Finding and Landing Your Dream Job

Career choices at Rocky View are as vast as the County itself. With options ranging from permanent full-time positions to part-time employment, apprenticeships, temporary employment, and a variety of volunteer opportunities, there are many entry points into the organization.

We’re consistently seeking skilled and passionate people, but it’s not always easy to find them in a crowd. Our Human Resources team offers some gems of wisdom on being the first to learn about new opportunities, making a great first impression, and landing the job of your dreams.

• Tap into the County’s media streams
  Making rockyview.jobs a regular stop on your career search is an obvious way to browse new career opportunities, but opting into our Career Alerts feature will ensure that any new opportunities are sent directly to your inbox. You’ll also find job postings, volunteer opportunities, or career fair notices in Rocky View Weekly or The Vantage Point; two publications available at any public library across the County, or at the Rocky View Administration Building.

• Start small and work your way up
  Many of our permanent employees began their careers at Rocky View as contractors, volunteers, apprentices, or seasonal workers. More often than not, the County will provide opportunities for advancement to employees who have already proven their competence and work ethic.

• Make a compelling argument for yourself
  Hundreds of resumes can be sent in for a single job posting, and we read every one. A well-crafted cover letter and resume will separate you from the crowd and may just land you an interview. Leave us with a positive impression, a good sense of your skill and experience, and a reason to call you back. A follow-up thank-you e-mail is a classy touch that will further embed your name and face into the recruiter’s mind.
