Presentation:

The State of Hiring -- Project Management Opportunities in Edmonton

So you applied to a job and heard nothing in return… you interviewed and received generic feedback on why you didn’t get the job…  you aren’t sure which direction you should take your career in order to set you up for future success.  It’s a familiar story!  As IT recruiters, we have unique insight into the hiring process from beginning to end.  From the initial application, to the interviews and offer stage, we have guided countless individuals through their careers towards their desired goals.  In this session we will address current trends in the Edmonton IT market, explore the difference between contract and permanent Project Management roles, how to apply and interview effectively, and the role that recruiters play in aiding your job search.
