Hey guys, I am currently looking to move back down in the Vancouver area. I'm just wondering if anyone is looking for an extra employee so I have a job lined up for when I get there. I only require 2 weeks notice to move so that will give me time to pack and find a place to live!

I am 26 years old, male, and physically fit. I have 4 years of military experience with Princess Patricias Canadian Light Infantry in Edmonton as a Corporal, served a tour of duty in Afghanistan, and now working part time with the B.C. Dragoons, plus I do online parts sales as well.

The problem is that the army doesn't really give you any transferable skills to the civilian work place besides being a police officer, correctional officer, security, etc. Also, apparently the army won't pay for my schooling now since there has been budget cuts so I kinda got screwed over.

My previous jobs were working at Culligan Water, Shaw Cable, Manteo Resort, freelance photographer, and at a performance car shop doing part sales.

I would love to have a trade if someone was willing to teach me but I am open to all types of work. No minimum wage B.S, pyramid scams, outbound call centers, etc. My last job was 60k/year with full benefits so I am looking for something RESPECTABLE and realistic for the high cost of living there. I am also willing to start at a lower rate while being trained as long as I am guaranteed that I will be able to climb up in the company.

I will be looking on Craigslist for employment also but I thought I would try here first. So, if anyone is looking for a dependable employee or knows of someone that is, please let me know.

Thanks for reading.
