Road Trippin’ to Edmonton

This week was my very first on the road with the SAIT Recruitment Team. Michelle and I headed to Edmonton early Monday morning for a busy and exciting week. I was grateful to have the terrific company for the journey. I was even more grateful for Michelle’s keen sense of direction and ability to manoeuvre Edmonton’s terrifying traffic circles.

Our Edmonton tour included a total of ten high schools. We enjoyed speaking to many students interested in our programs. However, we spent most of our time informing students that we were, in fact, different than NAIT.

As recruiters, we also double as tourists in the cities we visit. Michelle introduced me to some of her favourite restaurants and shops. We even had the opportunity to visit the West Edmonton Mall. There were a couple birthdays on the road. A fellow recruiter and I had birthdays that fell on Thursday and Friday. One evening we celebrated the dual birthdays with several new friends we’d made on the road.

As Michelle and I headed home on Friday I received my first birthday gift. Unaware of the speed limit, I was handed a shiny new speeding ticket. It was a good lesson to learn as I begin my recruitment career.

But I must get going. I’m off to North Battleford, Saskatchewan in a few hours.

Have a great week,

Jason
