T hree for the money Hot job markets to watch in Manitoba this month 1 Home and Garden Sure, there's snow everywhere


and winter si in full swing, but home and garden centres are already look- ing at hiring for spring, which si their biggest and busiest season. You can also consider applying for fertilizing and lawn mowing jobs. Because


under all that white stuff is a garden waiting to be planted.


Brace yourselves: spring is coming. www.smartbizwpg.com 2 Health Care


One thing that will never decrease in demand is healthcare, especially with


the baby boomers reaching retirement age. There are many places actively


looking for doctors, nurses, pharmacists, home health aids, electronic records


specialists, technicians and more, all of which come wth a variety of education and experience requirements.


3 Tax Preparation


The dreaded 'T' word (Taxes) is a source fo dread for many, but can be


a source of employment for you. Many of the tax preparation companies out there hire staff at this time in order


to be ready for when tax season hits full swing and it's all hands on deck


to make sure everybody's returns get filed. Temp jobs can easily become full-time with good work.
