Employment seekers flock to Westerner for job fair
Job seekers put their best smiles on Tuesday as they attended the annual Central Alberta Job Fair at Westerner Park.
Roughly 400 people showed up in the first half hour alone.
Aaron Sheppard, Director at Red Deer-based Career Assistance Network, which runs the job fair, says there’s a been a bit of a rally for hiring, but numbers have recently levelled out.
“It’s certainly not back to where it’s a gravy train with biscuit wheels,” he quips. “I think employers are optimistic, but they’re not going full bore.”
