You might have to broaden your search to other cities and provinces BC is booming right now from Williams lake North not sure if your interested in relocating but it is an option. Alberta is slowly grinding to a halt for a lot of reasons while northern BC is picking up the pace.

Try the different power companies: BC Hydro, Ontario Hydro, Quebec Hydro, etc. Energy policy is big, but getting a job isn't easy. Don't apply for jobs you are overqualified for. This is a fairly narrow field, it takes time to get a job, but they exist.

What about NGOs, various think-tanks? You may want to volunteer somewhere to get contacts too. You'll find something, but be open minded.

I know that feeling. I left a job in March and have struggled to find something permanent and long term. Ive done a lot of little contracts this year and its tiring. Im ready to go back to work full time but Im hitting the same wall. Im overqualified or over educated.

Oil & Gas has been consolidating lately and not for the purposes of expansion. Its like people are hunkering down, again. It does seem though that lately, in the last couple of weeks, things have started moving again; positions posted, hiring freezes lifted, etc.
