CKUA is one of Canada's oldest, coolest and best independent radio stations. And they're currently looking for a librarian. If you're into music of all kinds and/or interested in media librarianship, I can't think of a better job in all of Canada.

Hmm.
Interesting.
It's about a grillion miles away from where I want to find work…but….who knows? Maybe I'll apply.
I think I will apply.
I think I would be very good at that job.
I think you would be awesome at that job too! Not sure if you've visited Edmonton or not but I think you'd love the city as well – great arts scene, great music scene – not even close to the stereotype of “Alberta” that's out there.
aw, thanks Jason! I kind of thought the post was going to end with “I can't think of a better job in Canada if you're into music(or whatever you said), and I'm going to apply!!” because I think you'd probably be pretty awesome at it, too. I guess you're not up for moving provinces right now, though…
no, I've never been to Edmonton. far away from the Alberta stereotype is good…and something to keep in mind. It's a little far from my search radius, but my search radius is pretty much devoid of library work right now, so even just the application process is probably a good one to go through.
Well, I think I will definitely throw my name into the ring. What is there to lose, right?
Yeah, I sometimes have a (small) bit of regret that our current spot in this game we call life means I'm limited to Regina and area for jobs, especially when I see some of the cool ones that are out there.
Actually, the vast majority of Alberta is pretty far from the stereotype in my experience – especially since there are so many people there from “away” to begin with. I think people get there then feel they have to play up the stereotype, almost as an inside-joke. The rest of the world thinks we're rednecks so let's give 'em what they want.
Anyhow, I hope you get it. I'm on a mission to recruit all the coolest librarians to Saskatchewan and, failing that, elsewhere in Western Canada.
