We are aware that most countries are passing through economic recession, and facing the resultant loss of jobs. Yet, Alberta province of Canada is facing a shortage of manpower with experience in gas and oil sector. Many Canadian companies are almost pleading people experienced in that sector to come and work with them. Nevertheless, if you are considering relocating to Canada, you should know a couple of things pertaining to those jobs in Canada.
Statistically speaking almost twenty percent of jobs in Alberta are provided by gas and oil sector which also contributes to more than thirty percent of the revenue of that province. But that doesn't mean that anybody will be offered a job in this sector. Unless you have hands down on the job experience of working in any part of gas and oil industry, you won't be able to assess the kinds of skills that are needed for such jobs and how tough such jobs can be. Most of the available jobs involve extremely high level of physical and mental strain and necessarily require travelling. You can surely get a job without much of an effort if you have the requisite experience, but be prepared for a tough life. Another point not to be ignored is that many of these are not regular but seasonal jobs, requiring you to work in exceptionally remote or secluded areas.
Gas and oil industry of Alberta offers many job opportunities. Those from the construction industry can easily find jobs there. Then, there is always requirement for experienced drill operators, fabricators and derrick erectors. Moreover, there are a number of related jobs like those of cooks, maintenance specialists, and janitors who are essentially needed in gas and oil industry. Though there is no dearth jobs but employers requirements are quite specific, meaning that one needs to be well versed with the environs of working in this field and be skilled in any of the main or connected trades. Of course, one can find many jobs at entry level but with many looking for such jobs, the competition is quite severe.
There is none denying the fact that Alberta has many job opportunities but keep in mind that most jobs are labor intensive that are carried out in very deserted areas under ruthless environments. Moreover, travelling is almost mandatory. As can be expected, employers are on the lookout for people who are seriously looking for a career in this industry rather than those looking to make just fast money. However, one can expect career growth even on joining this industry at entry level. Under the present circumstances when there is a scarcity of jobs the world over, it is indeed heartening to note that Alberta presents an excellent opportunity to those willing to work hard under tough environs and build their career.
