Jan. 4 Publishing companies: I’m looking for publishing companies in Edmonton to work at, but I see a lot are to be a customer service representative. The jobs are about selling ad space and subscriptions. I’m looking for a job in a publishing company where I can write and edit.
I also get a lot of printing companies as in they print calendars and brochures. I remember going to job interviews to those because they are office jobs. I looked up “Publishing companies in Edmonton” and it lead to “publishing” in the search engine in Indeed.
Regional Maple Leaf Communications: I found this on Indeed. I remember seeing this on Kijiji. The position is a full-time account executive and it’s really a telemarketer because it says “selling over the phone.”
The Gateway: There’s a job for “circulation pal” which is delivering the University of Alberta newspaper.
Alberta Business Research:
“Alberta Business Research Ltd. (ABR), a local publishing company established since 1990, has an opening for a dynamic and creative Advertising Sales Consultant to join our sales team.”
TNC Publishing Group: This is in Calgary.

Book Publishers Association of Alberta: I wasn’t sure if I wrote about this before, but I did back in Dec. 2013:
Major Programs
Alberta Book Publishing Awards
Each spring, the book publishing community in Alberta comes together to honour excellence in Alberta-published books. Our hope is that this recognition will make readers more aware of the high quality and range of book publishing in the province, and that this awareness will be a source of shared pride. The gala is held in May annually, alternating between Calgary and Edmonton.
Awards are presented in twelve categories: Book of the Year (Children’s, Educational, Scholarly, Trade Fiction, Trade Non-Fiction); Book Design (Book Cover, Book Illustration, Book Design); Publisher of the Year, Emerging Publisher of the Year, Lois Hole Award for Editorial Excellence, and the Alberta Book Publishing Achievement Award.

Jan. 5 Lakeshore Publishing: The positions are for Advertising Sales Executives. I would have to take 2 buses to get there.
Culture Works: I did bookmark this website. I looked for creative jobs in AB, but there aren’t any. There are lots of creative jobs across Canada:
Pearson Canada: They make textbooks. I looked up their job postings and most of them need a degree.
Jan. 6 Grade Aid Learning: You can work as a sales consultant for this company. It sells this software program called Math and English Wiz to help elementary school kids.
Edmonton Job Shop: From Sept. –Dec. 2014, I didn’t look for a job because I was busy with school. In the middle of December, I got sick and missed 2 days of work. I wasn’t feeling well so I didn’t look for a job even though school ended.
Now it’s Jan. 2015 and I’m looking for a job. I used to go to Job Bank and Kijiji all the time. I still go to Job Bank. I’m staying away from Kijiji for awhile and going to all these other job sites that I bookmarked, but I don’t often go to.
Edmonton Job Shop was a site I went to way back in 2010. The website wasn’t really good because it was colorful and the layout seems kind of disorganized. Now I visit it and it’s professional looking with the white and blue.
Jan. 7 Bioware Edmonton: Have you ever heard of this company before? I learned about this company way back in 2009 and told one of my Professional Writing friends about it because he’s interested in video games. He knows about it. I’m expanding my job search from Job Bank and Kijiji and decided to look up “publishing” and it lead to this company.
It creates videogames. The jobs there needs you to know specific computer programs.
Job Hits.ca: I was going through all my bookmarks on my computer. I didn’t notice how much I had. I was looking for more job sites I bookmarked. I found this for an Edmonton job. I clicked on it and it didn’t work. I looked it up on the internet.
It lead to Twitter and it’s UK version:
“JobHits is a job search engine with most updated and relevant vacancies from major job sites. Find for your dream jobs from more than 200,000 opportunities now.”
Here’s the US version:
“JobHits.net is a US job search engine with most updated and relevant vacancies from major job sites. Find for your dream jobs from more than 300,000 jobs now.”
Here’s the Facebook page:
It mentions the Canadian page: The website doesn’t work.
