school

diplomas-1.4383394
• Sharlene Massie, CEO of About Staffing, says more and more job
hunters in Calgary have big gaps in their resumes.(Dan
McGarvey/CBC)
• Unemployed and over-educated job seekers need to
consider re-training — going back to school and learning
new skills — if they want to find work in Alberta's current
job market, she says.
• "Just because they've been educated in one particular area,
that doesn't mean that's where they need to stay forever,"
Massie said, adding there are some great opportunities
coming to Calgary.
