So after a bit of searching I happened to stumble upon a website for this great looking company with offices throughout Alberta and BC. And the offices in BC are in the Okanagan area which is absolutely beautiful, and I actually do have family there (my mom's brother). And they are looking for people who do exactly what I do. They also hire people straight out of school and the website seems super friendly and basically they're saying they want people who want to go and learn new things and expand their knowledge and skills, not something like "We need you to already know all of this so you can start work right away" which is how I felt with the company I interviewed with.
Anyways, I'm not going to jump the gun on this one and send out a resume just yet
Right now they have openings in a few offices for drafters, and hopefully they will later on in the year too. Even if I don't get the office I want, I could always start and gain experience somewhere and then transfer later!
Oh yeah and this company even has a list of publications in which they've been named best employer (Top 100 Canadian employer for a few years straight, top 30 in BC) and a lot of the website is how great they treat their employees and yadda yadda yadda
Anyways, I don't get the bad gut feeling from this place. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it!
