Strategies for Finding a Skilled Trades Job

Skilled trades jobs are both lucrative and in demand.

Many economists have identified a major shortage of skilled tradespeople in Canada for more than a decade. This is great news for job seekers looking to enter a particular trade or find a new position.

But where do you look for a skilled trades job?

Well, you have a few options. In addition to perusing popular online job sites, you can also get in touch with companies in your region to see if they’re currently accepting applications. This is a common strategy but also one that requires a considerable amount of time, effort and patience.

If you’re looking for a position that really matches your skills, contacting a staffing agency is usually your best bet. Staffing agencies have trained recruiters on staff who specialize in matching professionals with positions that are right for them. Working with a recruiter also opens you up to a number of different employment options, including temporary, contract, temp-to-permanent and full-time positions.
