Hi I am a newbie in this Canadian Content forum.
I am seriously contemplating to relocate to find a work in Alberta as an oilrig worker or draftsperson or something that promise much better career prospective. Or maybe I should take welding courses local college to become a journeyperson.
I used to work in Windsor, Ontario as plastic injection molding engineer (not Professional Engineer yet) after graduating from university in Saskatchewan for three years. Then recent strong Canadian dollar (against US $) hits manufacturing industry tremendously. I have got downsized; colleagues and I have not see any rebound so far.
Posting resumes on job websites likes of www.monster.ca, ca.hotjobs.yahoo.com, and www.workopolis.com resulted no opportunity so far past two months. I have moved back to hometown of Saskatchewan so see how things are going in the west, I even consider labour position.
I am just wondering if I can find Alberta-based employment agencies with strong local industry connection… I do appreciate your input.
I am bit scared to move to Fort McMurray without job offer, zero business connections or no friends whatsoever.
Thanks
