Finding a job as a young person can be challenging, but there are some ways to make things a little easier.
Luckily for young Calgarians, the city will be hosting a hiring fair for job seekers ages 15 to 24 in the Big Four building in Stampede Park.
According to the official city website, it’s recommended that you dress to impress, bring a pen in case you have to complete any forms, and be ready to provide plenty of copies of your resume.
The hiring fair will take place on Thursday, April 2 — giving you some time to get those resumes in order.
Some of the employers present will be hiring from different people of minimum ages. Below is a list of the employers by their minimum age requirements (though more may be added closer to the event).
