| 184.1 | Calgary? | CGOO01::LMILLER | Now try it once more ...... | Thu Jun 01 1989 22:12 | 15 |
| Hi,
Why on earth do you want to go to Calgary??? Do you want a job
still with DEC or another company? Remember Calgary is a boom or
bust town depending on natural resources for their economy. Right
now it is fair and on the way up. Calgary also has a lot of regional
offices of the large national/international companies.
I presume you are not in Canada - if not - at the moment it is not
that easy to get in and work, unless you are Canadian/married to
one/refugee under threat of death etc or have some skill no one
else has.

| 184.2 | it's not sobad! | FSCORE::RODERMOND | | Fri Jun 02 1989 14:59 | 15 |
| Interesting reply from a calgarian (assuming, from your node-name):
> Why on earth do you want to go to Calgary???
I'm from Redcliff, and think the west is beautiful. My favorite western drive
is the 180 milesbetween the Hat and Calgary. No trees, lotsa grass and plenty
of antelope. I see nothing wrong with a non-canajun wanting to move to Calgary.
... but ...
BTW, have you ever been there? If that's |no| than maybe I can agree in part
with the previous reply. Don't get into this unless you have a first hand
vision/feeling/experience of what Calgary is like.

| 184.3 | JEQ changes in job descriptions after 1-July | CLOSUS::HOE | Sammy's a toddler now. | Fri Jun 02 1989 16:50 | 12 |
| RE .1
Boy, Linda, which side of the rocks did you fall from? The lady just
asked about Calgary in general.
RE .0
If you're a Digit from GIA, you
might look at job postings after July 1. Some areas of GIA are
not posting until after the release of JEQ(?).

| What would you expect from someone from Edmonton!
Seriously, I was dragooned from Vancouver to Edmonton (pre-DEC -
1 year 3 month 27 days etc. ago). So I am very jaundiced anywhere
east of the coast.
Seriously, Calgary is really not that bad, especially as I am not
a hockey fan. I would almost rather live there than here, but then
I would probably have less to complain about.

| 184.5 | I'm still interested. | MISING::MLAMM | | Mon Jun 12 1989 13:27 | 13 |
| Well, I was really looking for info on the job market and economy
in peticular for a friend. Buuuut I have always had an interest in that area
and have begun to look into it myself. I love to fish, ski, hike etc.
I've started reading about Calgary and have a ticket to visit. So I'm
slowly working at it.
Cal, thanks for the info on the job posting.
Anyother thoughts or contacts would be appreciated too.
Thanks,
Melaine

Today it's -22 (High) in Calgary, but it is supposed to warm up to -14 by
Sunday, so I am not quite sure what is supposed to happen on Tuesday.
