EDMONTON | RED DEER

PET OF THE WEEK Animal ID: 81414

My name is Maurice.

I am a very friendly, outgoing, and inquisitive guy who adores being around people. I enjoy soaking up affection from my human companions, and will lay right down to lavish in the treatment. I LOVE to eat and just can’t get enough lettuce, kale, parsley and raspberries. I'm not picky though; if you have food, you have my heart!

I am fairly tidy in my cage and regularly use my litter box to do my business.

I like to chew, so make sure I have plenty of enrichment items to occupy my time such as wood chews, paper towel rolls and toys. I adore kids and love to sit with them and be around them as long as they are gentle with me.

I really am a sweet boy and I would love to find my perfect forever home! I promise to shower you in bunny kisses and lots of snuggles. I am available for adoption now, I am not on the adoption floor because of an allergy-like condition; if you are interested in meeting me please contact the folks at the front desk and they will arrange a visit. My foster mom adores me, but wants me to meet you!

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!

MY JOB FINDER ALBERTA JOB OPPORTUNITIES 7

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I’m feeling bored and burnt out at my job, but I can’t leave because there are not a lot of other jobs right now. What can I do to feel better about my career?

Signed, Burnt Out Dear Burnt Out: The economy may have slowed down, but that doesn’t mean your career has to lose momentum. You might want to try career laddering to inject some excitement back into your work day.

Career laddering is simply looking for career opportunities that fit the needs of your organization. Career laddering can help you: - Gain new skills and use more of the skills you enjoy - Make changes that lead to recognition and promotion - Meet new people and develop your network of people - Build a better fit between your work and personal life - Increase your job satisfaction.

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, think about where you are and where you want to be: - What do you like about your work? What are you good at? Are you using those skills?

- What attracted you to your current job or organization? Has anything changed since?

- Does your job reflect the training and experience you’ve gained since you started?

- Does your job support changes in your personal life, e.g., marriage, parenthood, etc.?

- Does your work conflict with your values?

Second, think about changes that could increase your satisfaction at work: - Job carving: can you redesign your job so you’re doing more of the work you find satisfying?

- Lateral move: can you move into another position that interests you more?

- Training: can you upgrade your skills so you can make a lateral move or qualify for a promotion?

Taking action is a great way to shake off the frustration of feeling trapped.

- Be on the lookout for on-the-job learning opportunities, acting or developmental roles, and chances to learn new skills through cross-training.

- Change-up your day-to-day work by offering to coach junior staff or get involved in special projects or long-term planning.

- Take on new challenges, volunteer for projects or to work at a different location—anything to expand your skills and experience.

- Maintain your network of contacts both inside and outside your organization to help you discover potential new career directions.

Third, talk to your boss about the changes you have in mind. Your supervisor may be more open-minded and flexible than you think—especially if your ideas fit with their needs and the needs of the organization.

Aligning your job and career with your values, passions, lifestyle and long-term goals will help you shake those negative feelings and renew your enthusiasm about your job and your future.

Good luck!
