now for an EIT and it looks to me like all the graduates from the last two years are still looking for work.
