Massive decline in jobless numbers

he provincial government’s shelving of light rail from Chilliwack to Surrey in the longawaited Fraser Valley Transit Study (FVTS) is “biased,” “misleading,” and full of “flaws and errors,” according to the Rail for the Valley advocacy group. Proponents of the inter-urban rail line from Chilliwack to Surrey released an in-depth analysis of the FVTS on Monday. The FVTS was a long-awaited study by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to plan transit for the Fraser Valley for the next 25. The FVTS, which was released in December, found that commuter rail services from Chilliwack to Surrey would cost too EB IRST much to implement First reported on and operate and chilliwacktimes.com would not have the ridership needed. Instead, the province has proposed an express bus services between Chilliwack and Abbotsford. But John Buker, spokesperson for Rail for the Valley, said the FVTS puts projected boardings per day for daily interurban services between Chilliwack and Abbotsford at a maximum of 250 passengers. However, for equivalent express bus services 800 boardings is projected. “By digging a little under the surface, one discovers shockingly that the report is actually assuming a regional bus service would attract more than triple the number of passengers of an equivalent light rail service,” Buker said.

hilliwack’s jobless rate hit its lowest mark since before the global economic recession hit at the start of 2008. At 5.3 per cent, the local number of unemployed has been on a steady decline since the peak of 11.1 per cent seven months ago, according to Labour Force Survey numbers released on Friday. Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce president Jason Lum said the relevance of the jobless rate is hard to quantify, but there does seem to be some upbeat feelings in the local economy. “In general, we may have a little bit of cautious optimism and people may be starting to hire,” he told the Times. “With Ritchie Brothers, Stream ramping up hiring, those jobs are huge. Eagle Landing has contributed to a pretty big increase.” As far as the retail sector goes, Lum heard some anecdotally positive things from downtown Chilliwack retailers about the Christmas season. “I talked to some of the smaller retailers and they said it was pretty busy,” he said. The unemployment rate numbers illustrate that more people in Chilliwack are looking for work and finding See JOBLESS, Page 7

Chilliwack aerospace company is working for NASA and the United Nations to save the world. If that sentence simplifies things a little too much (and it probably does), it’s still essentially true. When Blair Edlund walked into a Yellowknife conference room this summer and ran into a guy who had installed imaging systems on space shuttles, he knew the project would be big. Edlund’s four-year-old company, EA Structures, occupies most of a large hangar at Chilliwack Airport. The company, which employs seven people including Edlund, specializes in repairing and modifying airplanes and has long worked with Summit Air Charters. It was that relationship that got Edlund into the meeting with members of the Carnegie Airborne Observatory and Michael Eastwood, a renowned NASA scientist in charge of its airborne visible/infrared imagining spectrometer (AVIRIS), which uses lasers to create three dimensional images of the earth and its atmosphere. (It’s a tad more complicated than that description.) The Carnegie Airborne Observatory wanted to use a Summit Air plane and NASA’s imaging technology to

Teaming up with NASA, just one of the many exciting projects Chilliwack’s EA Structures is working on assist a United Nations program called Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD). Carnegie’s contribution is to map the Amazon forest carbon stores in order to help limit climate change. “What makes this project unique is that . . . this new instrument that is going in this aircraft is the newest generation of high-tech spectrometers,” said Edlund. EA’s task was to retrofit the plane to suit the spectrometer and the scientists who would operate it. That meant installing port holes, outfitting the cabin, upgrading the power supplies and allowing the passengers to communicate with the pilots. And everything needed to be done now. While Edlund first heard about the project in the summer, the contract was only signed in “late-September/early-October.” With the plane expected in South America by January, that gave EA just weeks to overhaul the plane. Just after Christmas, with his turkey barely cold, Edlund was in the air above Chilliwack on the craft’s first test flights. All went to plan and the twin-prop has since departed for the Amazon rainforest, where it

is tracking the forest’s carbon stores in order to get a sense on how its survival or destruction will affect the Earth’s climate. This isn’t the only custom job EA has worked on. They recently developed what Edlund describes as a

“fancy garage door” to allow planes to drop supplies to scientists working in the Arctic. But for his growing business—and a growing part of Chilliwack’s aerospace industry—the Carnegie job is a major coup. “It’s just a very exciting project to be a part of. This instrument, it’s just mind-blowing what it’s capable of,” said Edlund. “When I started this business in ’06, my dreams as a kid were to work on this stuff. I never thought I’d be able to do that. “We’ve really kind of found our groove helping customers with special tools.” He points out that its not just EA and Chilliwack that’s benefitting from the project; the endeavour to map the rainforest is just one example of how jobs and economic benefits can come from trying to create a greener planet. “REDD is projected to do $30 billion worldwide—that’s huge for underdeveloped countries. It creates new infrastructure, it creates new jobs, it stops the clear-cutting of forests and putting up buildings. It’s a real cool program and this instrument is going to be ground-breaking for that program.”

ust minutes after meeting with local media on Friday, provincial Liberal leadership candidate Kevin Falcon Tweeted “It’s great to be in Chilliwack with MLA John Les meeting with community leaders & BCL members.” Social media is extremely important to Falcon as a way to connect with British Columbians and is part of what he calls the “new generation of leadership.” “The exciting thing for me about this leadership campaign is just how successful our social media platform has been in bringing new people to the party,” he said before meeting with attendees of a Lesorganized lunch at the Coast Hotel. “If I am successful, as premier I will continue to operate in utilizing all the tools of social media to ensure I am connecting to as many British Columbians as I can.” Falcon said he has found people to be “excited about our party” as he has criss-crossed the province on his campaign. He added that the NDP’s internal troubles have helped. “People look at the implosion of the NDP, the NDP’s systems on who can run and what gender they have to be, and I think most people say we don’t want to have anything to do with that kind of leadership.” As part of his message to Liberal partymembers,Falconemphasized his devotion to free enterprise as a means to achieving public goals.

Liberal leadership candidate Kevin Falcon (left) chats with Chilliwack MLA John Les at the Coast Hotel on Friday. “At the end of the day, everything we want to achieve in health care in education, in social services, will come to naught unless we have a thriving private sector economy and I will never lose sight of that as long as I’m the leader of the party and premier of the province.” Falcon is arguably the frontrunner in the campaign to select a new leader but he is also arguably the closest politically to Gordon Campbell. When asked if it was safe to put Falcon on the right wing of the party, Les wouldn’t bite. “Sometimes those labels of right and left really get overdone,” he said. “Pragmatic is the way I describe Kevin.” As for what he will do to be
different from Campbell—or if he even wants to—Falcon said the nature of B.C. politics means outgoing premiers all leave “greatly unpopular,” but he thinks Campbell’s legacy will be as a builder. “He probably got more built in this province, both in health facilities and education and transportation, than any other leader in the history of this province. I think the record will hold him in very good stead.” However, Falcon said he would differentiatehimselffromCampbell by working in collaboration with caucus rather than making centralized decisions out of the premier’s office. “I’ve got a different style,” he said.
he resolution to a seemingly senseless teen vandalism incident in Chilliwack will soon be a key teaching tool for RCMP detachments across the country. Last spring, several teens vandalized a Chilliwack area garden. The youths were caught but instead of heading to court, they were dealt with through the restorative justice program. The program allows the victims to sit down with the perpetrators of crimes, who both apologize and try to undo the damage caused by their actions. But last spring’s restorative justice sit-down featured something new: video cameras. Last Thursday, officials from Chilliwack’s public safety committee and city council joined with restorative justice participants and volunteers to watch a 38-minute DVD of the session and its results. That film will soon be distributed to RCMP detachments and restorative justice facilitators across the country. Sharon Blaker, one of the producers of the DVD and RCMP E Division restorative justice co-ordinator, says the film will be a key teaching tool. “We’re hoping this DVD will be an aid that will enable [communities] to do a good job with their volunteers and provide them with the tools they need to have a successful restorative justice process,” said Blaker, who frequently trains the program’s facilitators. The RCMP’s multimedia division, which operates out of the Pacific Region Training Centre in Chilliwack, scoured the province for a suitable case to film. But after several months, they found one with willing participants right here in town.

The case was ideal both because of the common nature of the crime committed—vandalism— and because it involved multiple offenders, each with different family dynamics at play. “We thought we would be travelling around the province to film but as it turned out, it happened right here in our backyard,” said Blaker, who lives in Chilliwack herself. The crews not only filmed the sessions between the offenders and victims, but they also checked up with the different parties several months later. All were happy with the outcome of the session. One of the offender’s families took in the Thursday viewing and were particularly pleased both with the DVD and the lasting effects of the restorative justice program. “The one family that was there, they basically said that this process was one of the best things that ever happened to them, as far as changing their relationship with each other,” said Blaker. The Mounties had been using an American training film, which will now be replaced by the Chilliwackproduced DVD. Kim McLandress, executive director of Chilliwack’s program, said she was very impressed with the quality of the video. “It really gives a true picture of what we do,” she said. “It’s a great thing for our supporters and volunteers as a training tool. “It’s a real heart-warming video,” she continued. “There are a lot of healed relationships, which is actually one of our main goals. Victims go from being truly angry to some understanding and some healing.” The restorative justice program got another piece of good news Thursday. Telus donated $20,000 to the program to allow it to hire a part-time facilitator for one year.

The Legal Services Society, the organization that provides legal aid to those who can’t otherwise afford it, has brought in a lawyer from Victoria to act as duty counsel until the boycott is over. Snowdon said the protest’s goal is to motivate the government to act on the issue. “We’d like to enlist the help of our colleagues across the province . . . to join us in this and effect some change,” she said. “I know the public doesn’t tend to feel very sorry for lawyers or those alleged to have committed crimes, but we all have an interest . . . in providing someone with an adequate defense.”

The group said the ministry’s calculation of $18.6 million per kilometre for track repairs is based on heavy rail, not light rail, which would be closer to $5 million per kilometre. “The ministry study is reactive ‘rubber tire’ planning that in fact promotes urban sprawl, while light rail encourages sustainable growth along the corridor and attracts new riders who choose to

uty counsel lawyers are withholding services at the Abbotsford and Chilliwack provincial courthouses in January to protest the provincial government’s cuts to legal aid funding. Abbotsford lawyer Ondine Snowdon—who often represents clients in Chilliwack court—said those in private practice who normally take legal aid referrals won’t be assisting people in custody, or arriving at the courthouse for their first appearance. Chronic underfunding to legal aid is endangering the justice system and people’s right to an adequate defence, said Snowdon. Defence lawyers are so poorly paid to do the work that many are no longer taking on cases, she said.
She and other lawyers have found they can be working for as little as $10 an hour. “It’s just become untenable,” she said, adding funding for legal aid has dropped by as much as 17 per cent over the last decade. “A lot of senior, qualified lawyers are refusing to take on legal aid referrals . . . there’s a huge attrition rate. We can’t sustain the level of service our clients deserve.” Salaries for Crown prosecutors and the judiciary have gone up in the last decade while legal aid lawyers’ compensation is in decline, said Snowdon. “The Crown, judiciary and defence . . . are a three-legged stool and if one is not funded [the system] falls over,” she said. “[Underfunding] is going to result in wrongful convictions, and mentally ill people and the very poor being under-

Be realistic. Resolving to lose too much weight or to save too much money means you may be giving yourself an impossible task. It’s much easier to set realistic resolutions, and it works better for your self esteem as well. Nothing can be more fatal than being too hard on yourself.

Dismal media coverage in 2010
W
ithout a doubt, the distinction for being the biggest loser in 2010 goes to the national media. Understandably struggling to fend off and compete with emerging information technology and social networking, the country’s major media was dismal and frequently irrelevant these last 12 months. With the rarest of exceptions, media was consumed with trivial items that failed to resonate in any way whatsoever 50 kilometres outside of Ottawa. Proroguing parliament is a routine activity that every Prime Minister regularly engages in. Never has this been a story worth mentioning, even when Jean Chretien did so only to avoid having to answer embarrassing questions following the release of the auditorgeneral’s report into the sponsorship scandal. But when Stephen Harper pulled the plug the reaction from the nation’s media was that doing so was a constitutional abomination and the end of democracy. It was the same thing with eliminating the long-form census. All in all, a rather mundane reform that perhaps warranted some discussion and informed debate. But again, the media response was to treat this minor matter akin to the country separating. Yes, some bureaucrats and academics have been deprived of one particular data source. That’s earth-shattering news that warranted two months of daily coverage? Media like to think they’re the eyes and ears of the public. OK,
JOHN MARTIN
Crime Matters what else consumed their every waking moment in 2010? Well, there’s the matter of whether or not an Afghan detainee might have been smacked upside the head with a size-nine sandal on his way to custody. Apparently it’s stuff like this that keeps Canadians up at night worrying about the state of their country. This one item received hundreds of times more ink than any coverage of a Canadian soldier killed in the line of duty. Absolutely disgraceful. Oh, and then there’s the matter of the application to the CRTC for another all-news TV station. Someone cheekily dubbed the requested service “Fox News North” and lo and behold, our very sovereignty was in peril. This particular application hardly warranted more attention than every other request from the last 10 years combined. But the biggest failing of the country’s big media was its roundthe-clock, never-ending obsession with the next federal election. “Will there be an election?” “There’ll be an election in spring—guaranteed.” “Election this fall—count on it.” Most of the country’s MPs get out of Ottawa on a regular basis and this keeps them in touch with real Canadians. For journalists on the national beat—it’s another
matter. It’s as though they actually believe all Canadians can think of is the next federal election—as if we haven’t had enough in the last several years. At least there’s some self-serving rationale to the federal election epic story. It’s never easier being a journalist than during a campaign. Every day there’s a controversy, a gaffe, an outrage, a policy to scrutinize, and perhaps a candidate stepping down. Columns literally write themselves once the writ has been dropped. Sure elections are expensive, but don’t kid yourself; media are ecstatic with minority governments being in electionready mode 365 days a year. Especially the lazy ones. And of course there’s all those political advertising dollars being thrown around during a campaign. Canadians’ futures are not going to be altered one iota from a prorogued parliament, a shorter census form or one more all-news TV service. And they’re not losing any sleep over the timing of the next federal election. Columnists and editorial writers are fond of trashing a government policy and concluding with, “we deserve better.” When it comes to media coverage of the issues that matter, we deserve a helluva lot better. ◗ John Martin is a criminologist at the University of the Fraser Valley.

here are still a few out there who continue to disregard the law, their own safety, and their responsibility to others. But for the most part, the year-old law aimed at curbing the dangerous actions of compulsive talkers and texters among us has taken hold. It was a year ago this week that it became time to put down the cellphones and Blackberrys while driving—at least for those who weren’t intelligent enough to have already done so. The province started 2010 with a ban on the use of all hand-held cellphones and portable devices used for games or texting while driving. Hands-free technology is still allowed— though rational voices immediately began calling for an extension to the ban, to include them. Studies have shown hands-free devices are actually just as dangerous as hand-held phones, because they pull our attention away from our driving And that is the real culprit in statistics that show using a cellphone while behind the wheel of a car puts you at equal risk of having an accident as driving while drunk. Speaking of which, the provincial government is to be applauded for two further measures it took in 2010 to help make roads a bit safer. Lowering the provincial impairment limit below the federal level—to .05 per cent blood-alcohol from .08 per cent—is an acknowledgment that the legal limit specified in the Criminal Code of Canada is not severe enough. You don’t have to be falling-down drunk to be a deadly hazard to fellow motorists. And for those who choose speed, instead of alcohol, as their weapon of choice, the province has made it more painful for drivers who get caught speeding by more than 40 km/h over the speed limit. All in all, that amounts to a pretty strong year in favour of road safety. Not every new law deserves hearty applause, but this suite of 2010 traffic laws are worth a hearty pat on the back.

Kids City needs bylaw to protect our trees Stay, Eat &
Editor: I live in a condominium in Chilliwack where the strata council has recently, for justifications that I will not go into, taken it upon themselves to remove approximately 20 trees that had been planted on the property. In order to avoid other properties from experiencing the same kind of intrusion and decimation, I believe it is now timely to press the City of Chilliwack to pass a bylaw stating that every tree left in the Fraser Valley and the City of Chilliwack has enormous value, aesthetically and air quality-wise. To this end, I would suggest that this bylaw state that a special permit with accompanying fee and inspection must be acquired before the removal of every single tree that a landowner within the city wishes to remove. A hefty fine could be the consequences of not complying with this bylaw. Our air quality and lifestyle are at stake. We have the privilege of living in one of the most beautiful areas of the world. It is time to disallow developers (and others) from clearing every living thing from a new building site or an existing property. Let us respect this environment, save what exists, and work together to plant many more trees that will grow large, and protective and grace this magnificent area. I would challenge the City of Chilliwack to lead the way on this issue. Lynn Douglas Chilliwack

Think beyond our borders Editor: It is a curious and perplexing complaint that Michael Hodge makes (Take care of our own first, Jan. 7 Times). Canada’s foreign aid (about $3 billion per year) is a miniscule percentage of total government spending, and represents just 0.2 per cent of Canada’s GDP, and yet Mr. Hodge asks us to “imagine if we gave ourselves the same financial support that we give all the other countries.” Yes, imagine if we spent the same amount supporting education in Africa that we spend educating people here in Canada. How wonderful a gift that $60 billion per year would be to the hundreds of millions it would help escape the bondage of crippling poverty. Mr. Hodge declares that we have “retired seniors living on a fixed income receiving no aid,” yet is not Canada Pension (which pays many retirees about $934
per month) an aid? Is not health care an aid? Consider how many more people we could help if we invested the same kind of dollars into African health care and welfare that gets invested into Canadian health care and welfare. We spend $183 billion on health care in Canada, which equals more than $5,300 per person. Please compare the hardships of Canada’s elderly with the destitute elderly of Africa where there are no government-sponsored pension plans and where per capita spending on health care is a mere $36 per year. Then tell us that we ought not to have compassion beyond our boarders. Mr. Hodge, when was the last time you heard of children in Canada spending over four hours a day fetching water from distant, polluted water holes, because if they don’t, they die? For a few thousand dollars we can dig a well that liberates an entire village from the horrors of water borne illnesses. What percentage of Canadians live in fear of malaria and TB? What percentage are
stricken with marasmus, or beriberi, or pellagra? We have publicly and privately funded soup kitchens and shelters in every major city, and countless programs that invest into people’s lives with the goal of alleviating poverty. An additional $3 billion spent in Africa could liberate millions from the worst kind of destitution. In Canada we spend much, much more than $3 billion battling poverty each year, yet you seem to think that all this spending has not done much. I am all for helping people in Canada, but I see no reason why we can’t also show a measure of compassion for the downtrodden of other nations. In 2005, Bono wrote that “Fifteen thousand Africans are dying each day of preventable, treatable diseases—AIDS, malaria, TB—for lack of drugs that we take for granted. This statistic alone makes a fool of the idea many of us hold on to very tightly: the idea of equality. What is happening to Africa mocks our pieties, doubts our concern and questions our commitment to the whole concept. Because if we’re honest, there’s no way we could conclude that such mass death day after day would ever be allowed to happen anywhere else. Certainly not North America or Europe, or Japan. An entire continent bursting into flames? Deep down, if we really accept that their lives—African lives—are equal to ours, we would all be doing more to put the fire out. It’s an uncomfortable truth.” Tell me, Mr. Hodge, why
does the life of an African, or Haitian, matter less than the life of a Canadian? Robert Bogunovic Chilliwack
No denying the reduction Editor: In spite of Chuck Strahl’s propaganda campaign, the fact remains that veterans' pensions are reduced when they need it most. When we joined no one told us when we reached 65 that our pensions would be reduced. Nor does he mention that the Supreme Court has just ruled in favour of thousands of wounded veterans who are suing the government for their benefits. Many injured, especially those with psychological problems, are first denied benefits and it takes months or years for them to get justice. John Elmore Chilliwack
Not ready for voting booth Editor: As with all of his articles, I lean heavily towards John Martin's view: teens are simply not ready to make a carefully considered decision in the voting booth. I have three terrific kids— now young adults— but in their teens I was working with them on their driving lessons, the curfew, the house rules and See LETTERS, Page 18

t was anything but easy, but the Chilliwack Bruins ended their four-game losing skid Sunday as they knocked off the visiting Seattle Thunderbirds 54 in overtime. Ryan Howse and Dylen McKinlay—who notched the OT winner—each scored twice and added an assist as the Bruins won for the first time in 2011. The game was but nine seconds old when Howse danced around a Thunderbird defender, brought the puck back to his forehand and flipped it past Seattle netminder Calvin Pickard. It was a start badly needed by the Bruins and their top gun, who had registered only six points over the past month. Burke Gallimore got the Thunderbirds back on level ground seven minutes later, but the Bruins again responded quickly. Kevin Sundher showed that Howse isn’t the only Bruin with lightning-quick hands as, less than 30 seconds after the Gallimore goal, he took a pass on a two-on-one and at high speed deked Pickard with an in-close imi-

Thunderbirds centre Charles Wells was handed a double-minor for high sticking. The Bruins couldn’t capitalize in regulation so head coach Marc Habscheid sent four forwards out to start overtime. Playing four-on-three, the aggressive approach paid off just 21 seconds into the OT session as Howse wristed a shot from the point that was deflected twice—first by Roman Horak, then by McKinlay—
Bruins stand pat at deadline The WHL trading deadline came and went Monday with Bruins general manager and coach Marc Habscheid standing pat. A couple big names were moved, but Bruins stars Roman Horak, Ryan Howse and Brandon Manning—for whom this year is likely their last in junior hockey—stayed put. Topping gets scouting rank Bruins defenceman Mitch Topping may hear his name called during the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Topping was ranked 140th out of all North American skaters in the NHL Central Scouting Bureau’s midseason rankings. Topping is the only ranked Bruin player.

Editor: The recent shooting tragedy in Arizona has highlighted to me what is a growing problem in Canada—the “trendy” approach of many people to criticize all politicians or government officials and to make sweeping statements such as, “they’re all the same” or “a bunch of crooks.” First of all, they are definately not “all the same.” For example, there are real, concrete differences between the NDP and the Conservative/Liberal corporatively controlled parties. The differerences are not just in ideology, but in practical, down-to-earth realities. For example, while the Conservatives and Liberals receive mammoth finacial donations from the corporate sector, the NDP receives 10 per cent or less from labour unions. While the NDP often has a greater

number of individual contributors, the amounts are tiny in comparison to the Conservative/Liberal contributions. Therefore, local NDP campaigns often have to conduct their affairs with much less money for advertising, flyer distribution, etc. In NDP campaigns, it is rare to see any paid volunteers. It is a fact that a half or more of the electorate either does not vote or may vote for someone like the Green candidate as a protest vote. Many voters at the door confuse federal with provincial campaigns and often do not know even the basics of party policies. The Arizona sherrif puts things in perspective when commenting on the shooting tragedy there. He referred to the tendency of people to blame everything on politicians. He referred to these people as very weak-minded. In Canada, the violence is not there, thank God. But, we still see many people who blab about the “corrupt politicians” when these complainers often do not know the simple facts of what they speak. In other words, they are full of “BS.” After 40 years in the political scene in Canada, I know that most politicians are honest, hard-working people who often devote their lives to public service. I may not always agree with

responsibilities—and occasionally one would ask me the name of the prime minister or premier. Were they ready to vote? I very much doubt it. Most teens are wrestling with their own identity and their true purpose in life; therefore I do not believe they are ready to vote responsibly at the polls. Furthermore, there's no doubt more than a few teens would make a very poor decision and vote for the marijuana party as sadly some confused "adults" do. I say let our children learn responsibility bit by bit and don't push them into having to make adult decisionssuch as voting at 16. That responsibility will come soon enough.

FRIESEN, Margaret Margaret Friesen (nee Dickson) passed away on January 4, 2011 at Chilliwack General Hospital at the age of 67 surrounded by her family. Marg was born in London England on July 19, 1943, and moved to Canada with her family in 1946. Marg married the love of her life, David Friesen, in 1964 and they had three sons together. Marg enjoyed a longtime career in banking with Scotiabank and TD Canada Trust and had a great rapport with her many regular customers who came to know and love her. Marg enjoyed spending time with her grandson, reading, and feeding and watching the birds in the backyard. Marg is survived by her loving husband David, children Russ (Megan), Rob (Tara) and Jeff, and grandson Joshua. She is also sadly missed by her sister Patricia Gillis (Keith). Marg was predeceased by her parents Norval and Phyllis Dickson. The family would like to acknowledge and thank the nurses at Chilliwack General Hospital for their kindness and compassion, making Marg’s last few days peaceful. A private funeral service for the family will be held at Henderson’s Funeral Home. A celebration of Marg’s life will be held on Saturday, January 15, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. at the Atchelitz Hall, 6542 Lickman Road, Chilliwack.

A20 TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2011 CHILLIWACK TIMES
WORKING & TRAINING How many people stand between you and your dream job? There are approximately five people standing between creative professionals and the job they want, a survey suggests. Six degrees of separation isn’t just a game to find connections to the actor Kevin Bacon; advertising and marketing executives say they meet with an average of six applicants before filling an open position in their departments, according to a survey by The Creative Group, a staffing firm that specializes in creative, advertising, marketing and web professionals. Approximately 250 marketing and advertising executives were polled for the study.
While the field is expected to increase its hiring in the next three months, it doesn’t mean companies will relax their standards, says Lara Dodo, a vice- president with The Creative Group’s Canadian operations. “Given the high calibre of talent currently available, employers are being prudent in their hiring and are weighing their options before extending an offer.” Creative Group offers so me tips for jobseekers hoping to stand out among the crowd: * Do your due diligence - Know more than you have to about the job and company in order to define what specifically you can

offer. Consult various sources, go through articles about the company, ask people in your network for insight. * Put your best foot forward - Be polite from the moment you step through the company’s doors. “Resist the urge to text a friend or send a tweet while you wait in the lobby; you’ll make a better impression by sitting patiently and reading.” * Watch your body language - Do you touch your nose a lot when you’re nervous? Do you make and hold eye contact? Do you sit up or slouch? Practice interviewing with a friend who can give feedback about any distracting habits you might have.
* Be positive and follow through - If you don’t get the job, ask the interviewer for tips about how you could have done better. “If you accept rejection graciously, you may even put yourself first in line for the company’s next opening.”

* Ask good questions - And not just about money and vacation benefits. People respond to you when you give them something to talk to you about, says Brian Marchant, director of the business career centre at Queen’s University School of Business. So ask detailed questions about the job, or how the team you’d be joining works together. “Doing so reinforces your interest in the position and company while providing you with useful information that can help you determine if the job is a good fit,” says Creative Group. * Be yourself - The hiring manager needs to know whether the person sitting in front of him or her is a good fit. Don’t be someone in the interview that you can’t pull off every day.

* Tell good stories - Polish up a few good go-to anecdotes about yourself and how you solved business problems (but try not to sound rehearsed). The stories should describe the problems faced, talk about the actions you took and wrap up with the final results.

You have seven minutes to make an impression Ever wonder how much face time your resume gets before a) it’s thrown in the trash or b) your name gets placed on a list for an interview? Executives spend upwards of seven minutes per resume, on average, according to a survey by temp agency OfficeTeam. That sounds like more time when you remember that the average resume is two pages at most. The survey, conducted by an independent research firm, asked executives this question: “Approximately how much time, in minutes, do you spend screening each resume when reviewing job applicants for an advertised position?” The average response from the 100 executives included in the results was 7.25 minutes. “Executives are paying extra attention to application materials to avoid costly hiring mistakes -something no company can afford,” said Robert Hosking, executive director of OfficeTeam. “To improve their chances of passing the initial screening process, job seekers should craft resumes that are accurate, clear and error-free.” OfficeTeam has some tips for catching a hiring manager’s attention and keeping it for those allimportant seven minutes: - Be specific and concise about your achievements and highlight them up front. - Don’t send out generic resumes. Tailor the content to each individual job and company. As much as possible, repeat the words used in the job description -- many companies use software that scans for keywords. - Ask someone else to review your resume and summarize its key points. If they can’t pick out the most important information in two minutes or less, some editing is required. And make sure it is sent out without spelling and grammatical errors. - Simplicity is key. Avoid graphics, complicated language or stylish fonts, all of which can be distracting and make your resume difficult to read.

Fun By The Numbers
Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
