Seeking Employment
Drayton Valley usually offers a high demand of
employment in the oilfield and hospitality industries.
While for the most part there is an abundance of work,
things can slow down significantly in the oilfield business
at various times of the year due to road bans, repairs
and softening of the grounds. Try to plan for those slow
times, have something lined up before those months
approach.
Even if you get a fantastic job in Drayton Valley right away, remember that your first
paycheque may not arrive for at least two weeks after you start your new position.
Preferably, come to Drayton Valley with enough money to last you at least one month
while you look for a job and settle in.
