Spring & New Jobs are almost here!

Everyone knows that January and February feel like the longest months of the year! If you have been out of work lately don’t fear Spring is just around the corner even if it doesn’t feel like it weatherwise. This year we will see an increase in junior to mid level jobs all over the province. We are slowly but surely on the path to a healthier and happier economy.
If you are looking to get into a new career, let me recommend the Trades. Employer’s in the next 1-10 years will be crying for help in these fields with the baby boomer’s now or about to retire. Post 2010 Winter Olympics will also see a rise in the Tourism industry as Vancouver is now a “hot” vacation spot after much needed boost to our city through the fantastic coverage of the Winter games.
