Looking for a job?
Is it hard to get a job in Victoria? No, not particularly. And of course it depends on what kind of job you're looking for. The easiest thing to come by around here is something mind-numbing in food service or retail. Good god it's easy these days, we're in the middle of a labour shortage! And there's so much easy work to be found doing construction. If you've got some kind of marketable skill and some education to back it up, chances are you can find work for the Provincial Government, the Parks department, or something like that. The local medical industry is big. There are more and more opportunities opening up for high-tech careers and that sort of thing, and there's plenty of opportunities in the hospitality & tourism industry.
Victoria has a good deal of resources for finding employment, so with a bit of determination and organization... good luck!
