1. a class 1 driver's licence for a lonely trucker job
2. a pair of steel toed boots for some tedious low-paid factory work
3. some janitorial experience
4. a desire to go to Alberta

That is a summary of the qualifications you'll need before even thinking of applying for any kind of job in Halifax. Maybe you can add "good strong back" to that list for this winter, for those of you who feel like breaking your back making a pitiful $12/hr shovelling snow at any given time. On top of it all, the internet job classifieds are saturated with low-life scammers. There are more people looking for work than there are jobs available, and yes it's true, it is often only about who you know. I think I'm breaking up with you, Halifax. —lotstooffer
