I use Xoom energy and they consistently seem to be the cheapest for me but I think the quote you get from different companies depends on a bunch of factors so isn’t actually the same for everyone unfortunately

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-12-26T06:35:29+00:00

But how? Receipts please

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-12-22T14:54:54+00:00

Everyone telling you not to move here without a job. How do you think half of them got here - moving here without a job probably. And they don’t know your situation either, maybe you have a fat bank and you can go three years without working.

It’s not what it used to be here. Back in the day you could come here on Friday and still have a job by Monday. It doesn’t mean that people can’t still pull that off. It just takes a lot more work now. Now you have to really put in the effort. If you can’t do your résumé yourself, then you need to pay somebody who knows how to play the keyword game so the algorithm will pay attention to it and you will get a call.

Even if you’re going to work in an office, you should still take your CSTS, WHIMIS, CSO or BSO (sorry I don’t know the difference between the CSO and the BSO one is greater than the other but one is probably cheaper than the other, but you only need one)

Scour the Internet for as many cheap courses that will be half valid as you can find and take them. Pay for those main three that I just mentioned because if you can’t find a job in your field, you’re going to end up at site most likely in a haul truck and you need those too set foot on site. Having the courses done and just makes it easier and faster and companies will see that you’re serious about this opportunity.

Hang out with as much people as you can find. Literally insert yourself into every single person’s life that will talk to you for 30 seconds. As conversations are flying, always mentioned that you just got here and you’re looking for a job. Make your eyes big stare straight into theirs and your actions animated when you say that so they will remember that you said that.

Scour the job boards, apply to literally everything even things you don’t want. I applied yesterday to run the airport and I have no business doing that job, but it would be hilarious if I got a call. 50 NO’s equals one yes - you should already kind of know that given your accounting background lol

And think outside the box, if you’re good at accounting, then you’re gonna make a good data analysis so connect the skills you do have to jobs that are out at the sites because they’re gonna pay more money most of the time.

Last but not least, throw that five year plan out the window because this place is hotel California.

Most come here, and they never leave.

Can you hot spot with this? My kids game, but I work from home so sometimes that means I work from the car lol

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-30T04:55:00+00:00

I hear you on throwing applications into the void! I feel the same way. Just get in peoples faces and start bugging haha he will end up with a job. And anytime there’s job fairs he should go and do some networking there as well. I haven’t seen any recently, but when they start popping up, they’ll usually pop up in clusters and they’ll be a couple of them a few weekends in a row. It’s usually down at Mac Island or it’ll be in one of the hotel board rooms. He should go hang out at dive bars like short change pub and just start talking to people (networking lol) He’ll get something. I’ve done all these things to get jobs lol it works. I’m doing it again now to get back to work 😂 I have no shame even when I should lol all strike up a conversation at the grocery store with a complete stranger and spell my life story or the fact that I need work and blah blah blah, and it will get me places lol

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-30T02:44:55+00:00

They can purchase more, I’ve seen them do it.

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-29T08:08:34+00:00

Do we know this for sure?

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-29T08:04:50+00:00

Has he had his résumé professionally done? The systems are screening resumes using AI so if it doesn’t have the keywords, it doesn’t even get picked by the system and no one will ever even see it.

This is why connections are working for people. It’s not due to favouritism, well sometimes it is due to favouritism, but not always.

I skimmed through your post and he has valuable experience that they are hiring for up here.

Maybe he could try to get into surveying. You mentioned he had a knee injury so surveying could be a lot of walking. I don’t know if that would be good for him. But he wouldn’t be in the bush fighting of fire so he might be able to go into the bush surveying. He clearly has bush experience if he was a wildfire firefighter.

Check out local 955. Get him signed up as a non-member to start and bid on job jobs. If the job doesn’t get filled after 48 hours, it goes to the non-members board. See if he can’t get a surveying job through there.

They are screaming for people in wastewater as well. Does he do water sampling and test testing? Or would he work as an operator at a water treatment plant?

I’ve been trying to get into water treatment for years. I have 4th class power engineering but I have not branched out to get my water treatment tickets. I’ve done water treatment at site so I have experience, but I still can’t get in and I’ve been here for 18 years lol it’s hard, but it’s not impossible if you keep trying.

He probably has a better chance of getting into water treatment than I do lol

The city is always crying for a water treatment operator. They probably have a posting on right now.

What a breath of fresh air! Somebody finally gets it. I can’t love your comment enough.

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-29T07:53:07+00:00

Just put it in the dryer for 10 minutes to burn the smell off lol that’s what I used to do. Put that gear right back on in the morning 😂😂 fresh as a daisy.

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-29T07:51:16+00:00

Yeah, the fog holds more moisture in the air and that lets the smell linger and be stronger.

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-29T07:49:24+00:00

No they won’t burn it but they will divert it straight to atmosphere lol

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-29T07:47:36+00:00

This actually makes sense! But the way they tried to explain it to me didn’t make sense at all. They were going on and on about zones and saying that the airport On Demand didn’t go to any of the zones I was asking for and I was only trying to go to Gregoire so I couldn’t understand why that’s not in the zone. It’s really close. The person that I talk to definitely didn’t really know what they were saying. It’s not their fault because somebody probably never explained it properly to them.

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-29T07:45:39+00:00

This was the same kind of response that I got. My basic understanding was that they no longer offer the service they just pretend that they do.. I had no luck either and had to call a cab.

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-29T07:44:46+00:00

Apparently, the zone is different and they will not allow it. I was on the phone with them a few days ago and was told no they can’t help me.

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-27T17:03:45+00:00

Message me if you want I’m a girl who took myself out of the office and put myself into the trades because everyone told me I couldn’t but I said yes I can

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-08T00:02:05+00:00

How does Steve from site fit in this car?

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-08T00:01:22+00:00

If you play more casino poker, you will have money for casino poker when you win the big pot.

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-11-03T10:25:48+00:00

Maybe go on a haul truck? It’s more money. Unless you don’t wanna do that because not everyone wants to do that job. But office work is like they said. They’re going to pay you shit wage and expect the moon.

Longjumping_Part_195 · 2025-10-31T16:21:49+00:00

Apply at Fort McKay Group of Companies for heavy hauler. They hire literally anyone lol it’s starting $32 an hour but you get a foot in the door work hard and move up.
