There I was, knee-deep in sludge, the sun beating down, flies swarming and sweat dripping off my forehead.
The stench was unpleasant, as was the muddy swamp water that slowly penetrated my supposedly waterproof coveralls.
What was I doing in [...]

Last week, I was the race director for a triathlon in the Northern Ontario town of Marathon. Essentially, I helped co-ordinate the logistics of the event and made sure everything ran smoothly. The week before, I was in [...]
A television show called “Careers TV” out of Edmonton, Alberta followed me around for about a month to film a segment for their show. They even came to Vancouver to interview my family. When they were finished, I thought to myself – I have no idea how they are going to be able to put [...]
I had an interview with Global Morning News in Montreal last Friday, and when we had finished the interview the reporter asked if I wanted to work with them for the next five minutes and do the weather. So, directly from the interview, I proceeded to walk through the studio to the green screen [...]
It has been an interesting experience so far writing for the Globe, a little bit challenging but I am thankful for the experience nonetheless.
Here is my most recent column that was in the “Careers” section yesteday (Wednesday):
As mom might have said: Honesty’s the best policy

MONTREAL — Another Monday morning, another new city, [...]
Here is a segment that was aired last night on Global National. They did a really great job with it!
It has been a pretty busy week and I have not yet had the time to write about how my week finished up with Venatus Conseil Ltd. Talent Brokers. I am hoping to do that tomorrow, [...]
A look at my workplace this week at Venatus Conseil Ltd. Talent Brokers with my first interview in French. They were kind by leaving in the parts where my French actually kind of makes some sense.
Here is an interview with MTV Canada that I did from Trois Pistoles, Quebec a couple weeks back. If you have seen one, you have seen them all, though if you haven’t seen one yet, check out the CTV News one. Although, this one is kind of different because the interview was done via a [...]
As of tomorrow, I will officially be able to call myself a columnist for the Globe and Mail.
I will writing a column for the Globe and Mail in the Careers section every second Wednesday about my experiences with One Week Job and what I am learning throughout the journey.
I am excited about the opportunity as [...]
I guess I have been making enough news with One Week Job that Macleans Magazine felt I should be labelled as one of their newsmakers of the week which I thought was pretty cool. The article was published in this past weekends edition.
My best friends wedding on Saturday went well despite the weather [...]
A television crew from ShawTV followed me around on Week Four and I just got it in the mail today. Feels like such a long time ago now because I have done so many other jobs since. Next week I will be working downtown and will be wearing a suit and tie to work… [...]
I had an interview with CBC Radio in Vancouver, BC yesterday which turned out to be quite hilarious. I guess it had been a while since I was back in Vancouver having to drive into the downtown area and so underestimated the time it would take. I was running just over 5 minutes late [...]
I am down in Calgary for the long weekend visiting a friend of mine I met in Quebec a few summers back. It is nice to spend some time ‘relaxing’ after having such a busy week up in Edmonton.
I will be back in Edmonton for Week Seven, then I think I will be heading to [...]
