Частина друга - Resources to help you find tech careers in Alberta (part 2/2)
8. Connect with recruiters. Employee fees are illegal in Alberta, so it won't cost you anything! Make the best resume you can and connect with every recruiter you can find - make sure you are in their database. Local recruiters and companies have no idea about you - make it easy for them and let them know that you are available!
A couple of big ones I know that you can try (there are more):
