EDMONTON | RED DEER

PET OF THE WEEK Hi there, I’m Brixton!

Animal ID: 93542

I’m a shy tabby fella with cute white markings and a tiny "dipstick" tail! I travelled to the Edmonton Humane Society from the Grande Prairie SPCA, and my past is a bit of a mystery. At the shelter, I live in a cat chalet with other feline friends, but I tend to keep to myself when things get too busy. Don’t let that stop you from getting to know me! With a soft voice and a tender touch, I quickly warm up to my human companions; I’ll be rolling over for a tummy rub and purring softly in no time at all.

I am definitely a treasure worth seeking — come meet me today!

Age: 5 years

Sex: Male

Breed: Domestic Short Hair

PET OF THE WEEK

Fang

Reference Number: 29347559

Hi, I'm Fang the boa constrictor! Take a look at my beautiful brown and tan colouration, isn't it great? Not to mention my stunning patterns. Did you know that we boa constrictors are big guys? We can grow up to around 13 feet! As like many snakes, I'm ectothermic which means I can't produce my own heat, so make sure you do your research before choosing a pet like me! I’ve been waiting for my forever home for 341 days, it’s a long time to wait, but I’m sure the perfect home is just around the corner.

Think I'm the one for you? Come see me today!

Age: Unknown

Sex: Unknown

Breed: Snake/Purebred

Do you have a work-related question?

Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.

First, there are a number of free career and employment programs for young Albertans in communities across the province. You can search online or connect with your local Alberta Works Centre to find out what’s available in your community.

The Employment, Training and Career Services directories for Calgary and Edmonton are available at humanservices.alberta.ca/regions.

Second, you can call the Career Information Hotline, toll-free at 1-800-661-3753 (780-422-4266 in Edmonton) to speak with a career counsellor.

Third, the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) website is a one-stop career and education portal. ALIS (alis.alberta.ca) offers helpful career and education planning information and services for high-school students, post-secondary students, career explorers, and job seekers.

You may find ALIS’s CAREERinsite website helpful (careerinsite.alberta.ca). CAREERinsite walks you through the career planning process of getting to know yourself, evaluating your options, creating a plan and taking action.

You might also want to check out myworkquest.alberta.ca. MyWorkQuest is a mobile-friendly question-and-answer website focused on youth employment. If you're graduating from school, looking for your first job or just thinking about what you want to do with your future, MyWorkQuest can help.

MyWorkQuest features helpful questions and answers about career planning, choosing a post-secondary program, and finding a job, including: • Help! I don’t know what to do with the rest of my life. Where should I start?

• Is there somewhere I can turn to talk about my future?

• Is finding the work I like as hard as people say it is?

• How do I know I will be successful in my career?

• How do I start planning my career right now?

• How do I find a job if I have no experience?

• What's out there to help me look for a job?

• What jobs are in demand in Alberta?

You can also submit your own question. A career counsellor will respond to your question via email. And, if your question is useful for others, a version of your question may even be added to MyWorkQuest.

Good luck!
