There seems to be a lot goin on in Winnipeg, I know ther is lots happing in Brandon. if you are apprentice or journeyman , check out monster or  job listings with gov. service web.  Show up to a site, ask who's in charge, see if need someone.

   hey bud, yeah i thought that there was a lot happening here as well but it seems like it is harder to get a job in the trades if they only know you by your resume.  I have gotten work through the JOBBANK but they always turn out to be hsit...the last job i had from there the contractor who posted it had about 5 charges pending in the provincial court just for generalized ripping off of his clients....the last paycheque he gave me was post-dated for two weeks..that seemed awfully close to getting ripped off...but again proving that the best jobs are always word of mouth.  I have a regular contractor i normally work with but i am always interested in making more money...thought a home-owner might see my ad.  What do you do in Brandon?
