WATCH ABOVE: With so many layoffs in Alberta recently many Albertans are fighting for the same positions. In the first part on our Surviving the Slump series Mia Sosiak looks at how serious the issue is in the province and where government and police forces are falling behind – Mar 9, 2016

Two Calgarians who have recently lost their jobs have agreed to allow Global News to follow them as they attempt to find new careers in a very difficult market.

Every Wednesday Global News provides tips, opportunities and stories that can be helpful to people who are dealing with the downturn in the economy across the province of Alberta.

The weekly series “Surviving the Slump” launched in February and aims to find positivity during these difficult times.

Mike Lakusta is a young engineer who had just started his career when he got laid off last fall from an oil and gas startup.

Jo Moss is an internal communications specialist who found herself without a job after her contract with a pipeline company ended in December.

We have paired both Mike and Jo up with a career expert to help them get hired, and we will be following their journey for the next several months as they aim to get back on their feet.
