Calgary’s new Italian Centre Shop is hosting a massive hiring fair this weekend

If you’ve been thinking about a job change or you’re on the hunt for a summer position, this might be your sign. The Italian Centre Shop at Northland Village in Calgary is hosting a massive hiring fair this weekend.

The event is aimed at filling more than 70 full-time and part-time positions across several departments, with walk-in interviews and potential same-day job offers for some candidates.

About the hiring fair

The hiring fair will take place on Saturday, May 9, at the new Italian Centre in Northland Village Shopping Centre, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. At the event, you will have the chance to meet hiring managers in person and explore a range of open positions across the store.

Available roles at the hiring fair include positions across multiple departments, such as:

  • Bakery clerk
  • Bakery assistant
  • Pastry baker
  • Bakery supervisor
  • Café clerk
  • Deli clerk
  • Cashier
  • Produce clerk
  • Grocery team member
  • Pizza cook
  • Café and espresso bar staff
  • Supervisor roles

With so many roles available across the store, there’s just about something for everyone. So show up with a resume in hand, dress in business casual, and approach the event with confidence.

About the Italian Centre

According to the Italian Centre Shop, the family-owned Alberta business is known for offering European food products and creating an environment centred around food, culture, and community.

The company operates locations in Calgary and Edmonton. It focuses on offering customers a wide selection of imported goods while maintaining a strong in-store experience across its bakery, café, deli, and grocery departments.

Alongside its retail operations, the company is committed to helping employees build experience as they go. It’s a hands-on environment where training is part of the job, and staff often get the chance to learn skills across different departments, rather than staying in one role.

Overall, this fair is a great opportunity if you’re starting and looking to gain experience in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment. There are plenty of opportunities to learn on the job, pick up new skills, and get a feel for different areas of retail and food service.

So get out there, show up with confidence, and see what happens.

Good luck, Calgary!
