What's Happening in Calgary, AB…

There is a misconception that finding a job is impossible in the summer because companies are not hiring. However, a Calgary-based professional coach says that is not true. A good start in finding a job during the summer is to order the printing of Business Cards for you to hand out to prospective employers.

While Eileen Dooley does admit that hiring does slow down during the summer due to vacations, she also states that August is the busiest time for interviews and the hiring of new employees.

Many job seekers who believe that companies are not hiring in the summer take a holiday from their job search. This just makes it easier for those who continue to look for work to land interviews and possibly jobs.

Dooley suggests that you attend networking events and let the people you meet know that you are looking for a job. She suggests that the upcoming Calgary Stampede is the perfect opportunity for job seekers to network. During this event there are numerous corporate parties, pancake breakfasts, barbecues and sporting events which are just perfect for meeting employers and for handing out your business card. She mentions that any networking during such events should be "soft", like casually mentioning you are seeking employment when talking to others.

Finding a job at any time is not easy and the summer does have unique challenges. However, you must always be prepared to embrace new opportunities. So, get those Business Cards in shape, you never know when you might be offered a job.Get a Free Quote for Business Cards
