TEMP NEWSLETTER - Nov 2025
Dear Temps,
As the winter weather slowly arrives across the country it’s time to look ahead to figure out your plans for December. As you may know, many permanent employees take annual leave for their winter vacations starting typically in mid-December. Managers across the country are now putting together their December work schedules. This is a good opportunity for Temps to get backfill shifts - to get the kind of work experience that helps you get closer to your career objectives. If you are available to work throughout December, reach out to the List of Leaders who Hire to let them know you are available and what type of work you are interested in doing.
I would also like to remind you to check out the Temp Jobs page to consider applying for three terrific developmental opportunities in Yellowknife. Go forth and apply - deadline is November 18th.
Warm regards,Sujata_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
