There are many resources that you may find helpful in career exploration or looking for work in general.
Here are a few you may wish to start with:
The Government of Alberta‘s site – alis – offers great career exploration and planning tools.
Sign up for your free account, engage in some career interest inventories/quizzes, and explore the suggested careers that are revealed through your answers to the inventory questions.

Here you will find labour market information, fields of study, wages, trends and news, etc.
