Searching for a Job

by cassandraw on May 3, 2012

 Attending a post secondary institution can be a great experience, but finding a summer job or a full time career can be stressful.  If you are looking for employment in the agriculture industry there are various websites available such as Ag careers and indeed jobs.   With these websites you can choose which province you wish to work in and have them send you emails when jobs open up.  There is also a link on the Olds College website with a variety of job postings, no matter what program you are enrolled in. This method can be effective for students who are looking for a job/career in another province. 

          It is strongly recommended that students begin their job search after Christmas so that they can find one that they enjoy.  This is also a useful method for students who are enrolled in any of the applied degree courses as it opens doors to different sectors of  the industry and to gain practical experience.

Good luck job hunting!!
