A couple of months ago I believe I gave a big list of places to search jobs in GP including some recruiting agencies. You could check out those websites to see what is offered these days in your field. I pulled up HRDC to see what jobs are being offered in GP. Not so much in the IT sector though.

Alberta like elsewhere in Canada it is unrealistic to believe that you can just come into town and expect to get a job in your field the next day. This certainly may have been the case a year ago but even in Alberta you'll see signs of the slowdown. I am not disputing the fact that GP doesn't have tons of jobs (as it certainly does) BUT to find one in your field may take a bit of searching. \

Yes there are the oil field jobs, the retail jobs, the service industry jobs but do a search and you'll be hard pressed to find many IT jobs. When you heard about the HELP Wanted signs all over it will usually mean that stores are looking for retail help and companies looking for the trades. If you're willing to work in any of those industries you will have no problem finding a job. Sometimes recruiting and temp agencies are better at finding specialized jobs.

The following is a job site for GP - note the names of some of the recruiting agencies found within.

Here are the names of two Recruiting Agencies in GP in case they weren't on my previous list.

Hopefully these will help you find the job you are looking for.

Good Luck

Depending on what you're looking to do, the work in GP is relatively abundant. If you're serious about going to work, you shoud be able to step off the plane on Monday and be working by Tuesday. Help wanted signs practically EVERYWHERE!

Go chat up Best Buy! They're brand new and will be looking for people long into the new year!
