Job Fair Ready to Roll
Prince George, B.C.- It is one of the largest job fairs in Northern B.C, and it’s happening today at the College of New Caledonia in Prince George.
From 10 this morning to 3 this afternoon, anyone looking for a job is encouraged to drop in to the CNC atrium to talk with some of the employers who will be on scene.
“We have about 35 different employers scheduled to take part” says CNC Manager of Communications Annette Stevens. She says employers include the RCMP, the Rocky Mountain rangers, City of Prince George, Canfor, accounting firms, Northern Health, and the Canada Winter Games.
“It’s a great opportunity to learn more about certain jobs, and to be able to personally deliver your resume” says Stevens. She says one job seeker last year sparked such interest from one of the employers that an interview room was set up and the job seeker was hired on the spot. “We will have an interview room ready this year to accommodate those instant interview requests”.
The Northworks! Job fair also offers an opportunity for those who have yet to choose a path for their career. “People can ask lots and lots of questions , so it’s a chance to investigate just what the jobs are all about” says Stevens.
The Northworks! Job fair is now into it’s eleventh year.

Would be nice if these Job Fairs ran till six so others can check it out after work or something…
Hold it in the evening or on the weekend. What’s the point of holding it on a week day while most of the people who would like to attend are either in school or working.
If anyone seriously wanted a job they would make the time work. I wouldn’t want to hire someone anyway if they were only casually checking it out and then only if the time fit their schedule…
yeahh weekend sounds good.. Then will have a bigger pool to draw from..
So interceptor anyone can get away from work any time they want, ya right.
Yep should be till later in the evening. Those that still have a job looking for new opportunities can’t make it during these hours. I’m not sure if it’s all local companies at this fair but I know almost every company in the oil and gas industry (northern BC and AB) is hiring, though it is just before spring breakup right now.
Phone in sick to see if you can find a better job? What could go wrong?
