In the Alberta economy, there is no shortage of jobs. However, there are ways you can put yourself ahead of the competition so you can find a job that is best for you.

Many jobs are advertised in newspapers or posted on job boards, or you can use the internet to search for jobs posted on the World Wide Web.

While large companies usually will advertise for workers, many jobs are filled by making contact with those who know about job openings, or by speaking with others about the kind of work you are looking for.

One of the most important things you can do is understand your own skills, then match them to the kind of job you wish to have. You should contact companies that employ people in the jobs you want, even if they are not hiring – they may be able to provide leads to other sources of work.
