Calgary's largest annual hiring fair is happening this April

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 aged 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.

An employment counsellor will be present at the fair to help you update your resume, create a resume targeted for your desired industry, and help with your elevator pitch.

The hiring fair will take place on Tuesday, April 3, and runs from 1:30 to 6 pm.
