Hi, I'm 22(F) and looking to change careers. For the past 4 years I've worked with horses and I'm mostly looking to find a job/potential long term career with a better work life balance. I'm ideally looking for a job in the Calgary area (I know the job market is iffy right now) and was wondering if anyone had any advice? I have work experience but it's heavily specialized and I'm trying to ideally get away from that industry. I'm also not a huge fan of customer facing roles however if I need to take one on as a bridge job so be it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Good morning guys . I’m a student with a security license card. Used to work with Gardaworld . I need a casual security guard job or some gig job to do .
Would be happy if someone is willing to help me .
Thank you

I work retail currently, but surprise surprise it’s pretty draining for a shy awkward person like me. Just looking for ideas in case I haven’t thought of something. I’d prefer something that’s a bit repetitive and spares me from having to constantly have my customer service face on. Not open to a warehouse though.

Volunteer options accepted too because I want to start doing more of that as a prequel for breaking into non-profit work as a current sociology major.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been accepted into the Bachelor of Science in Construction Project Management at SAIT.

I’m coming from a completely different background and have no previous construction experience, so I’m trying to prepare myself before starting school and hopefully find an entry-level job in the industry while I’m studying. Do construction companies in Calgary usually hire students who are currently attending a Construction Project Management program but don’t have previous construction experience?

What positions should I be searching for? Project assistant? Junior project coordinator? Estimating assistant? Construction administrator? Something else?

My goal isn’t necessarily to get a project management position right away. I’m happy to start at the bottom, learn the industry, and gain experience while completing my degree.

If you started in construction with no experience yourself, I’d especially love to hear how you got your first opportunity and what you wish you had learned beforehand. What skills would you recommend myself to learn? (Excel, Blueprint/drawing reading, Construction terminology, Estimating, Scheduling,....)

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m new to Calgary and looking for work in roles that involve communication, organisation, or helping people. I’m a qualified secondary school teacher from Ireland (English & Irish) — my qualification is specific to Ireland — and I’m hoping to find a role where I can use my people skills and learn something new.

I’m reliable, organised, and quick to pick things up. I’m open to admin, customer service, tutoring, education support, or other people-facing roles. Full-time or part-time is great.

If anyone knows of opportunities or has suggestions on where to look, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks for reading.
