When the weather outside is frightful, homeowners and renters can turn their interior spaces into something delightful. Residents can banish feelings of cabin fever by using time spent inside to make subtle or even substantial improvements to their living areas.

Individuals may find that winter is a great time to tackle delayed or unfinished projects or to put plans for major renovations in motion.

Homeowners may find that they have some extra time on their hands when weather and early evening darkness reduces how much time they can spend outdoors.

One of the easiest ways to transform the look of a room is with a fresh coat of paint. Painting a room or rooms is an inexpensive project that can be completed over the course of a single weekend. Painting in lighter colors can help illuminate dark spaces and make a home feel more vivid and inviting, especially during the winter. And painting need not be reserved for walls only. Homeowners may want to sand and paint furniture to give items a trendy arts-and-crafts feel.

Address drafts and other inefficiencies. Colder temperatures alert homeowners to drafts, leaks and even insect or rodent infiltration.

Homeowners can scout out rooms and remedy situations.

Organize the home. Rainy or snowy days are great moments to address organizational issues, such as messy mudrooms or cluttered kitchens. Get a jump-start on spring cleaning before the warm weather arrives.

CREATING A CHEF-INSPIRED KITCHEN (NAPSI) — Cooking like a professional doesn’t have to mean a kitchen full of expensive gadgets, but you do want one where prepping, cooking and cleaning is seamless and comfortable.

That requires considering design details that enhance the workflow.

Consider these helpful hints:

OTHER

Smart Storage Items that are used frequently should be kept together and conveniently at hand. Use hooks, magnets and utensil holders to keep favorite knives, pot lids, spatulas and the like within easy reach. A lazy Susan can help spices stay properly sorted.

Bright Ideas For Lighting Choose lighting that maximizes cooking efficiency and comfort. Task lighting should include overhead stove lights and under-cabinet fixtures so cooking and food prep area are properly lit. For dining, overhead chandeliers may be best.

Everything — Especially The Kitchen Sink While shiny appliances, countertops and beautiful backsplashes may get all the attention, the sink and its surrounding area are the most used in the kitchen and deserve special consideration.

Position the sink with as much prep space around it as possible. For the sink itself, look for efficiency and functionality. For example, the new BLANCO IKON Apron 33” 1 3/4 sink is designed with a convenient low divide that makes it easier to handle large pots and baking sheets. Another advantage of its apron front design is that it’s installed further forward with no countertop. This means less strain on cooks and dishwashers because they don’t have to lean over as much. What’s more, it’s made with nonporous, easy-to-clean Silgranit composite patented material and comes in eight trending colors.

Optional accessories help enhance the workflow and include a floating grid that provides an extra level within the sink, to further ease the strain of handling heavy pots. A floating cutting board fits right on top of the sink to instantly create more workspace.

Faucets To Favor Faucets designed with a higher arc and a pulldown spray head make rinsing dishes, filling pots and cleaning the sink faster and simpler. The new BLANCO RIVANA collection includes semi-pro, high arc with pulldown and bar faucet options. A coordinating soap dispenser is also available. The convenient Solenta Senso works hands-free. “Handy” when your hands are full—or very dirty.

Honeoye Falls-Lima Mendon Kiwanis Offers Kentucky Families a Helping Hand

BY AMANDA DUDEK

I

n a time when new virus strains and new vaccines are a constant focus, it is sometimes easy to unintentionally overlook the many benevolent organizations which have been serving our communities for a long time. One such organization, Kiwanis, has been meeting the needs of others for over 100 years. Founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1915, Kiwanis now boasts more than 550,000 members in 80 countries and geographic areas worldwide and hosts nearly 150,000 service projects each year. One of its local chapters, the Honeoye Falls-Lima/Mendon Kiwanis Club, recently took part in a statewide initiative to help Kentucky families impacted by devastating tornados.

The Honeoye Falls-Lima/Mendon Kiwanis Club (HFLM Kiwanis), a recent addition to the Kiwanis Club family, is no stranger to crisis, having been chartered in August of 2020. True to Kiwanis’ mission to “serve the children of the world,” HFLM Kiwanis teamed up with other local Kiwanis Clubs over the holidays to support a local boy with Spina Bifida by giving him a special bike adjusted to his disabilities so that he could continue to enjoy the pastime he loves. “Our motto is ‘Changing the world one child and one community at a time,’” explained Vice President Pastor Christine Mitchell, whose mother, Peg Bobzin, is the chapter’s current president. “That is what we focus on: children. It is what makes us different from other organizations.”

Mitchell explained that Kiwanis maintains service leadership programs for children from elementary school through college and beyond: K-Kids for elementary students, Builders Club for middle and junior high school students, Key Club for high school students, Circle K for college students, and Aktion Club for adults with disabilities. “We are trying to teach children and others how to give back to their communities,” said Mitchell. “We participate in projects such as raising money for the Golisano Children’s Hospital, and we continue to help our communities, as well.”

When HFLM Kiwanis was asked to join in collecting necessary items for families impacted by Kentucky tornadoes, there was only one possible answer.

“We received a call from the governor of The New York District of Kiwanis International Clubs,” Mitchell Kiwanis Finger Lakes Division Lt. Governor recalled. “All of the Deborah Rought (l) and NY District Lyme Kiwanis districts in Disease Brittany Award Recipient Pastor New York were called upon to help Christine Mitchell (r), Vice President of in Honeoye Falls-Lima, Mendon Kiwanis Club. families Kentucky.

We noticed that other clubs had teamed up with Canandaigua National Bank.

We reached out, and our local branch said, ‘Absolutely!”

HFLM Kiwanis, a member of Kiwanis’ Finger Lakes division, put up boxes around town for its collection. “In about a week, we filled the entire back of my pickup truck!” shared Mitchell. “We also purchased ten $25 gift cards to Walmart so that people can get other things they need. We collected many items, including food, toiletries, a lot of diapers, and other things we thought these families could use. The district is taking all collected items down to Kentucky next week.”

Honeoye Falls-Lima, Mendon Kiwanis Club participates in the Kentucky Tornado Relief Collection!

President Peg Bobzin (l) & Rev Virginia Tyler-Smith (r) As one HFLM Kiwanis Facebook post stated, Mitchell and HFLM Kiwanis is extraordinarily grateful to all who supported and contributed to the Kiwanis Kentucky Tornado Relief Collection. “Our club joined in with many others across The New York District of Kiwanis International Clubs,” the post stated. “A special thank you to Canandaigua National Bank & Trust, Howard Hanna Real Estate Services Mendon-Honeoye Falls Office, St. John’s Episcopal Church of Honeoye Falls, the United Methodist Church of Honeoye Falls, and the First Presbyterian Church of Honeoye Falls. We cannot thank the community enough for their help in this project!”

“Opportunities like this help teach kids about leadership, become leaders in their communities, and learn about giving back at a young age,” Mitchell said. “Hopefully, through Kiwanis Club, it will become second nature to them. We believe this is possible by working with people of all ages, talents and backgrounds through volunteer service projects and fundraising opportunities.”

While Kiwanis kids learn the value of service, they are also learning how to plan and build their own successes. “We want to give these children the opportunities to achieve their dreams and succeed in life,” explained Mitchell. “What better way than to part with them, come alongside them, and help them see the benefits of giving back to their community? We hope to instill leadership qualities in them and give them confidence, building them up to the point where they can achieve any dream they would like. As many Kiwanians have before them, we believe they will grow into amazing leaders.”

HOW TO KEEP DOGS SAFE AND CONTENT Begin with training. One of the best things a pet owner can do for the wellbeing of a his or her dog is to ensure that it receives proper training from a young age. According to VetWest Animal Hospital experts, statistics show that owners who have pets that behave get more satisfaction and have stronger bonds with their pets. A dog that responds to basic commands can stay out of danger, and knowing what he is supposed to do can help the dog feel less stressed.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I had an abdominal X-ray to check on my gallstones, and was surprised to find an enlarged spleen. I was told it might be leukemia or lymphoma! I was sent to an oncologist, who reassured me that I did not have cancer and recommended I get checked again in six months.

My doctor checked it after three, and my spleen had gone back down!

What is all this with the spleen? People have it removed after injuries, like accidents. It seems to be insignificant, but can it be an omen for cancer?

-- M.K. ANSWER: The spleen is an underappreciated abdominal organ. Its major job is to filter and remove old or damaged red blood cells, but it also removes bacteria. In addition, the spleen acts as a very large lymph node, allowing infection-fighting white blood cells to gather and activate. Removal of the spleen leaves people at a higher risk of some kinds of bacterial infections.

Enlargement of the spleen has many potential causes. Both liver and heart disease can cause passive congestion of the spleen with blood.

Cancer, especially lymphoma, is a common cause, but infection is one cause to consider in a person in whom the spleen enlarges and then returns to normal. There are many less-common causes as well.

If the spleen is removed or is nonfunctional (this is almost universal in adults with sickle cell disease, for example), then infections are common, and vaccinations have a different and more intensive schedule, ideally given when the spleen is still in place and working.

It is probably worth it for your doctor to continue to keep an eye on.

S T N RA S E V RA Thank you, emergency responders!

Hidden Meadows in Bergen, NY, is a quiet retirement community. Most of the residents are retired, so the pace of life is gentle, and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. This peace was shattered on Thursday, 12/30/21 just before 8:00 p.m. when a house exploded into flames.

Neighbors, with the help of firemen, forced the door open, pulled the owner of the home out, and put her on oxygen. Almost certainly, they saved her life. The residents of Hidden Meadows Senior Community want to say, “Thank you!” to the Firefighters, EMTs and other related Emergency Response personnel. We are proud of your work and grateful for your service. May God bless you and watch over you!

Wonderful neighbors!

I am very blessed to live next door to the Hensler family.

Words cannot adequately express how much their acts of kindness mean to me. Thank you. - JMH Rescued I have to thank a special person who took the time to help my runaway pup. This was in the afternoon on 1/10/22.

My pup had got out of her collar and ran to a busy complex road. By the time I got back to the road, this person had my pup in her vehicle and then handed her to me.

My thanks also to those who took the time to stop their vehicles and were patient. My pup survived the ordeal without harm. She means the world to me. I can’t express my gratitude enough for the helpfulness. God Bless!

No Jingle Bells?

It seems like every day an old tradition or piece of history gets trashed or destroyed in our country by some so-called, well-meaning group. [Local school] recently banned playing or singing Jingle Bells. What's next, telling the students there's no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny?

I think they should have to specify their reasons to the taxpayers of their school district.

Side street speeding I live on the east side of [local town], and I can't believe how many people fly down my street. A lot of the streets don't have sidewalks, so I keep my dog on the grass, but sometimes I'm scared for myself because when there's a car coming from each direction, neither one will slow down. These are residential areas, not the expressway.

Reasonable tree prices To the person complaining about Christmas tree prices: it is the one time of year that those families make the bulk of their income (especially local). It costs money, time, and energy to grow those trees and keep them healthy for you and your families to enjoy. If your tree cost you $54, that means it cost $4.50 a month. Then you have to count all those years they kept that tree. It really isn’t that expensive. They are farmers! They have to raise prices just as everyone else in the economy has. They need to make a living, too. Honestly, if you’re not happy about it, be a Scrooge and don’t get a tree at all.

Animal cruelty I have been made aware of a very sad, and possibly cruel, situation. On a local country road, there are three horses standing in a small corral that is all mud. They are very close to the road, and although I saw some hay spread on top of the mud, the horses look scrawny and sick. They look like they huddle together for warmth. I saw no shelter they could go into in this bitter weather. My question is this: why do people keep pets if they don’t take care of them? I worry for them on these frigid days and nights, but apparently there are no laws preventing this type of abuse.

PAW’S CORNER

Off-Leash Dogs Bane of His Walks in Woods DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dog “Hatch” and I frequently walk the trails of a state park near my house.

A leash is required in the park, but many dog owners ignore this rule and allow their dogs to bound ahead. Not all of these dogs are well-socialized, and we’ve faced aggressive, unleashed dogs on the trails. I carry a walking stick in case I need to fend off an attacking dog -- something that hasn’t happened yet, though it’s come close once or twice. Please help me make other dog owners aware that off-leash dogs can make other dogs, and humans, quite nervous. Keeping dogs on leash will help avoid a confrontation, fight or injury. -- Doug S., Stoneham, Massachusetts DEAR DOUG: You’re absolutely right! Dog owners, always review the rules regarding pets on park lands. Even though forested trails seem remote and safer for dogs to run free without a leash, you never know if another dog is just around the bend. Further, even a leashed dog needs to follow basic commands like sit, stay and heel, and to come back immediately when called if the leash is accidentally dropped.

Rules are typically posted at trailheads, as well as on park websites.

There’s no reason to not be familiar with leash rules before going for a hike.

If you encounter an off-leash dog while on a trail, remain calm.

Shorten your dog’s leash so that he walks next to you. Stay calm and relaxed with the owner when they finally appear, too. Ask if they’re aware that there’s a leash rule on the trail, but don’t start a confrontation.

The more awareness you can build of your park’s rules, the fewer offleash meetings you’ll face.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson * Freshen stuffed animals by securing a few in a pillowcase and adding a fabric softener sheet. Put in the dryer on low heat for 20 minutes, then remove and brush out the fur, if necessary, while still warm. * “Keep a quart container in the freezer and whenever you have a small amount of leftovers, chop them up and add it to your container. When it’s full, thaw it.

Add some of your favorite soup beans, pizza sauce, milk and cheese, and you have a unique and delicious soup.” -- M. from Pennsylvania

* “For pastry cooking, try grating frozen butter into the flour. It cuts in better and will stay cool longer. This helps when I’m making shortbread, as the flour and butter need to be combined. I don’t end up having to put it in the fridge to cool it back down.” -- C.S. in South Carolina ●

Refresh Your Home for Spring Get rid of grime A whole season’s worth of dirt and dust accumulates during the cold winter months. A deep clean inside and out can restore your home to its former glory. Inside, take time to launder all of your linens, including curtains, rugs and bedding. Move furniture to vacuum behind and below, and don’t overlook dust and dirt magnets like mirrors, light fixtures and the insides of cabinets, especially higher shelves that see infrequent use. Outdoors, hose off or power-wash surfaces like windows, siding, decks and concrete to restore a crisp, clean appearance.

SENIOR NEWS By Matilda Charles

Is Telehealth All It’s Cracked Up to Be

Medicare started paying for telehealth medical visits last year and will continue through the end of 2023. With telehealth, we sit in our homes and talk to our doctor on a screen, and Medicare pays for it. In the beginning, the number of telehealth visits skyrocketed -- and then fell dramatically. Is that because we learned the hard way just what the limitations of telehealth really are?

There are people on both sides of the “should seniors use telehealth” debate. They both say they offer solid evidence for their opinion.

Those who claim it’s a great thing for us to consult with our doctors via a little screen say it’s helpful because it keeps us out of the doctor’s office. We don’t have to go in among all the germs, and we don’t need to worry about transportation.

On the other hand, those who are against telehealth appointments for seniors argue that many of us can’t even afford the very devices we would need for telehealth. Even if we have a cellphone, the screen is so small as to be worthless, especially if we have a vision or hearing problem. Then there are the plan fees needed for that device. And what of privacy when we need someone at hand to help navigate the software for us? Do we really want our grandchildren sitting there when we discuss a personal issue with our doctor?

Even if we have a computer, one with a large monitor, how is that going to work when we need the doctor to look at a rash on our back? Or if we really ought to have a stethoscope pressed to our chest because of that ragged cough we’ve had for days?

Note: If you have original Medicare, you’ll pay the same amount for the telehealth appointment as you would if you got the services in person. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

WORK AT HOME IN COMFORT AND SAFETY (NAPSI) — According to Darrell Smith, executive director of the International Window Film Association, window film makes a lot of sense for homeowners eager to save money on their energy bills.

“Solar-control films can block as much as 80 percent of the solar heat coming through glass into a building, decrease the heat load on the air-conditioning system and reduce energy costs,” Smith says.

With more people working and studying from home, window film allows in abundant natural sunlight while blocking 99 percent of the sun’s harmful UV rays to better protect the skin (from possible cancer) and eyes (from cataract development), while reducing the fading of floors and furnishings. Smith estimates that 40 to 60 percent of color fading is caused by UV exposure. Windows may also be upgraded for safety, as window film helps to hold glass pieces together if the window is impacted and broken.

For even a 3,000 square foot home, window film may be installed in a day or less with minimal disruption. Window film installers clean the glass before installation, keep the work space clean and practice safe contact as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control.

The family of JAMES ( JIM) PERRY Needs your help again!

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP:

This may be the last time we ask for your help in keeping Kevin Westfall in prison for murdering our brother Jim in 1992.

Inmate Westfall pled guilty to the charge of murder 2 and was given a prison term of 20 years to LIFE. Over the past several years, Inmate Westfall has been interviewed by the parole board and, with your help, his parole has been denied each time. However, with the recent parole of an inmate from Savona, NY who murdered a four-year-old child, we are more than worried that Inmate Westfall will also be granted parole.

Inmate Westfall has another parole hearing set for March 2022.

If he (Inmate Westfall) is released, he will most likely live in our County, if not our Town or Village.

Many of you may wonder why we don’t just say, “he has served his time, why not let him get out of prison?”

There are two reasons: first, he stabbed our brother to death at age 43 in an unprovoked, pre-meditated murder and the pain of that act has lived and will live with our family forever. (Take a moment and think what you would do if this were your loved one). Second, we promised our father before his passing that we would do everything possible to keep Inmate Westfall in prison for the LIFE sentence that he was given.

Send a letter stating that you want parole denied.

Be sure to include his name Kevin J. Westfall and DIN #93B1389,

and send to: SORC Collins Correctional Facility Middle Rd. PO Box 490 Collins, NY 14034-0490 OR Go online to https://doccs.ny.gov/form/ letters-in-support-or-opposition

We are so thankful for your help and the support you have shown through the years.

SMALL MOMENTS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE (NAPSI)—There are about 74 million children in America today and if you’re a parent, here’s something you should know: involved fathers— whether they live with their kids or not—can help their children lead happier, healthier and more successful lives. Children who feel close to their fathers are two times more likely to go to college or find a job after high school, 80 percent less likely to end up in jail and 50 percent less likely to experience depression.1 The small moments kids enjoy spending with their fathers can make a big difference in their lives. If you’re like most fathers, you’re already doing what you can to be a great dad. Here’s a look at five easy ways to keep it up.

What You Can Do 1. Spend time with your children.

2. Be a positive role model.

3. Send a text to stay connected when far away.

4. Read to your children.

5. Remember #DadJokesRule!

There has been a massive growth in fatherhood involvement over decades—fathers now spend nearly triple the amount of time with their children than fathers did in the 1960s.2 What Dads are Already Doing Recent research suggests fathers are already very involved:

• 90 percent consider their role as a dad to be rewarding day in and day out.3 • 78 percent have talked to their child’s teacher about progress in school.4 • 61 percent have attended a PTA or other school meeting.5 • Over half have helped with a class trip, special project or activity.6 • Over a third of fathers have helped with coaching their children’s sports teams.7 Even though fathers are largely more involved than in previous generations, dads today still want to be more engaged. Nearly half say they don’t spend enough time with their kids and want to do a better job at parenting.8 To help more fathers understand the importance of their role in their children’s lives, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families, the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (@fatherhoodgov), and the Ad Council (@ adcouncil) have partnered on a national Responsible Fatherhood Campaign.

“All dads should be supported and celebrated for their efforts on Father’s Day and year-round because we know how the story ends for the kids whose fathers show up for them consistently—these children and families thrive,” says Kenneth Braswell (@braswellkenneth), Director, National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse and Fathers Incorporated.

The campaign drives to Fatherhood.gov a free resource that offers information, tools and more. Dads can visit the website for ideas to get involved and stay involved in their children’s lives. Other resources include activity suggestions, homework help, online games and a long list of dad jokes! No matter how busy you may be, make time for your children. It only takes a moment to make a moment.

She loved getting her nails done and going on different driving adventures. Just recently she and her family spent a vacation at Disney Land in Florida–which she loved.

She is survived by her husband, David Coates of Springwater; her son, Robert Steen of Romulus; her step-daughter, Cheyanne Mickle of WA; her father, Robert Keebler; her grandchildren, Gracie, Dakota, Rose, Phillip and Lorna; family friend, Eric Jordan of Springville, NY; her siblings and their spouses; several nieces and nephews; and especially her service dog, Lexie; and beloved dog, Louie.

CONSERVE ENERGY AROUND THE OFFICE Conservation methods can help save energy and preserve natural resources, but business owners may also be intrigued by the potential cost-savings of conservation.

Utility costs vary depending on the size of a business, but the U.S. Small Business Administration notes that prospective business owners must estimate and include such costs when seeking loans to start their businesses. Estimated utility costs can be intimidating, especially for those owners who have never before owned their own businesses.

Traditional conservation methods like recycling and reusing are great ways to conserve and save around the office, but business owners also can embrace some other ways to lower their office energy costs while benefitting the planet at the same time.

Join the New York State Workforce As a Direct Support Professional Hourly Wage: $17.96 to $20.95 Salary range: $37,507 to $46,013

AIDE/NURSE NEEDED Cohocton (1 mile from Exit 2 off 390) Morning/Evening/Weekend Hours

Call (585) 384-5736 SHOW ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS THEY ARE APPRECIATED Business owners and bosses and high-level executives may have their names on placards or monogrammed stationery, but the most successful businesses tend to be those in which the entire staff, from the company president to administrative professionals and so on, works together.

Administrative professionals, sometimes referred to as “admins,” handle everything from spreadsheet generation to PowerPoint presentations to preparing schedules. Admins are often the unsung heroes of the workplace, and while they may not receive much fanfare, without the continued efforts of admins, businesses may grind to a halt.

In recognition of the roles they play, administrative professionals have been honored during a special week each April for the past 60 years.

Called Secretary’s Day upon its inception in 1952, the holiday was later expanded and the name changed to incorporate all of the employees who play pivotal administrative rolls in companies big and small.

Administrative professionals do a lot to keep companies afloat and operating smoothly. Supervisors, managers and other higher-ups can take every opportunity to show their appreciation to these hard, yet often unsung, workers.

ADVICE FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER CHANGE

LOCAL DELIVERY DRIVER • FULL-TIME Salary Range • Approx. $75,000 a year to start $3,000 Retention Bonus Program as well Excellent medical, dental and 401k benefits package!

Full-time employment opportunities for CDL-A drivers for current and future openings. Duties consist of delivering to McDonald’s restaurants in New York State. No layovers. Must be willing to work in the yard fueling and switching when not driving. Must be willing to work a flexible schedule, including a weekend day. Must be able to lift 50 lbs. 18+ months’ driving experience preferred.

To apply: http://www.a-d.us HOW TO ACE JOB INTERVIEWS WHEN SWITCHING CAREERS Use your contacts to your advantage. Even if much of your experience won’t transfer to your new career, your professional network might still be valuable to a prospective employer. The longer you have been working the larger your professional network likely is, so highlight those contacts in your interview and illustrate how you can put them to good use should you be hired.

Research the job market. Look into the industries for the field you are considering. Is it the right time for success in this field? Industries tend to ebb and flow. Do not leave a job only to find the next career has few, if any, openings. Job growth projections are available through resources like the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

EMPLOYMENT: THE NEXT STEP AFTER GRADUATION Do your homework before an interview or networking opportunity.

Always be prepared before an interview or when meeting with someone you are soliciting for job help. Research the company and know its background so you have an idea of how the company runs. Keep a list of questions at the ready. A knowledge of the company can help you stand out from other applicants.

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLING CAN PAVE THE WAY TO HIGH-PAYING JOBS Many students believe that the next natural step after graduating from high school is to go off to college. Secondary education has become such a common transition that many parents begin saving for college tuition as soon as their children are born. Although college can be the next chapter in a student’s education, many teenagers still choose to attend trade school.

Television personality Mike Rowe says the country is in the midst of a skilled labor shortage because workers lack the necessary training to fill the hundreds of thousands of available jobs. Lack of information may drive the notion that trade jobs are nothing more than a backup plan if college doesn’t pan out. However, by realizing that trade jobs, along with short-term vocational training, is a smart investment - and eventually a lucrative career choice - attitudes about trade schools and laborintensive jobs may shift.

A great number of college graduates enter the workforce with degrees that may not help them land jobs. And these students typically carry thousands of dollars in tuition debt. Many college grads are underemployed and working in jobs that aren’t even in their fields of study. Career and technical schools help students develop specialized skills that make graduates immediately marketable in their chosen fields, and trade salaries can be very competitive.

THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A NEW JOB

RÉSUMÉ WRITING RULES TO FOLLOW Keep juicy details up top Format the résumé so the most pertinent information is within the top onethird of the document. Beef up a summary statement and use it in lieu of an objective. Make sure that summary includes keywords that promote your skills and experience to potentially lure the recruiter into reading more.

Satisfaction: When attempting to achieve a better work/life balance, it can be easy to overlook satisfaction at work in exchange for more time at home. But studies have shown that feeling satisfied by what you do can have a profound impact on your overall happiness. It’s possible to find an engaging career that still affords you time away from work, and such a career can ultimately pave the way toward a happier life.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS

TAKE THE FIRST STEP.

Speak up about your stress. As noted, stress at the workplace can affect workers’ performance, which employers are looking to optimize. Workers can speak to their employers if they feel their work environments are conducive to stress. Work in tandem with an employer to develop timesaving strategies that make it easier to get work done on time.

Supervisors may encourage employees to delegate more often, freeing up time to get their work done. Employers may also direct employees to wellness resources that can help them more effectively combat stress.

The outcomes of such discussions may never be known if workers never take the initiative and speak up about their stress.

Connect with great local opportunities that fit your schedule.
