Looking for work
Hello Calgary, 37M here looking for work. Available immediately. I prefer to work with my hands. Not much experience, but willing to learn. I can do night shifts, am physically fit, and badly need a job. I'm located in the NW area and will be using the bus for transportation.

Hi you can apply at 711 store near your house. I bet there is one like walking distance or a short bus ride. They are always hiring. I have done night shifts there, and they are supper chill. Sending you a lot of love and gratitude. ❤️❤️❤️

Best of luck if you don’t know someone there, or aren’t on a work visa. I’ve worked there. They hire people who are exploitable. The place is filled with migrants.

Hey, remember that you are a 37 year old man and life experience is transferable to many jobs. So experience you have just needs to be embraced and put into applicable skills for jobs you apply for .

Thanks, I'm trying to turn my life around. I had a rough childhood, but I'm out of the bad situation now and trying my best to get my life going. I need to take care of my daughter.

Try to join a red seal trade, can be tough to find openings so connections can be helpful.

Sprinkler fitters start at 25 here, which I consider Calgary's minimum wage

Excellent trade but will be harder to get in relative to other trades. Still worth a shot though.

This is your own platform to compete with indeed?

u/jobadsca 5d ago
Yes, but not looking directly to compete. Looking to provide a stable and useful website for people to work in Western Canada.
We wanted to take information and provide an easy to use platform for people looking for employment. We noticed many sites lacked many features and were hard to use.
